'B' is for Big Boot which is to be back again next season.
Whilst it's a bit of fun it is very clear that nobody is ever going to achieve 10 out of 10 catches, hence, the prize money is never going to be won and as it accumulates the failure to win will become more serious and painful. Surely it is time to change the rules such that, say, the best score at the end of the season wins the available accumulated total at that time or if this is too complicated the money at the end of the season goes to the club charities.
Life can be unpredictable, so eat your pudding first!

I seem to remember this subject being broached with Cockers at a supporters evening and his response was something along the lines that this had been suggested to the players but they were not over keen. I hasten to add that this was not in the context of doing it for charity.
Without hope we are nothing, keep the faith, a Tiger for eternity
It's a bit more entertaining than the old place kicking competition. Still little more than a side-event to my conversation with friends. That's all the half time entertainment I need.

It's clearly meant to be a bit of fun. But that is my problem with it. It's not really. The worst groups of people have no chance of even notching up a point and the best can pick off a handful but have no chance of collecting a prize. Is the machine adjustable? I would have thought so. So why not start with a couple of easier ones and then ramp it up. It's no fun as it is. It happens right in front of us hence I guess I am more attuned to it
