Supporters are set to “use the force” on the final day of the season after the theme for this year’s fancy dress was revealed to be Stormtroopers.

It has long been a tradition for Pools fans to dress up in unison on the last away day of the campaign – and this year’s long trip to Home Park looks set to be one of the most spectacular yet.

In previous years fans have attended games dressed as Smurfs, Oompa Loompas, Penguins and Where’s Wally before last term turning the away end at Carlisle in to a Bob Marley-themed reggae party.

Now the Stormtroopers of Pools’ Imperial Army are all set to descend on Plymouth Argyle’s Home Park to celebrate the end of another campaign.

“Two years ago we sent the Thunderbirds to offer Colin Cooper’s squad International Rescue at Plymouth,” explained organiser John Pearson.

“This year, with Plymouth potentially going for automatic promotion, it’s felt we need to send a stronger ‘force’ to match up to their Green Army!

“Stormtroopers have come close to making an appearance in the past but it’s topical at the moment and we feel like now is their time.”

Fancy-dressed Pools fans have become part and parcel of the last day of Football League action every year and they quickly become the talk of social media nationwide as they’re spotted en route to the game.

In 2012, a photograph of an army of Smurfs on the London Underground taken by Northern Echo reporter Nick Loughlin went viral – showing Pools fans making their way to Charlton Athletic.

It’s all in the name of having a good time and making football fun for all supporters – young and old – and Pearson is confident that the Stormtroopers will have similar appeal.

“We will have our usual 120-odd making the journey and the ages range from 12 to 70,” he revealed.

“The younger fans particularly enjoy it which is what it’s all about really – hopefully it can add to the atmosphere at the game again, just as it has done in years gone by.

“After the success of last year’s Reggae theme at Carlisle and the atmosphere it helped create, I’m sure some of the older Troopers may well forget themselves and default to Super Troopers so maybe there’ll be a few Abba renditions!

“At the end of the day, the aim is to bring a bit of light-hearted fun to the end of a season and to spend a week with some exiled fans who we won’t see again until the start of next season.”
