Torquay United Fans Forum

I've just read your PM Joe, as I've moved up to Scotland and I don't have internet access for the next couple of weeks. I'll create 6 threads now for the 6 games already played, so we have all the data. We can discuss the rest of it over the season, as there's no rush at all. It would be interesting to see the results.

To be honest, I think a presentation like this would look cheap and a rip-off of last season's shenanigans from our neighbours.

There are already official end-of-season awards which will mean far more to a player than a bottle of champers from a few keyboard warriors.

Plus, as selfish as it may sound, I already spend a heck of a lot following the Gulls. 'Just' turning up and supporting the team should be enough. After all, we're already the ones helping to fund Benners' fizzy pop, and Lil' Danny's weekly dose of pix 'n' mix.

So based on that, count Scrooge out.

Top 5 performers:

Bevs
Branston
Robbo
Nicho
Ellis

Tells it's own story...

Soooooooooooooo

Bevs 10 points
Rest of team nil points

:lol:

cant we give the winner a voucher for a meal at the eastern eye???? :rofl:

Yellow you can put your fishing rod away now :) ,joe has well and truely bitten :)

Think the presentation of a trophy is a very good idea,unless you are prepared to fork out for a real quality bottle of champers it just looks cheap,also it does smack of something the tff did,and this site should be different.

please,please no return to champagne gate.

[quote="westbaygull"]I agreed when Gulliball mentioned this that it's a good idea..two points I would make however. Firstly that 5 players is maybe stretching it a bit, would it not be better to just vote on the top two or three outstanding performances? And secondly, and no offence Joe, but surely all the voting should be transparent, ie votes cast on the board and not via pm.

That's because you're incredibly old.

Or...

This is what happens when people are allowed to drink (heavily) during matches.

Matt.

Yellow, could I just say that my presentation was NOTHING to do with TFF, it was just me on my own and that I`m just a member there as I am on here, no job at all on there. Just to be clear about that please to avoid confusion.

I`ll talk to Dave later on to see what he thinks and decide later on, of course I take everyones veiews on this and will try and amend this. The champagne itself I dont think is a sainbury`s cheap plonk but not expensive.

I think we can do better than this.

How about a trophy, bought by our members on an annual basis, presented by a democratically voted "Poster of the Year"?

Joe can still do his presentation personally if he wishes and as it's an original idea the TFF can't moan at us for "pinching" their idea.

After the Buck s Fizz incident I m not too sure about this.

After his presentation to Bucks last year on behalf of the TFF Joe is clearly associated with that organisation which, when all said and done, is probably his natural home.

My concern would be if there was confusion about whether this award came from an independent TUFC supporters forum, ......or from the TFF.

I also echo the concerns of happytorq in that it could look a bit tacky just like the TFF presentation last season.

5 votes is too many BTW. One or two should suffice.

Good idea!! :)

Damn, never thought of that one Haps. Ticket stubs? :)

Also, are you going to limit this to people who only went to the games? bc that's impractical; how are you going to prove it?

I agreed when Gulliball mentioned this that it's a good idea..two points I would make however.

Not a bad idea, but could we come up with a better prize than a bottle of plonk from Sainsbury's? It just screams "Crap, we couldn't think of what else to give", plus these are professional athletes so I'm not sure we want to be encouraging them to drink.

Get them some kind of trophy to keep and see if we could get a permanent trophy, perhaps to be displayed in the Trophy Cabinet at Plainmoor.
