Anyone know, Is there a limit of how many medals the league will supply to the club and how many games an individual must play to be eligible to get one?0
-
The club gets 18 for players and a few more for the manager, secretary, coaches and physio.
The club can buy extra medals if they want to.0 -
Leon Clarke also played for both teams ,in fact he played more for us than Benson.
According to our stats ,Benno only played 12 minutes.0 -

Alonso was spotted walking round the pitch at full time on Saturday. Good to know he's alive.0 -

Can someone provide a link to this thread please?
The club should buy a few spares and keep them to auction them in the future. They go for a lot of money from what we saw of Clive Mendonca's. I'd certainly be interesting in buying one if they were selling them!0 -
How many players have made some forn of contribition? And how nych does am extra cost- anybody know?0

Only if you went to Dagenham away last season! :-0

Don't you have to play at least 10 games to get a medal?0

For what reason should Benson get a winners medal for us?0

Team solidarity.
Unless they cost a fortune would be good to let all the players who represented the team in the league have a medal.
Powell did say when asked who was his player of the year "Any one who's played" or words to that effect. What is an extra £50 or £100 x 10 going to hurt?

He's part of the Swindon team now, so what's the reason again?0

i'm a big fan of benno, but don't think there is any reason for him to get a medal from the league, if the club do something for the squad then sure include him, but although not his fault he did not contribute on the field and should not have league recognition.0

I thought there was a minimum number of games that had to have been played. I'm sure that Wenger put Martin Keown on for two minutes in Arsenal's last Championship season to ensure that he got a medal. I know that the Premier League is another competition, but one appearance over a 46 game season hardly counts as 'making a contribution'. Especially if we win the title by nine points.0
-
If Benson gets a medal, then so should Leon Clarke and Rob Elliott.
But then I think we should keep it to players who have started at least 5 or 6 league games0 -
come on as a sub for the first game of the season doesn't merit a winners medal IMO. He's going to get on with Swindon anyway.
How about we give Simon Francis one too?0 -

I'll let Gracie explain the role that small contributions make to overall victory.

I think the risk with this Henry is that the players that have really contributed could be tempted to feel that their medal is devalued if players that made one or two appearances get one just for being here.For what reason should Benson get a winners medal for us?

Having said that, if the club offer to order in more medals and sell them I'd certainly buy one. I think my contribution over the last thirty years would justify me having a memento of this fantastic season.
In fact, the club should order some to be made (not exact replicas) to sell to fans. This would, I'd imagine, be very profitable. Just like if they took the shirts left in the club shop and had them embroidered with League one Champions 2011/12 and stuck the gold badges on the sleeve they'd be able to sell them for much more than the £10 they are asking now.0 -

Not to mention Lee Cook ,Hogan Ephraim and Dany N'Guessen all of whom contributed more to the team than Benno and of course the Doc who played more minutes.0 -
For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.
And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.
Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive. So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.
And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny. And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house, Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day. But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny? Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee. Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good? So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.0 -

What that story fails to go on to say Henry is that by the following summer the farmer had gone bust because all the men would hide until the eleventh hour and work for a penny an hour rather than a penny a day.
You see word goteth aroundeth that you could spend most of the day in the pub then turn up for an hour and get paid the same as the blokes that had been sweating all day. In the end those that were working for a penny a day decided to join those that were working for a penny an hour - why wouldn't they?
In time the farmer was paying close to ten times as much for his labour and had to bring in more and more men and the price of his wine went up so much that no one would buy it and he lost his farm, his wife and his kids as they all ran off with the farmer down the road, who demanded a whole days work for a penny.
What's ironic with this story, however, is that those men that were working for a penny an hour never felt any obligation to the farmer, and when he committed suicide as he'd lost everything they just went on their way and sought employment elsewhere - for a penny a day.0
