Hartlepool fans turn up as mime artists for final away game of season
An annual tradition of dressing up for the last away game of the season has earned supporters of the League Two club worldwide coverage in recent years.
In the past, they have acquired something of a reputation for going to games dressed as penguins, Thunderbirds, Smurfs and Stormtroopers.
And on Saturday, they kept the tradition alive by travelling down to Cheltenham Town as a swarm of black and white stripes, equipped with face-paint, braces and black berets.

They have to beat Doncaster Rovers at home, while relying on Notts County to avoid defeat Newport County at Rodney Parade.
