To be fair SW, the comment from the League was:
“The Football League Family Excellence Award gives clubs a standard to aspire to when planning their efforts to attract more families and young fans to their matches.
“It is hugely encouraging to see so many clubs receiving the accolade, demonstrating The Football League’s ongoing commitment to securing the next generation of fans.”
Our esteemed owners have done the very opposite of that.

The Tweet you've quoted is also misleading.
The first Tweet posted by the club actually read: "08/05/2014 09:17
We have been awarded the @football_league Family Excellence Award for the 2013/14 season! bit.ly/1hz9hW3 #pusb #skyblues"
The details of the award were also explained in the original article and expanded upon in the updated version.

Oh! Ok I hold my hands up then and say Apologise. Backing down as we speak
To be fair, it shows our status as a pioneering club, a model for others to follow.

According to your version there would be no fury if the Telegraph had not reported it, as we would not have known

Of course there would, but it is cleverly stirring
The story and the reaction was newsworthy. Are you suggesting we shouldn't have reported it?

Again, I didn't say that, it's the way it's reported I guess and then the huge wooden spoon

I think they may be suggesting that a Coventry based newspaper shouldn't be concerning itself so much with a football club that plays in Northampton.
Other than that, I can't see what the problem would be

We are a fucking joke..........
Look at it this way lads, the FL/FA work in mysterious ways, on the face of it they seem quite prepared to shoot themselves in foot. This time it appears to be working in your favour on the publicity side of things. If you wanted your plight made more public then this latest howler from them surely helps. How far up the chain of command this decision came from or whether any thought process was given to it, leaves one scratching their head.

Your talking rubbish Nick, how many families go to sixfields compared to those who went to the Ricoh?
Using your examples of cakes, if one type of cake sells 10,000 slices and the other sells 1000 slices. I don't need to taste them to know the one that sells 10 x less is a load of shite

Yeah! Bet there's secret meetings with Ann Lucas. Oh wait that's just you and Nickovitch.
How do you work out anything that is reported that doesnt favour SISU is automatically in favour of the Council - dont recall any mention of the Council in the article

most people are staying quiet about it for some reason.Plus must people haven't come back treating him like a savour like the trust did are they? Any secret trust meetings their paying members should know about?

How do you know it tastes like shit? I bet mr Kipling sell loads more than a small bakery but the small bakery may taste a lot better. So people who judge cake competitions don't need to taste it?
I'm not questioning attendance differences or the actual quality, just that attendance is nothing to do with quality of the experience in this case.

He's just got the hump because you didn't invite him, he likes to be at the centre of things. Remember how excited he was about possibly being on the stadium group? 'Just my sort of thing', but as soon as he got rejected it oddly became a shitty pro-Sisu bunch of appeasers.
Not his fault really, I get the feeling his Sunday dinners as a kid were fully minuted and the family took turns chairing. 'Next on the agenda we have choice of greens for midweek dinners and healthy sandwich filling suggestions, mother, have you prepared the voting slips?'

It;s OK just I know a lot of the trust personally, they have become good friends over the last couple of seasons some of them work tirelessly for the cause.
But don't really get the honours they deserve. Just get shit from certain posters who look at everything they do strip it down then pick on one part they don't like, just to push there own causes.

Ahh but here you are comparing a large company to a small company, that is like comparing the match day experience of Man City to the match day experience of an Accrington Stanley, you could well argue here that the match day experience of the smaller club could be better than that of the big club. Here we are talking about Coventry at the Ricoh, compared to Coventry at Sixfields.
Think of it as a bakery's sells two types of cakes in his store, one sells 10,000 slices and the other sells 1000 slices. Again doesn't take a genius to figure out which one is better.
So is it the top class facilities, the incredible atmosphere or the the 35 mile journey which makes it such a pleasurable experience?
There is no doubting that the matchday experience has decreased significantly since previous seasons, the award is a farce and anyone who tries to defend the award is either deluded or just trying to play devil's advocate

Look this is a CSI survey. You appoint mystery shoppers (no doubt from the Isle of Wight) and they go and have the experience
They then rate the experience to specific criteria. I've experienced this conundrum for years in the automotive industry. The shopper wanders in goes through the sales experience and rates against specified criteria - were they made welcome, were they offered a coffee, were they offered a test drive. Often very successful dealers who sold thei most vehicles against target do not score the best. This is the same. Its a CSI survey with a couple of shoppers that's it!

My point was, you can't judge a cake flavour competition without tasting it can you? It may well be a cheap store and one is priced 1.99 and the other is 14.99 but tastes amazing. You still can't judge the taste of the cake without trying it, can you?
I don't know what it was judged on, if you read my posts you will see I can't see many reasons they would have got it.

It was judged by some people from the Isle Of Wight. They liked it better than last year. They were not asked to give an opinion on the number of other people in the cake shop or its size.
This is the murky world of the mystery shop.

You don't need to know the criteria that it was judged on

The mystery shopper will only judge on the criteria.
