The Dixies. What are our thoughts on this?

Is there one for the best ref? Otherwise known as the whistling Dixie?

Sounds like a country and western band.

Jimmy Martin playing washboard, Bill and Suntan Bob playing fiddles (allegedly) Mosh on snare and tambourine.

Meh

Also the fact he hated that nickname because of his tanned skin!

Yeah the Deans may have been a better name.

The award itself looks nice.

I'd rather we won something before giving awards out

A bit of fun that brings more good publicity for the club. No more and no less than that.

 

[Yorkie89]

There would only be two players for us this season that deserve any plaudits and that's rom because if he goals and gana for the work he has put in all season

 

[DanEFC92]

It beggars belief that the club have been talked into calling their annual awards "The Dixies".

Everyone knows it was a racial epithet and certainly Dean himself knew it and hated it.

This club sometimes. Mind boggling.
