I know what I say will get picked to death with answers of what could've & should've been done but that is honestly how I see it.
I'll say (promise) right now that I will definitely bring this up with the BoDs & Emma (as soon as she gets settled in) for the 2016-17 season with hopefully the Trust being involved as well so we can all make it a better organised event for next year.
EDIT - I'll vote for Danny Livesy (am I allowed...)
Ian,
As already being pointed out by Mark Webb,
http://www.thecrabbiesgrandnational.co. ... tional-day Starts at 17:15 on the 9th April would it maybe better to delay the players presentation until 17:45 to allow people the best of both worlds.

Now put back to 17:45pm Mark & Mark.

Cook or Livesey, both played well in what's been a funny old season. Most improved goes to Simon Grand, got pelters (deservedly) early on but has been pretty solid lately

Very unlikely the real winner will be announced as the actual winner imo.

Yeah, few players will have a Man of the Match/games played ratio that Mo has...

Think it has to be Cook consistent and lead the line when others lacked motivation.
Good job he never got injured.

3 starts, 3 times substitute, 1 man of the match awards, I don't think so.
A more interesting ratio would be in his match starts and substitute appearances how much it has cost the club per game.
Must run into several thousand.

The magnificent Cook will retain the title from last year.

Mo Votes, Mo Problems.
This is it though, itll make a mockery of it when they see that Mo has the most votes because theyve used software which means you have unlimited votes so theyll just give it Cook making the whole process pointless.
Like when we voted for our kits that year. The winner was a pink and black quartered effort and it won, only for the club to say Rugby fans had hacked into it and voted for it. Silly really ever having it as an option if it would never win!

Or a relevant short list with 4-5 genuine contenders would be fine. It just goes back to the whole attention for detail stuff and before someone says we are busy with other stuff there are 100 professional football clubs in this country but many many semi pro which have proper organisational structures in place and accountable staff that does this sort of stuff with ease.
I've defended the new regime time and time and given the benefit of the doubt but Not for much longer.
