Wonder how the club and supporters trust navigated their way through the complex world of promoting alcohol to children with the 'champagne' moment of the season?

The non-alcoholic, sparkling fruit drink award would be far more inclusive. ?

Babycham moment of the season?

Perhaps this time the POTY won't leave the club before the start of the next season. 

Bentley broke that run last season.

I love the announcement pics. Great work by the club. As ever well done to the SC&T for organising.

Thought Cameron Pring would have been up for this...made 34 appearances to Ayman's 11....born in Southmead Hospital. Maybe the Senior Reds weren't aware as the club (and Wikipedia) show as born in Cheltenham.

Because the engraver who does all our work wasn’t taking orders during covid, and is now stupidly busy so we couldn’t get it sorted in time for yesterday. Rest assured we’re on his waiting list. :)

There hasn’t been for a while has there?  Seem to recall the last couple have been daytime training ground affairs.

The SC held presentation evenings for many years but in recent times those events have stopped and this season were held at the training ground.

One benefit for holding such an event was that fans could attend and see the various awards presented to the winners ‘live’ and an opportunity to meet the players.

Imo it’s a shame that it hasn’t happened for a while now.

With the awards being presented before the season ends, it probably makes sense there is no ceremony or big event.

Especially when we have a season with little to shout about.

Maybe next season, when we have the title confirmed in March, they'll organise a bigger-do! ?

Wasn’t a clear winner apparently 

It should go to NTTDS - John attends every City match home and away and has done so for many years. He’s the most dedicated and loyal City that I’ve ever met.

He deserves such an award Imo.

No chance. We'll all be too pissed.

I agree!  Had the pleasure of meeting NTTDS on the way back from Bournemouth the other week.

I’m not knocking that fact, but I do think that when taking into consideration both time and travel costs it is considerably easier for him than most. Everything is relevant. 

Personally I don’t agree with Fan of the year unless there is exceptional circumstances. I also think the awards ceremony was a bit of a closed shop which is a shame.

The skip and bin photographer of the year award would have been a foregone conclusion too.?

I think you’re bang on.

The fact is that the fan of the year will typically, unless exceptionally, have a small voting base (hence the 15 but that’s still low). Unlike with players where we all know what they’ve done, for fans it tends to be the immediate circle only. Even this forum is a small number of fans representatively.

I also think that comparing one fan to another is unhelpful. If someone makes one game a year or 46 they’re a fan, and  it’s usually circumstance (both financial and personal) that dictates. I’m a non singing Dolman dweller. As I pay more than the south stand does it make me more of a fan? no. As I sing less does it make me less of a fan? No.

I don’t think it’s a great idea for an award, even though I acknowledge the intent.

I’m less passionate about the “closed shop” awards. The SC&T have done the work, and arranging a wider event when we’re not long out of restrictions isn’t that realistic. Fair play for the work done and hope they enjoyed themselves - hopefully a fuller event next year.

I agree, I think there have been some obvious ones, e.g. Oskar who captured a lot of people’s hearts (players and fans alike), so I don’t think it should be awarded for the sake of awarding it.

The presentation award ceremony used to be very successful for the reasons I highlighted earlier in this thread and I agree it’s real shame that they no longer happen.

I don’t buy the ‘we’ve not a successful season’ excuse either.That’s not a viable reason imo.

When I was involved in the SC as was we had to get the agreement from whoever the manager was at the time and only time we didn’t organise one was the year we got relegated back to L1.

I take it that you sent someone else for that conversation in 2008…

Really good point- that was an obvious standout in an amazing year but in truth usually most of us have absolutely no idea who to vote for in this category in a particular year.

My old man is 81 & is still a regular, the chap who sits behind me is in his late 80s, these two have both been going for ever, who is to say beyond the obvious examples like Oskar who deserves it more than either of them?

Certainly going to every game if you have the time & money doesn’t make you a “better” supporter than someone skint who sees 3 games a season as that’s all they can afford or someone who does the same due to their caring commitments.

It’s the club who want it at the training ground on a non match day, we just have had to fit in with that. We’d love it on the pitch just before kick off, but have been told we’re not allowed to do that

No, because they haven’t been done for at least two years, so we need to do a job lot on the trophies. 

I mean that it jumps from 2019 to 2022 so can't just add Bentley and Diedhiou on the end. Have to replace the entire plaque cus of getting the current winners put on it.

Give it to the guy whose shed burned down with all his memorabilia inside.

Which is a shame. I understand why it cannot be on a matchday before a match, I don’t think that is a good time either as it would be a rushed distraction.

But how many fans attended, was it open to all? Did people know it was happening and could ask to attend? And if so most people generally work during the day so not a good time unless you are retired etc.

In the past wasn’t it an evening event? I understand due to Covid it naturally had to be scaled down but it would have been nice for more fans to have the option to attend to celebrate the return to normal. I don’t buy the argument that players aren’t available in the evening as I’m sure if there was a posh restaurant opening for example they would be all over it.

Again, it’s the club who tell us where to be if we want to hand over the awards. Their argument is they need to focus on the games left, and we can’t do it post season as they all bugger off on holiday.
 

For what it’s worth I agree with you, but given the last few seasons there’s been a combination of covid/not much to celebrate, there hasn’t really been much of an argument to push for a bigger “event” as such. The last time that happened was pre covid and in 2017 when Tammy won everything, that happened out on the stage in the Winterstoke car park. 
 

I guess that’s why the players do the lap at the end of the last home game, so fans can show their appreciation then.

Special Recognition Award presented today in the Supporters Bar before the game. Congrats to Leah Case & Eve Ralph!

 

As well as pink goblets, both were given a presentation pack of WKD blue, and a commemorative ironing board cover.

Seriously though, good to see that campaign recognised, been a long time coming.

I know you’re joking Rob, but I’m guessing the goblets are red, as opposed to Bristol BLUE glass?

The campaign feels even more special as I think it really started in Bristol.  Good on them.

As long as they weren't engraved Doncaster Wanderers (or whatever it was the Fewers managed!) I'm sure they'll be much cherished.
