Plenty of time in the future.

I love the idea of 2 levels.

Legend should be a very, very, very exclusive club, with perhaps one person being inducted per year... max.

I've been reading some selection criteria for various HoF's in other sports. Basically, there doesn't seen to be any hard & fast criteria a person should meet. People are nominated and a vote takes place. Fans do the nominating and a board of (usually) journos do the selecting.

That raises the question of what our process should be. Should we open up the nominating to everyone but only a select group of people do the final selection?.... or we just open it up to a general vote and whoever gets the most votes gets inducted?

My preference (at this stage) would be to form a HoF board, consisting of about 10 CCMfans.net members, a few YA active members, some media, like Mike Kmet and Ray Gatt (and others) and a couple of club reps. All nominees are put up for consideration by the board and the board decided on an annual intake of 5 (or so) inductees.

What do you think?

Journos, CCMfans.net members?

You've got to be kidding.

And it is Mick not Mike.

I call him Mike.

No, I'm not kidding. I'm just throwing ideas out there. I'd appreciate constructive criticism in return.

You'd be the only one.

If you get ten members from this forum you would have five votes for Matty Simon, four for Glinch, and one for Gumpy.

The majority here would not have seen a game in V1.

If you want the criticism to be constructive, here it is:

Wait until the club is at least 20 years old before even suggesting a Hall of fame.

You underestimate your fellow forumites. Sad really.

Not a fan of a HoF? Fair enough, your opinion has been noted.

Back to the question of nomination and voting... any other thoughts on my previous post?

That raises the question of what our process should be. Should we open up the nominating to everyone but only a select group of people do the final selection?.... or we just open it up to a general vote and whoever gets the most votes gets inducted?

My preference (at this stage) would be to form a HoF board, consisting of about 10 CCMfans.net members, a few YA active members, some media, like Michael Kmet (thanks AM) and Ray Gatt (and others) and a couple of club reps. All nominees are put up for consideration by the board and the board decided on an annual intake of 5 (or so) inductees.

I'd love to hear alternative models

I agree with AM. IMO a hall of fame inductee needs to be someone who has proven to bleed yellow. Only one person comes close and at this point and even then wouldn't be guaranteed. Lets make inductees really strive for this. Gumps, Mile, Glinch, Ryan and Wilko should all be commended for their service, however as history has shown have jumped at the opportunity to further careers/earn better coin elsewhere. Although they may have an affection for the club, their pursuit of other glories rules them out of legendary status here (at least until they decide to return). 10yrs service to the club is a minimum.

. in reality that is too harsh as far as i am concerned ... you will be lucky to ever have anybody inducted ... and if you do it may only be because they simply weren't good enough at their job to achieve more

. just out of interest ... who is your only person that comes close?
... based on the criteria being set my guess would be browny

Not a popular answer on here for whatever reason but Hutch would surely be the prime candidate.

. and therein lies the conundrum:

• most appearances
• captain of inaugural championship side
• 10 years service next year (first and only player)
• but not exactly a crowd favourite
• not the most talented player
• and had a loan spell in china
• which would have tested his 'loyalty' had he received the permanent transfer that many believe was the reason for the 'loan spell'

I do not believe that people coming to CCM know that we sell OS. I would not discount on the grounds of loyalty for people going OS - only to other HAL clubs.

possibly too harsh, but my point being adding someone every year from now on when we are barely 10 year old discredits the achievement. This was a suggestion above.

Person i had in mind was John Hutchinson. However had completely overlooked Browny. Another potential candidate.

The point re moving OS v HAL club - i have no animosity to those who further their career overseas to greener pastures and actively follow their careers as a proud fan of CCM, however IMO those greener pastures come at a cost. That cost being hall of fame status.

... i kinda figured hutch was the one you had in mind - which is why is suggested browny considering all the criteria mentioned in here (me being not one to stir or anything)

I am a fan, but not yet. Maybe in about 20 years.

"To be considered", not guaranteed a spot.

This is a bit harsh. How do you know any of this?

No need to be a condescending prick.

This is bullshit
