Title: TEF Awards of the Decade Post by: Nemo on Monday, December 7, 2009, 11:49:50 ...Or the Noughties Awards, but I don't like the term.
After the success of the top Album poll, I may as well jump on the bandwagon of every other TV Program/Website/Tom, Dick and Harry and hold an overall best of everything poll. Before kicking off the votes though, I need a bit of help with categories- I don't want too many as frankly that means not many people will vote and it'll be too much work for me, but I thought I'd get some feedback on what categories people would like to see. Here's a few ideas of my own, broken down into categories Music Album is obviously already done, but Best Song and Best Band are obvious ones. Perhaps worst as well, as they tend to be just a fun Film Best Film could be broken down into genres or just comedy/serious perhaps. Would best actor or best character be better? as people tend to mean the latter when they vote for the former. TV Best TV show again can be split as the films are, best character is a definate here I think, possibly worst show as well so Simon Cowell can win something. Or Bonekickers, that was woeful. Sport Split this into STFC and non STFC- Best and Worst moments, Best and Worst performer/single performance, biggest Greek tosser award? Culture/Other Best Computer game or something like that? Scraping the barrel at this point Any suggestions, fire away. Title: Re: TEF Awards of the Decade Post by: Chubbs on Monday, December 7, 2009, 11:52:13 keep it simple, no point going down too many sub genres. It will just get messy otherwise.
Title: Re: TEF Awards of the Decade Post by: DV on Monday, December 7, 2009, 11:55:13 I was thinking we should do a top 50 TEF Swindon Town players of the decade.
Title: Re: TEF Awards of the Decade Post by: Nemo on Monday, December 7, 2009, 13:25:13 There is no way that it wouldn't end up with Kasal ranked in the top 3 from joke votes though.
Title: Re: TEF Awards of the Decade Post by: flammableBen on Monday, December 7, 2009, 13:27:47 Who are you to claim that they are "joke votes"? The lad is a footballing genius.
Title: Re: TEF Awards of the Decade Post by: iffy on Monday, December 7, 2009, 15:04:31 Top 50 Numbers from 1 to 50?
My top five are 6, 3, 17, 21 and 44 Title: Re: TEF Awards of the Decade Post by: iffy on Monday, December 7, 2009, 15:05:10 Best Disaster? It's been a big decade for disasters.
Title: Re: TEF Awards of the Decade Post by: suttonred on Monday, December 7, 2009, 16:08:56 Top 10 stfc away games would be good
Title: Re: TEF Awards of the Decade Post by: Spy on Monday, December 7, 2009, 16:11:51 I agree with Chubbs that too many sub categories could ruin it. Here's my thoughts tho...
Music Album is obviously already done, but Best Song and Best Band are obvious ones. Perhaps worst as well, as they tend to be just a fun I think it would be too difficult to pick best songs. You would probably end up with a very split vote too. Plus it can be hard to judge one song you really like against another of a totally different genre. Best bands or male/female solo artists could work I suppose. Quote Film Best Film could be broken down into genres or just comedy/serious perhaps. Would best actor or best character be better? as people tend to mean the latter when they vote for the former. Best actor or best character polls don't appeal to me personally. I'd like to vote in a horror films of the decade poll but I accept that might be not be a widely held interest. Quote TV Best TV show again can be split as the films are, best character is a definate here I think, possibly worst show as well so Simon Cowell can win something. Or Bonekickers, that was woeful. Best character would work better here than in the film category. I think a best TV comedy series would be well worthwhile. Best cartoon series might be good too (altho most of these would prob fit in the best comedy series so maybe not necessary). Quote Sport Split this into STFC and non STFC- Best and Worst moments, Best and Worst performer/single performance, Culture/Other Best Computer game or something like that? All these would work. Something to think about is would all these categories be a top 50? For example do we really want a list of 50 worst swindon moments? Title: Re: TEF Awards of the Decade Post by: Nemo on Monday, December 7, 2009, 20:35:29 I wasn't planning on making any of them top 50, top 3 at most.
Title: Re: TEF Awards of the Decade Post by: Langers on Monday, December 7, 2009, 20:36:35 So we would vote and you would work out the top 3 by the number of votes each has?
