Oldham (h) 5 May 18
1st: McWilliams(3pts)
2nd: Grimes (2pts)
3rd=: JJOT, Barnett (0.5 pts each)

This reflects the most consistent performers over the whole season on a match by match basis; Grimes in 3rd, McWilliams, Crooks and JJOT in 4th, 5th and 6th respectively, although Clare Balding in 2nd causes concern and is probably the reason for our subsequent relegation.  Nice as she is, we would prefer it if she is nowhere near the top of the POTS this time next season!
However, far and away the most consistent player over the 2017-18 season, as voted by The Hotel End supporters, is Ashton Taylor.

Earlier in the week, I contacted Ashton to inform him of The Hotel End POTS vote results and he responded with the following:

“Brilliant, thanks for that! Absolutely delighted with that, I’d just like to say thanks to every single fan that has voted for me and welcomed me to the club from day one.  We have a fantastic set of supporters to support the club the way they have this season, especially at times when it’s been difficult!   
Hopefully next season we can have the same again but give you more to shout about!  Thanks! Ashton”

Excellent and very well deserved!!

A little gutted for Balding to be honest.

If any season deserved Balding as winner then this was it. I'm sure she wouldn't mind being sandwiched in between Ash and Grimes though

I'm gutted for myself. I spent all last season shouting "Kick the fecker Ashley".

The fact Powell picked up 4.25 points in 29 games speaks volumes. Get rid!
