What he said

 

[Caveman]

Best Poncho's?

 

[Sid James]

Music to our Chairman's ears, we are a Community Club after all...

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Both community-centred awards would be brilliant. As indeed would one. More ammo for the cause. And well deserved also

 

[Dave the OAP]

...and whist we are at it...what signal does that send out to the rest of the league when MK Franchise get nominated for awards?


Oh and wickes

 

[eastlondonseagull]

Was a bit pissed off by the Wickes connection, myself, but it all still shows that our community work is exceptional.

Well done all involved

 

[SJ's Love Monkey]

Well done indeed

 

[Barnet Seagull]

Please let us win both - would be great for the community.

 

[Napper]

excuse me but were wickes directly involved in the goldstone farce. Thought archer was just on their board and has since sold up ?

 

[Kent Seagull]

Archer sold Wickes years ago if I remember rightly. Their sponsorship money is a good as anyone elses these days.

 

[Soul Finger]

'Best Kit' is hardly in the same league as 'Community Club of the Year'.

Our community scheme is absolutely vast.

A huge pat on the back to all involved.

If we win it, does Archer get to present the prize?

 

[Superphil]

Wickes is no longer Archer.

DK refused to allow Wickes advertising boards at Withdean until the little twattwattwattwat sold Wickes
