Chuck Berry Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Last night I went to watch the game at Westfield which I thought was the div 1 title game so why didnt the league present the winners with the correct cup rather than pass them off with the fair play trophy. I'm sure those at fg are not impressed and all the press photos have the wrong cup in them. That was part of fg history only to be fouled up by the league. Goes to show how important the league saw this game and div 1. Absolute disgrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loop Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Would it still be in Guernsey!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian M Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Apparently Guernsey took it to Windsor and it is still there. Windsor is not far away so surely someone could have gone and picked it up ? To be honest the presentation was poor, some bloke walked on and gave it to our captain and walked off. Really think the league could and should have done better.

I reckon there may have been a bit of green eyed monster involved, you only had to take a look at the ref they sent to see that lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaHPhotog Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I have to say I was really surprised and disappointed that the league did nothing decent about the presentation. Our Chairman at Westfield had huge banners made for both teams that said promoted and then a sticker to go over the winners one so at least Frimley had something to show they'd won. That was paid for by our chairman too and not the league. Speaks volumes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielpjn Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Extremely poor from the league. Guernsey played Windsor on the 1st April. Surely one of committee could have arranged for the trophy to be collected. Nice gesture from the Westfield chairman. Great club,who helped us out when we first joined the league by switching a game,due to our pitch not being ready. I remember discussing their plans for the ground that night and it's nice to see it all come to fruition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaHPhotog Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I was worried abut taking the photos before the game because you never know if the players are up for it. Im glad we did now (and after) given what a pigs ear the league made. Can you imagine without the banners? We'd have just had that by walking on the pitch with the wrong trophy going "here you go" and skulking off. FFS I'm really peeved about it now.

TRS Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Classy gesture from Westfield to provide the banners. Enjoyed my visits to Westfield this season and they will be a welcome addition to the Premier, fabulous set up. Great pictures Lisa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubby Brown Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 The league should be ashamed. Just goes to show the type of people running the CCL....time for some fresh blood with new ideas, might volunteer my services (I'm sure that'll go down a storm). The current committee seem out of touch and stuck in the dark ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRS Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Fair play to the league in scheduling the game as they did. I originally thought it may have been a dead rubber, but turned out to be a vital fixture if not a particularly good game (fabulous goals excepted!). Pity the presentation was a bit of a let down, but i'm sure Westfield are grateful for the 400+ crowd that turned up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Berry Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 Our chairman also provided 4 bottles of bubbly for each side as well Check it with Steve but from what i recall coming into the ground with Craig Fennell the fg President and his nephew, Craig brought 3 bottles of Moet for the winners and a half bottle as a joke for him and Steve. They then both gave Craig's nephew £20 each to get the Cava. I was there and was part of the conversation. So Craig was the biggest benefactor in this round of giving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look forward to doing it all again next season. Lets hope it is a Westfield v Frimley Green for promotion next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 As someone who's always been more substance over style I don't get the big deal. They've got the wrong trophy but who cares? It's hardly iconic like the World Cup or FA Cup is it? I am sure the players of FG will take solace from the fact they have won the league and not concern themselves too much with whatever tat they may have had in their hands at the time of victory. The game itself was very cagey to start however I thought FG's extra attacking intent and willingness to retain the ball was rewarded in the end. I have seen very little of the CCL1 this season but from what I have the best team won it. I would think both FG and Westfield will be more than fine in the CCL Prem. I cannot comment on MV as I've not seen them. Congrats to all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
