"I think the lady who spoke about organizing the POTY was taken aback when Iain said he was not interested in being involved if the club wanted to organize it to take place after the Burnley game on the Saturday. She has 12 weeks to organize it, I can not see an of the fans (Fanny) wanting to collect votes etc. The fans could make a total farce of it by voting for TWW."
It was very clear from the fans forum, that Katrien wants the POTY "do" on a Saturday, even though this is patently no good for supporters, who have been to the game in their football attire and would not be able to change for the evening. As with everything she does, this is pure incompetence or damn right deliberate, to discourage supporters from attending.
She also wants to invite the community trust, in order to dilute the amount of supporters there and in doing so, prevent/reduce any negative comments that would be coming her way.
There is no way she must be allowed to succeed, but she will plough on regardless.
So, on this basis we must not let the event happen as it is NOT what the supporters want. It is the supporters POTY.
On this basis I strongly urge all supporters to vote for either Tony Watt or someone else, in order to make a mockery of the event.
If the POTY "do" goes ahead as normal, then I retract the above.

Shouldn't this be one of the events the fans boycott if it's organised by the club? That would be very embarrassing for them.
However you think you know best and want to change it. What a shambles
Kat, you are the weird one, not us.
2nd Place - Roger Johnson
3rd Place - Marko Dimitrovic
Clubman - Tony Watt
Young Player - Dr John Fraser
Treating the award seriously in this circumstance would be to support the regime.
Vote 'Non of the above' for POTY
They would probably hope we boycott it, so they can cancel and blame us, but I don't think it should be boycotted.
I think we should say absolutely nothing on here about any plans for it.
Anything else makes a farce of our stance about supporting the players.
Any good players we have left will feel alienated from the supporters, which cant be good.
It will also be divisive between supporters.
I certainly could not support a vote for someone who did not deserve it and if this is backed by CARD I would seriously consider my position.
Vote as normal for our chosen POTY - in my case Stephen Henderson - but boycott the 'do' if there is any charge to attend. If they bizarrely put on a free event, cos of not selling any tickets/tables, then we attend the presentation, wearing black and white and pointedly not spending any money in the bar.
Support the team not the dribbling-mad, piss-poor, bad-taste circus of grotesques currently running the thing (deeply and quickly into the ground).
