Post your own Tinpot Awards here, they can be anything you want that describes Tinpocity at it's best as you have followed football through the season.
I start you of with:
Most unpronouceable name to score a hat-trick:
CAUSEWAY UNITED 3 FRIAR LANE & EPWORTH 3 Att: 35
Matt Richards 40, 81 Tangeni Nghishidimbwa 4, 15, 43
Ben Stretton 60

Haha!
Most tinpot excuse for not selling chips at the tea bar
Corinthian Casuals: "If we turn the fryers on, the power'll go off in the rest of the ground and we need the floodlights on."

I suspect it was
Our attempt to hand out match vouchers post-abandonment
Our game v Horsham was called off after 35mins when the water level went above three feet (How high's the water, Momma?). Not only was there confusion about whether we should refund money or not but the vouchers that were eventually given out were handed to fans so indiscriminatley that several passing groundhoppers mananged to get several.

Not tinpot as such but a notable occurrence, i went to see East Preston v Horsham in the Brighton Charity Cup and as Horsham netted the first goal the linesman was felled by a stone thrown from outside the ground. However as we'd all been watching the goal go in we all thought he'd croaked it. I suppose it would come in "Panic of the season" or something.

I'm pretty sure they were actually joking ChocPink (no doubt bored of explaining that they just weren't on) but it is was a brilliantly tinpot excuse

Could this actually be a genuine Corinthian-Casuals fan?! If so, welcome to our forum, sir (or madam as it may be). I assure you, that was what was said! The bloke may or may not have been joking This leads me to Tinpot colour combination of the season which may be cheating as it was actually a pre-season game, but Corinthian Casuals in pink, brown and sky blue taking on Chessington & Hook in all maroon really was a sight for sore eyes

B/ If it was said anybody who took it seriously needs their head examined. c/ Generally we do not sell chips our fans preferring cucumber sandwiches or Cavier to go with the Pimms. C/ They were not our real colors which are Chocolate and Pink Halves with Navy Shorts and Socks.

The shorts we wore are old ones and possibly have washed out A little.

I've never seen them anything other than sky blue, which has been the official colour whenever I've looked, but you're the boss!
