Fair shout. If you do a count then under current rules you forfeit any chance of points that week

I definitely agree with points awarded for a count I did a helluva lot last season (as did some others) all of which we missed out on points.

at least 2 points ...although I would advocate 3 minimum for the counter.

Claretmisterg · Post by **Claretmisterg** » Mon Oct 02, 2023 5:26 pm

Thank you all very much for your consideration in the matter of awarding points to the marvellous individual who undertakes the glorious task of counting the foodstuff.

Without the kind attention of said counter the quantities of the various foodstuffs would remain forever unknown and the unexplained side effect of motivating the performance of the mighty clarets on the football field would never be released.

Having therefore undertaken the requisite due diligence it can be announced that henceforth (and retrospectively from the start of this season) the counter of the food shall be awarded 3 points for each counting performance.

In subsequent seasons this decision can be reviewed by the counter who undertakes the task of maintaining the counting points.

I will post an updated points table in due course.

Hopefully encourages some new counters

Claretmisterg · Post by **Claretmisterg** » Mon Oct 02, 2023 5:49 pm

So the counters so far have been

11/08 City (h) - Claretmisterg
27/08 Villa (h) - Croydon Claret
30/08 Forest (a) LC - BigF
02/09 Spurs (h) - Eloise Laws
18/09 Forest (a) - canalsideClaret
23/09 ManU (h) - Claretmisterg
26/09 Salford (a) LC - Dawlishclaret
30/09 Newcastle (a) - BossCat

Awarding 3 points per counter per count gives
Claretmisterg- 6points
Croydon Claret- 3 points
BigF - 3 points
Eloise Laws- 3 points
canalsideClaret - 3 points
Dawlishclaret- 3 points
BossCat - 3 points

So the points table now looks like this

1st
BigF 18 points

Joint 2nd
ClaretGeorgina 13 points
Claretmisterg 13 points
jdrobbo 13 points

3rd
Croydon Claret 12 points

Joint 4th
Charlieinnewmexico 10 points
Eloise Laws 10 points

5th
Cabbage 9 points

Joint 6th
addisclaret 8 points
BossCat 8 points
Cubanforever 8 points

Joint 7th
canalsideClaret 6 points
claretblue 6 points
Rick_Muller 6 points

Joint 8th
bcfg 5 points
Foshiznik 5 points

Joint 9th
BossCat 3 points
Brucefanclaret 3
CunBuntru 3 points
Dawlishclaret 3 points
giveusaB 3 points
green_parrot 3 points
tarkys_ears 3 points
what_no_pies 3 points

Going forward I will allocate the counting points when I update the table. So claretburns will receive 3 points on Wednesday.

Up the Mighty Clarets.

Up the Mighty Clarets.
