One word Tradition. We either want an owner/board who keep to traditions or we don't. So now resort to pick and choose traditions which they want to keep and **** the fans
We're not in a position to pick and choose our owner. I'm not going to besmirch PC for trying to make the club self sufficient rather than having to pour money into it season after season. I'd much rather we make a bit of extra money where we can than season ticket prices having to increase. If you think PC has in any way ****ed the fans over then I just give up.
He could always try selling all the unused advertising spaces. I gave a serious and popular suggestion to increase advertising take up ages ago. It remains unadopted despite the ridiculously low cost and effort involved. We have a scoreboard that is broken because the club is unwilling to install a new one which WOULD generate revenue through advertising. So nobody can claim this is about making us self sufficient because if it is it is akin to sell g off your grannies earrings to pay for your sky package before even bothering to apply for any jobs
I said pc/BOARD They make the decisions. A break from a tradition that PC doesn't like and it won't happen. Pure and simple. So I am including him in this. Yes
They can still have their din din evening, without taking away the POTY awards from the main body of supporters. It's bad form.
I remember Jacob getting young player of the year, on crutches at the end of the 2011-12 season, on the pitch. He got booed. He always does. But you're right, the awards dinner had already been held.
Awards were on the pitch last season before we battered Rochdale. As it should be. It puts a damper on what should be a well attended and hopefully a happy day for supporters and players alike.
I don't mind them already being announced at an awards do, as others point out, it's a money spinner innit? But only if they do it before the final home game, so we fans who can't get to said awards do can applaud the lad we've voted for as POTY. Or in this season's case, not the lad I voted for. Maybe the club are expecting us to have a playoff game to come, and do it then? Horse and bolted come to mind.
Is it a money spinner though? Ive never seen or heard a single person say that it was the reason they went to the dinner.
The club must make money out of it, surely? Well, they ought to at those prices. £700 for a table. I've got one in the shed that you can have for nowt.
