Thomas.  He makes nearly all of the away games, whether by supporters coach, or not

Think I announced it a couple of times and there's mentions in the programme?

Sorry mate. Rarely hear announcements.

Beau Nash wrote:So can I take it that given the lack of detail or response from the organisers this is a NON event and there will be another event after the season end when players and management will be present so that supporters can thank them all for their efforts this season.

Match day programme, I and many others don't see its content.
Tannoy is very difficult to hear clearly and not the place to give detail.

I am not making adverse criticism of anyone's effort just the lack of easily available detailed information. So comrade or yuffie (or anyone else), instead of being defensive and taking umbrage, do you know what is happening at this event; is there a list or timetable. [/color]

And seeing as Bob has probably spent months organising this Legends Evening, and works his socks off elsewhere trying to make money for us, he probably didn't have the time to organise something else which, going by last year, won't be worthwhile? The bar should still be busy after the game (even I might pop in) so I'm sure it'll be ok.

stillmanjunior wrote:I announced it at least five times - before game, half-time, after game. Only bit I missed was during it, which I probably could have done for Hayes & Yeading as little else was going on.

On the poplar side there is no certainty an announcement is heard

Apologies you've missed all of those. From a personal point of view if I was interested in what was going on with the End of Season Awards I would have contacted the club directly, even if it was weeks in advance. Problem solved.

I cannot believe that the Club is going to cram it into Charlies, and not the whole of the Clubhouse. There was considerable disgruntlement about the event last year - a poor mike, and a race night that didn't really get off the ground (and was eventually abandoned before it was due to end), race cards being sold to unsuspecting people who didn't understand them; but the overwhelming grouse was that it was far too crowded, and, except for those people in the 'front rows' the majority of us could not hear, let alone see, the presentations being made. Because the event, quite rightly, included presentations to the 'junior' teams as well, unless you were in that room half an hour before 'kick-off' you had nowhere to sit!
I know that a lot of fans brought their 'better halves' with them last year, but I am pretty sure that had Andy W not assured everyone that the lesson had been learnt and the whole clubhouse would be available next time, they would not have considered coming again.
Randalls has the stage, which would enable a much better viewing of the presentations.
Lastly - if we are expecting lots of supporters to pour into Charlies straight after the match, where will poor ol' players - especially those from Sutton, have their post-match grub? It will be the height of bad manners by the Club if they had nowhere to sit! 

Players will probably be in the upstairs facilities for their post match pizza.

Thanks for that reminder Steve.  In my senile moment I had forgotten that chaotic night when I walked in, turned around, and went straight back out as did many others.  A great pity as I was looking forward to it, the idea was great and Andy had confirmed the details.

So in the absence of any information about this year another fiasco beckons. I will go elsewhere for my Saturday night out.  

That makes c.£450 of revenue the club has NOT had from me this season from the £500 I offered at the start.
