Before we get into the awards, on behalf of the staff at FF, I'd like to thank those members who take it upon themselves to run games and features on the forum. They are a big part of the forum and your efforts are appreciated and definitely don't go unnoticed. I won't list individuals as there are quite a few, but each of you know who you are so thanks to each of you.

And as with every year, we would like to thank everyone who contributes to discussions on the forum. Everyone has a part to play in making this the place that it is!

And finally thanks to those who've sent votes in this year. We finished with 32 members voting on some or all of the categories which isn't a bad effort at all.

Here's hoping 2020 will be a prosperous year for us all

 

So onto the nominations for the first category.......

And our winner....

TOMOHAWK (6 votes)
​

Joining in January last year, Nottingham Forest fan Tomohawk has seemingly fit in well enough to win this award. After talking a lot of shit about how great Forest are (they've won the European Cup you know?) in the Championship forum, he went on to run the the popular FF's Greatest song of all time thread last summer which also saw him propelled into the mod team and sees him claim a maiden award!

 

And we move swiftly onto the nominations for the

Deluded User of the Year

Runner Up - David Bird (3 votes)

But even more deluded than newbie David is......

johnnyT (6 votes)
​

Johnny manages to go one step better than his runner up finish in 2018 by becoming the most deluded member of 2019. It was a big year for everyone's favourite Evertonian as he went beyond 10000 posts (as we all heard about) but it appears that his nature of standing his ground with regards to beliefs such as the earth being flat, Boris being a good PM and Everton being a great football club have lead him to this award.

 

We move away from members for a couple of categories now starting with.....

Best Forum

Runner Up - Championship (6 votes)

It wasn't to be for the popular Championship forum but it was for our winner......

GENERAL OFF TOPIC DISCUSSION (8 votes)

The place to go to escape the world of football, it has been the making and the downfall of so many. A place where literally anything goes from debates about religion, to discussions about watches and a race to a million posts in a thread. Most importantly though, it's home to threads where people can discuss their deepest problems and in turn receive fantastic advice from many forum members. A deserving winner just for this!​

Runner Up - Stan and Rock's Man Cave (4 votes)

So the cave just misses out on an award in its first year but what takes the crown....

FF's Greatest song of all time (7 votes)

A thread of epic proportions which came to life on 1st July and ran for 6 weeks into the middle of August. We were treated to a musical feast by all that took part with 258 songs appearing on the list which gave us all an opportunity to listen to music that we might normally avoid​

 

Back to members votes now and next is an important one to those of us who who fancy ourselves as a comedian....
