    Another interesting point..

    the concept of denying offers on gold games was totally thrown out  without prompting - those games instead seen as an advert for the ‘ product’ I guess. Completely different way of thinking (thumbs up)

    was just mulling it over - i guess she would come across as quite level headed, articulate, diplomatic and her posts would be encouraging differing views rather than imposing views on others - on that basis, forget it, she don't post on here  :smile:

    Pretty surprised that the clubs Fan Liaison Officer doesn't come on the clubs biggest fans forum. Even if she doesn't post anything you'd expect she'd at least want to have a browse just to see what's going on and what fans are saying about certain things.
    I'm not surprised really. These days I don't actually want to come on the clubs biggest fans forum to have a browse either! But, alas, here we are.

    I have just read the various comments concerning the Supporter of the Year award. Let me explain for those who are looking for some sort of conspiracy theory. Since about 2010 I have organised the annual Player of the Year Dinner on behalf of the Fans Forum and in the company of two other ladies, at least one of whom is well known to Charlton Life regulars. Early on I had the idea that it would be fun to make an award to a supporter of the year as a way of acknowledging those who go that extra mile on behalf of the club that we all love. The award is given out at the Dinner although Covid has prevented that in the last two years. Previous winners, from memory, have included Jean Tindall & Betty Hutchings, Colin Cameron, Seb Lewis, Bernard Wickham, the German Addicks, Rick Everitt and the Boardroom Four. Hardly controversial choices I would have thought and as far as I am aware all the recipients have been delighted to receive their awards. It is not a vote and they are selected by the Dinner organisers. Yes, we arrange the event on behalf of the Fans Forum, but they are purely our choices. I hope that this clarifies the situation for you and should you have any  suggestions for next year, please let me know as hopefully Covid will allow us to make the presentation in person at the Dinner once again.
    Can we have an election where a short list of potential panel members are voted for. Then the top 20 can run for election to the main awarding board. The 10 that win a seat can then hold regular meetings to discuss the relative merits of each individual supporter, after that process they can vote for their choice of " Supporter Of The Year". That should save any conspiracy theories. Oh Wait !!!!

    Thank you for clearing that up.
    The award is decided by three people.

    well thats cleared that up then - don't know what all the secrecy was about - there were quite a  few who went above and beyond in the last couple of years but if its just the choice of 3 people, fair enough

    Have I said anything at all about the dinner on this thread?
    The mystery that has been cleared up (and I refer you to @razils link) is that it seemed to be the case that the fans forum decide the fan of the year.
    However the question I asked is, if the fans forum does not meet (due to covid) how do they do that?
    There was some discussion as to whether people in the fans forum have a ring round about it when requested by the club who initiate the award.
    Then it turns out that isn't the case, the award is nothing to do with the fans forum, and also nothing to do with the club beyond publicising the decision.
    Then it turns out that the decision is down to a group of three people, which clears up some confusion that it has anything to do with the fans forum formally using any particular process.

    I think people were just particularly interested this year as to how the decision is arrived at - I don’t think anybody was bothered before

    So, what you're saying is you got the wrong end of the stick re the fans forum deciding on the supporter of the year.

    Why this actually matters is anyone's guess!

    Good to hear it was productive and that TS turned up in person.  For all the criticism he gets at times all I see is an owner who is really trying to communicate and take advice.  Sure some bad decisions have been made and sure his money is finite but he seems an amazingly decent owner so far to me.
