Supporter of the Season

May I ask all Margate FC Supporters to suggest & nominate who THEY feel should be Margate FC Supporter of the Season Sponsored by UBLOW. Unlike last year when I alone choose the recipient, I would like nominations from fellow supporter (you can nominate more than once and you can choose yourself). If you don't wish to go public with your nomination please message me with details. If you are nominating a person with a nickname, please please also supply persons full name, and most importantly why they should be considered. Once I have collated these names then I will offer to the ballot.

A Supporter of the Season, is not necessarily the ones who go to every home & away match(although some may when voting decide this is the right reason). Consider who makes you feel good about supporting Margate FC, are they someone who has a good debate and very passionate or someone who is quiet but just as passionate about our team. Do they make you smile and feel good, do they lift your spirits when you're feeling glum.

 

I would like to start by making two nominations

 

1)  The Swinnock Family. I would like to nominate all 3 as a single entity. Their relentless attendance both Home & Away is fanatical. Even when the driver (Dad) is unavailable (Mum) & Alan travel by Train. The knowledge of players and football not just from Alan & Dave (Dad) is jaw dropping. But get into a discussion with Mum (Lesley), and she is so knowledgeable and offers a very good opinion about tactics and players. The Swinnock Family are true Margate FC supporters. Through ups & downs they are always there. 

 

2)   Terry Scott some say the nosiest supporter at Hartsdown Park, others just say passionate. Never has a bad word about any player or performance. (Although some players she does drool over more) On the few times Terry travels away, she always makes sure the "other enthusiastic lads" behave themselves and act in an acceptable manner. Terry not only coaches the youngster, but also runs a Ladies session on the 5s even if only a small hand full show. Always friendly toward supporters and great smile, she always makes me happy when I see her at the matches.

It's Waffle time....

I am now drawing a halt to nominations, however let me explain a little. Last season as you know UBLOW Ltd independently (due to extreme short time scale) selected "Supporter of the Season", and hopefully the majority of supporters agreed. This season I wanted to open it out to other supporters for their nominations. Not knowing the best way to go about this I thought I would try this forum and social network. I have received 12 nominations. This for this season, I think is enough.

So I will not be opening to any more nominations. This does mean that those who do not have access to these forums will not have had a chance to nominate. Something I will think about and try and rectify for next season.

What also became apparent is that some of the nominations were for UNSUNG Heros, those volunteers who put a lot of time and effort in for the benefit of the Club, either MISA people, Coaches of the young, or others who may not support the 1st team but who are just as important. So UBLOW Ltd  is also sponsoring an "UNSUNG HERO OF THE SEASON" award. So some nominations will be eligible for both awards, eg you could have an UNSUNG hero who could also be supporter of the year. Next seasons nominations will allow supporters to nominate for a specific award or both.

Finally remember the recipient of either award is representing everyone who supports our club in every way, and should not be chosen just on "mates", but really as a "good egg". 

Very shortly I will list all 12 nominees and list which category they have been put it. Each voter again on the forums will have a chance to vote for "Supporter Of The season" & "Unsung Hero Of The Season".
