Whoa hang on there jase, there was nothing secret about the suporters club voting, it was posted on here that if you were a paid up member of the supporters club (are you jase?) then you could vote through the supporters club website or on the night of the last supporters club meeting. how is that a secret event?

As for the award itself it is a supporters club supporter of the year trophy which last year was opened up to all supporters for them to be nominated and for voting, however due to certain people trying to use their position with the football club to coerse people to vote for them, (and I will not name names) it was decided that this year it would go back to the way it was previous to last year where you had to be a member of the supporters club and an active helper to the football club or in the fundraising efforts of the supporters club, for the football club. The person who won fills those criteria admirably.

It was also decided that this year the trophy should be a unisex award instead of 2 seperate awards for male and female. So there is now a new trophy.

Oh and by the way jase we asked for your trophy back over 2 months ago, so that it can go in the cabinet in the sports bar, any danger of that actually happening?

All the aim of the supporters club is, is to raise money for the football club, it's not about personal awards but about recognition for those who do their damndest to help. We may not make a lot of noise at games or paint the town red but we support the club all the same, just in a different way to you.

If you wanna pick on the supporters club then fine, but get your facts straight. Or even better pay your £5 yearly subscription, come to a few meetings (second monday of every month 7pm in the sports bar) and have your say, it might not be your idea of a great night out but every penny put over the bar goes to the club and you might actually take part in something worthwhile for everybody involved at the football club.

Next meeting is this monday the 8th of may, you can make yourself a member on the night.
