POTY Awards

Huge congrats to Harry 'one of our own' Clifton for winning the Supporter's Player of the Year award tonight, among others.

Mention to Evan Khouri too for winning the Supporter's Young Player of the Year award. Really hope to see him featuring more regularly next season. Think he's got a big future.

I get Khouri's potential but not sure he played enough to warrant an award, but that's just my opinion Andy Smith should have got that.

Inclined to agree, i think Smith has been solid all season and by far the most regular feature in the team of people eligible for young player category.

One thing i think Evan winning the award does suggest though is that the fans are very supportive of him and his development, which can only be a good thing for the lad, and for PH.

Smith should have been in running for main award a class act that we will struggle to replace complimented waterfalls game

Plenty of players leaving immediately after, or during the next season, but not all heading up the leagues.

For me, POTY by a country mile was Luke Waterfall.  If Harry wasn’t a Grimsby lad, he wouldn’t have got it.

Though I don’t agree with your choice I do agree that being “one of our own” helps.

Everyone entitled to their opinion, but Harry is our top goal scorer, scored some important goals and has had a great overall season. I think it’s disingenuous to suggest it’s because he’s a Grimsby lad. If that was true he would’ve won it before….he’s been a mainstay in the starting lineup for years now.

This. Although Ive seen Grimsby only play twice this year Waterfall has always impressed and   reminds me of Grimsby's answer to Terry Butcher. Real warrior and I feel more so than Harry.

I don’t think anyone is questioning Harry’s season. There is a trait in the local area that we look after and favour our own, I’m quite proud of that. It’s not uncommon in costal towns or remote places.

It also manifests itself in the phenomenon of us calling for ex players to be managers and at every window in the last 6 years talking about Bogle coming back🤔

That's your opinion ,and it's wrong.

My opinion is that you'd try to start an argument in an empty room.

Err, excuse me, it was toontown started this, all I did was post my opinion, he decided to tell me it was wrong, so don't blame me pal.

Highlight of my week then 👍

Jesus... I ask the question again ... How old are you lot ?

Jesus... I ask the question again ... How old are you lot ?

You know how old I am, it's in the How Old Thread, however you won't be able to find the 3 who decided to attack my simple opinion, as all 3 of them haven't disclosed their ages in that thread!

I thought this might be a thread congratulating the POTY and talking about what a worthy winner he is. It's a complete excrement show.

He is by far and away our best and most consistent player. Hugely missed when he's out of the team and consistently improving.
Plus he's our top scorer.

Well done H

So that is your opinion which I disagree with, in my opinion Luke Waterfall has been the most consistent and a superb Captain for the club this season.  Note that while I disagree with your opinion, I am NOT saying it is wrong, like toontown said about my opinion.  Also calling this thread a 'complete excrement show' is a gross overreaction.  If someone told you that you was wrong in a thread, would you respond to that?

Edit:  I think you meant to say JOINT top scorer.

Well done . Earned it and has an engine room most players would love to have

Average age on here is about 60+   i think

I give Harry a lot of respect in this area. Looks after himself it seems which gives him that engine. Dont like to hear story's of players that drink to excess . Football is a short career and people need to sacrifice to achieve potential .

I look at the likes of the original Brazilian Ronaldo .Once he stopped playing he ballooned up which was sad to see. Nice to see though he has gone on a diet to improve his health.
