Not fair, Waddy.

I used to run a club website... take all the photos, write all the match reports... write all the match previews... design all the content... moderate the message board... do all the club promotion... do live radio match reports... distribute flyers... even turn up on a Saturday morning to watch the Under 9s play. A thankless task, sir, and whoever does all of these things for Stanley does a truly fabulous job - hence the award!

Mind you, I still used to get moaned at, nearly every match. The best moan was after I setup a couple of tv interviews, got two of the local radio stations to a couple of matches, and finally managed to win a fiver off the groundsman for increasing our usual 250 attendance to over a thousand. He said to me, "You're only doing it cos you love the sound of your own voice." Perhaps he was right. Perhaps I did enjoy talking to myself while putting 3000 leaflets through doors in the ****ing rain cos no-one else would volunteer any help.

So... are you volunteering to do away match reports, Waddy? I look forward to reading them, because I'm now on the other side of the fence. One little slip where I had Proctor on the right, rather than the left and I get picked up on it. Imagine what it's like when you get something important wrong! You have to sneak out of town under cover of darkness!!

Respect to the web-team!
