A joint honour for me this week! The Hero of the Week Award goes to everyone involved with the Sutton United Supporters' Trust launch day I know I've done this subject elsewhere, but I'm so chuffed with how well it went that I've decided to nominate everyone for hero of the week. There are three VERY SPECIAL heroes though, and fortunately they all happen to be members of this forum: 1) Stephen...for turning up! Oh come on, he's a Hayes fan; he went all the way to Sutton just 'cos we told him to! 2) medibot... for working tirelessly for 3 hours with no break sorting out kids and raking in money on the penalty shoot out competition 3) martello... Sutton United's emergency stand-in goalkeeping hero *falls off chair laughing*

2) medibot... for working tirelessly for 3 hours with no break sorting out kids and raking in money on the penalty shoot out competition No break OR breakfast, i got there, set it up, started and didn't eat till 5pm, in fact i only got to move for the speeches. If that's not commitment to the cause i don't know what is Not only that but it's a great way to get amber to be nice to you all weekend I even got a hug

I think Sal deserves some special applause too for processing all those membership applications and making the name badges for the Open Day. Not exactly glamorous work, but important. My heroine! Swoon!!

You tell 'em Botty! I came on here expecting people to be waxing lyrical about a Hayes fan mad enough to come to Sutton for a couple of hours on a Sunday for anything, let alone another team's open day, or praise for an insane Eastbourne Borough man pretending to be an ex-Sutton 'keeper (*adjusts halo*), but mostly the deserving accolades afforded to a dyed-in-the-wool Amber and Chocolate fella who went without all sustinance to make sure kids could pay 50p for the privilige of either a) having their well-struck penalty saved brilliantly by a sadistic ex-Sutton 'keeper, or b) seeing their weak but well-positioned spot-kick creep in past a 5 foot 9 guy who had only ever played in goal for his school (primary that is!) - depending on whether they took their penalties before or after the speeches! ;D
But no! They are falling over themselves to praise Amber. Hmph. Ahh well, when in Rome.... ;D

Hah! Call yourself a journalist? There's a spell check button on this forum, you know. "Sustinance"? "Privilige"? But no! They are falling over themselves to praise Amber. Hmph. Ahh well, when in Rome.... ;D Well? Go on, then! ;D

Hah! Call yourself a journalist? There's a spell check button on this forum, you know. "Sustinance"? "Privilige"? Hmmm...you know sometimes you get that feeling when you come to type or write a word and you realise you've never had to write or type it before...that's the case with "sustenance" - to my shame I didn't realise it had that first 'e' in it until I looked it up I think I assumed the root was something to do with 'sustain'...still doesn't explain my initial spelling! And as for not spelling "privilege" correctly...I'm not the first to make that mistake but it is a schoolboy error for someone who prides themselves on having a decent grasp of the English language Ahh well...I can consider myself suitably admonished. Now get back to praising Botty, Stephen and myself, damn you! ;D

A former English teacher writes...
Sustain - sustenance. Think maintain - maintenance.
But I confess that it took me a long time to get "privilege" right! ;D

The hero of the week should be me for selling all supporters club newsletters, i think boyblue will agree with me.

I was saving an extra special amber hero thread for a certain day.
I shall leave it hanging tantalisingly.
