NSC Jumps the Gun with a Sports Personality of the Year Vote

[TheBlueAndWhiteStrips]

Wiggins for me, stunning achievements this year. There are most likely dozens of contenders that could win and would win any other year. But what Wiggins has done is breathtaking.

Brad but many other options are possible

 

[Albumen]

If it's a public vote Wiggins doesnt have a chance against the faces of the Olympics (he seemed to be quickly forgotten). Remember it's a popularity contest and Mo is the highlight of the Olympics.

My choice? Wiggins (but I misread the poll and put Mo - doh).

 

[The Modfather]

its got to be the toughest year ever for Sports personality of the year, but I am going for Bradley Wiggins

 

[Cosmic Joker]

Voted for Wiggins as well, the historic and gruelling nature of the TdF win followed by being on top form for Olympic Gold a fortnight later are too big to ignore along with the element of celebrating his career achievements in his greatest year. Other than the named three, Ainslee, Hoy, Trott and Kenny should be strong contenders.

 

[Brownstuff]

Bradley Wiggins
For winning the hardest race in the world and being the first British to do
In addition now won 4 gold olympic medals
Closed shop even though there are many many other worthy winners

 

[Gazwag]

With the public in charge it will probably be Wayne Rooney if he score a hattrick for Man Utd in the last week of November.

I think they should cancel it this year and use that show to celebrate the achievements of the 62* medalists.

The rest can be put into a 15 minute section after the news.

Brett Mendoza. If it wasnt for him there would be no olympics and most impressive of all he kept really quiet about working up there as well.

 

[skipper734]

With any right think amongst the voters, Wiggo would get it for the TDF alone. The Olympic medals are just a bonus!

Tooting Gull

As much as I've always enjoyed reading his contributions on NSC, I don't think Tooting Gull should win it.

Gutted, thought I might have made the shake up with a speedy bike ride to the shops this year. Some people are too easily seduced by TV glamour.

Excluding Albion's inevitable promotion procession to the Premiership, 2013 looks fairly nondescript.

So next year you've got the chance to inspire a middle-age generation, Tooting.

As long as the bike panniers hold out.

I heard on Radio 5 earlier they were discussing dropping the single award and just giving it to Team GB as a whole....I like that idea

I like that idea too
I mean they'll certainly get "team of the Year" - that's a shoo in but they've all done brilliantly and I don't think anyone can be singled out
After Wiggins won his gold I thought he'd be certain to get it after winning the Tour de France as well, then I thought Jessica Ennis (quite a lot I'll admit !!) then Mo Farah. You can't dismiss Ben Ainslie either

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

I'd go British Wiggins over Somalian Mo.

 

[Stat Brother]

Well I'm going to put my tin hat on.

Hmm, the medalists have done brilliantly, but not sure you can reward the whole of Team GB, especially in the Athletics. There were way more finals without British representation than with. Should we really reward failure like that?

 

[Gwylan]

I'd go British Wiggins over Somalian Mo.

If you put it like that, shouldn't it be Belgian Wiggins over Somalian Mo?

(Wiggo all the way for me - even before the Olympic gold)

 

[Notters]

Got to be Wiggins though I think it's a pointless award.

 

[Marshy]

Ennis will get it in my opinion, and the award

 

[Return of the Rev]

Should cancel sports personality and have GB team AWARD INSTEAD
