| Or will it go the way of everything else designed to attract and retain fans whilst showing appreciation for the hard work the players and Staff have put in?
Surely the Ladies deserve an award? Eccles?
Who has been out stand out player and who has been the best improved?
These might seem like trivial matters but they have a huge impact on morale........and not at the cherry red gold lounge either.....book a VENUE and do something right in 2022.

I know what you mean Orange but I think they may need to run before they can walk. Keep it low key maybe next year will be better.
Player of the year is Parata - very consistent, always one of the better players on the pitch.
Most improved - there are lots to choose from but to an extent, and without trying to be snide, mainly because so many were anonymous in the 1st months of the season. Situ, Ulberg, Macani and Grant all played a significant part in our improving performances but IMHO did little in the early days- maybe that was Coleman’ s fault I just don’t know. I would tend to suggest most improved is Leyland. Like others (I think) I couldn’t see why the club thought so highly of him and Horsmann they proposed to build the team around him.to me he seemed very much a work in progress. The game time has definitely benefitted him and he is a much more influential and consistent player now. His kicking is still a bit scratchy but from the tee he has been much better than what went before. I’d also give an honourable mention to Williams who has been the forgotten man of the squad over the last couple of years but I think has been a solid team player and added a bit of go forward.
Having said all that if we get tanked by Leigh and then Barrow I suspect everyone will just want done with this season and rest for next year.

| To be honest, it is my belief that the club offer very little to the sponsors in the way of value.
I remember in the past sitting with one of the sponsors in the hospitality at Ealing. Sponsors had hospitality then.
In talking to the guy, I found that he offered 10% discount to season ticket holders. I and the others at the table new nothing of this.
Club sponsors never get mentioned at the ground on matchday. We have no program so no exposure there. No signs.
I do wonder if these sponsorship deals are what they seem or are they simply contra deals.
Like the Hull Trains sponsorship. I would not be surprised if some monkey got train tickets from them in exchange..
Look at when Dacia made a car available to the club. Lobster in the photos of the hand over was dressed like a tramp. What sort of impression did that give? No sign of Dacia at the club these days, is there ?
I believe that the only sponsor that pays pound notes is the LBSA and look at how the club treated them.
As with many things at the club you do wonder why people bother.

| I'd just have it for the Ladies team.. I think most of us would prefer to forget that 2022 even existed concerning the mens team, but the Ladies deserve a major shout out, the only bright spot of the nightmare this season has become.
I'm not expecting anything other than 2 heavy defeats last 2 matches, after all I'll bet a lot of the players know they will be leaving at the end of the season, as I'm not expecting DH will be putting in anymore proper funding any time soon, and the fact we still have no clue who will be our coach next year is telling

| Anyone else think Loubser is quietly cursing Eccles and turning the side around? If we'd been relegated, he could have skipped off into Hockey Land citing "underfunding" and an "owners refusal to employ good quality staff', but instead finds himself having to plan for another season playing out of the white elephant that is the Cherry Red whilst paying for multiple other training facilities>
End of Season Dinner will be behind closed doors methinx.......gone are the days of people booking overnight accommodation at the Lensbury.....more like "Pie'n'Pint" night down the local spoons

Without a shadow of a doubt the gold lounge will be in there. I wonder if they might also take the opportunity to finesse fans into all the volunteer roles they had lined up.
2nd prize - unique match day experience (translates hand out team sheets)
3rd prize - meet and greet with players (as they hand you their used kit to wash).
4th prize- get to go on the Plough Lane hallowed turf ( and put up the posts)

I am in absolute awe of how far the club have fallen......absolutely in awe.
Is it safe to assume that there will not be an awards dinner this year? It clearly states in the sponsors brochure that a table at the awards dinner is available for the main sponsor to BUY....how will our Global Travel Partners cope without this glittering black tie event in their social calendar?
A buffet.....a Q&A session and a chance to buy players shirts that went unsponsored all year......I paid £10 for Jamie O'Callaghans Quins Away shirt one year.....but that was just at a gathering after the last home game if the season.....no £20 or naff buffet back then, but an awards dinner at the Lensbury Club on the Thames.....think it was 2007. How far has Hughes dragged the club down that it is now essentially a husk of what it was just 15 years ago?
It's criminal.

To be fair, Hughes seems to have a think for inept African administrators...I see Worcester Rugby Union are now teetering on the brink.....he really had the anti-midas touch that fielding supremo ...lost fans by the thousands at sixways whilst there and Scottish Cricket is in a tailspin thanks to his guidance.