Sounds like a good idea. Title: Re: TEF Awards of the Decade Post by: Spy on Monday, December 7, 2009, 20:48:48 I wasn't planning on making any of them top 50, top 3 at most. Oh OK. 3 seems a bit meagre. How about top 10 or at least top 5? Title: Re: TEF Awards of the Decade Post by: Processed Beats on Monday, December 7, 2009, 20:53:20 Im up for top 10's of everything :)
Title: Re: TEF Awards of the Decade Post by: Nemo on Monday, December 7, 2009, 21:01:21 Top 10s of even 10 categories is about 100 things, I'd rather have a smaller amount which is more detailed.
Title: Re: TEF Awards of the Decade Post by: Spy on Monday, December 7, 2009, 21:22:41 But top 3s isn't more detailed. It's broader in categories with less detail.
Title: Re: TEF Awards of the Decade Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, December 7, 2009, 22:08:21 I thought awards were top 1?
Title: Re: TEF Awards of the Decade Post by: Ardiles on Monday, December 7, 2009, 22:35:58 I'm no Paul Plowman - or Reg Smeeton (one & the same, perhaps?) - but has this decade not been one of the most mundane in our history?
I think I'll wait until 2019 and contribute to the next thread instead. Title: Re: TEF Awards of the Decade Post by: Samdy Gray on Monday, December 7, 2009, 22:35:59 A top ten of top tens?
Title: Re: TEF Awards of the Decade Post by: Boeta on Monday, December 7, 2009, 22:54:11
league cup semis in 95, fa cup 5th round replay in 96? Title: Re: TEF Awards of the Decade Post by: Samdy Gray on Monday, December 7, 2009, 22:58:56 Both not this decade...
Title: Re: TEF Awards of the Decade Post by: 4D on Monday, December 7, 2009, 23:08:28 league cup semis in 95? If that was in the last decade (which of course it isn't), I probably would have put that in my best and worst football top ten experiences. Good for the games themselves (apart from the final result), Bad for having to drive to Bolton TWO Wednesdays running >:( Title: Re: TEF Awards of the Decade Post by: Simon Pieman on Tuesday, December 8, 2009, 01:14:49 Football stuff
Staying up in 01 and Oxford getting relegated League one playoffs Relegation to and promotion from league two Giving Leeds a good run for their money at Elland Road Off Field Events Brady promising much and not delivering anything The Carson Consortium Protests against old board Bill Power and the missing £1m BEST Holdings mystery Fitton saves the club Two fine strikers and one judas cunt Parkin Cox Mooney High profile/calibre managers Andy King Roy Evans Andy King Dennis Wise Paul Sturrock Danny Wilson Competition wise it's been more uneventful than you'd expect with a yo-yo club like ours, but so many things have happened on and off the pitch, to call it mundane is wrong in my opinion. Title: Re: TEF Awards of the Decade Post by: Crozzer on Tuesday, December 8, 2009, 01:28:15 Most hated business adviser of the decade? Title: Re: TEF Awards of the Decade Post by: Boeta on Tuesday, December 8, 2009, 10:49:09 Both not this decade... haha, easy mistake to make. Title: Re: TEF Awards of the Decade Post by: strooood on Wednesday, December 9, 2009, 18:17:57 The Wire is the best TV show of the decade, just so we're clear. Forget that category. It's done.
Title: Re: TEF Awards of the Decade Post by: flammableBen on Wednesday, December 9, 2009, 18:20:48 If we do an everything top 10, should the wire finish above 9/11?
And where would the massive growth of Greggs across the country fit in? Title: Re: TEF Awards of the Decade Post by: jayohaitchenn on Wednesday, December 9, 2009, 18:22:16 Greggs is shit.
Title: Re: TEF Awards of the Decade Post by: flammableBen on Wednesday, December 9, 2009, 18:22:57 Exactly. Is it's huge market growth this decade better or worse than 9/11?
Title: Re: TEF Awards of the Decade Post by: strooood on Wednesday, December 9, 2009, 18:30:47 The Wire is below 9/11 and the tsunami but three places above 7/7.
Title: Re: TEF Awards of the Decade Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Wednesday, December 9, 2009, 19:23:50 Don't be silly. Peep Show is the best tv programme of the decade by far.
