For about the first couple of seasons, SW19 used to do an end of season poll to gauge what the SW19 readership thought of various things. How the season went, what direction you thought the club (WFC) was going in at the time etc etc.

It was a tiring exercise, not only for me to compile but for people to complete. Basically, I gave them a Word document with a load of questions and asked them to fill it in, and return it to me. It was quite primitive, cumbersome and it's perhaps not that surprising I only got about 50 responses every year I did it. Because of this workload, and the whole AFCW/WFC/Franchise shebang, I gave everyone a much deserved rest ever since. Nowadays of course these sort of polls are dead easy to do....

I've decided to keep the minor changes in format the same as they were originally published. Apologies for any spelling mistakes anyone made at the time.

Some of the responses, all of them genuinely held at the time, are absolutely amazing when you read them today...........
