List all the away fancy dress themes by year, and is this year's the most lame and likely to be least well supported?

' The Monkey hangers' I thought the obvious choice would be a Planet of the Apes theme??

I can remember monkeys at an away cup match too, a local publican was stunned when a dozen Poolies in full monkey suits were at the bar. And around the same time there was an appearance of what their banner claimed to be " the Punjab Branch of HUFC Supporters Association, all tanned up in full regalia and turbans. Think that was a cup match too.

Where's Wally at Brentford. Griffin Park. Think it was the year before Oompa Loompas.

I thought this years might have been American themed although the organiser is very definitely a Raj-ette, maybe it's them having a last laugh after the full time appointment of NF as manager?

Cheerleaders flashing some pink would certainly increase attendances.
