Steve works very hard to ensure transport to every away game with no financial reward but often with grief from some fellow travellers. As a user of this service I can endorse what a good service it is and to acknowledge the great job Steve has done for many years for travelling fans.
Yeah, many points to Breedy for his work with the TC. If we had the money, I reckon the club could do worse than offer him a few quid on a consultancy basis. He must have a massive pool of knowledge.
I have just had an idea.
One thing we could have and we could do it on this site is an award for Torquay fan or Staff member. They don't have to be members of this site.
This award is to recognise the work that some do to make our football club what it is. Sometimes maybe it's the ground staff for working under severe conditions. Sometimes it could be a director if he excelled in something. I could give some examples but I am sure you know the sort of thing I mean. Other times the award could go to someone who does something that benifits the fans or a particular fan if another staff member or fan goes beyond the call of duty.
Monthly nominations could then be put up at the end of the season to see who wins the overall award for the season.( by Overall, I don't mean a pair of Overalls either you daft lot).
Can I suggest one to kick it off right now
Please can you put your hands together and give a resounding round of applause to Steve Breed who has held the mantle for some years now and run our coaches sometimes under very trying circumstances. Steve is my nomination for Member of the month for April and because it's close to the end of the season and only One other member of the month can be nominated. It should be a two horse race between two really deserving members. So next months must be someone really special to take the seasons award away from him. or maybe we can hold it open to be included with next season.
What do you all think.
oh no I can't believe i asked some of you to think,...
