We're approaching that time of the year again where @Kevloaf finds whatever weird game to play that selects our yankee managers, the hamster one will live long in the memory, but before that we need to find willing volunteers who want the responsibility of picking a yankee that pays for our retirement.
The more volunteers the better, Kev's selection game will be more entertaining.

4 x daily yankee managers
1 x main yankee

It's been a bit of a thing to have newbies do this but i'm not sure how many new members we've had join in the last year, so let's say newbies and anyone who hasn't previously been selected.

Same process as always (well nearly always), once a yankee manager has been selected a thread will be created for suggestions and discussion as happens in the monthly yankee threads, a deadline will be set for selections and the managers post the final four horses, then we watch them all win and we get drunk.
So please get volunteering, I think Kev will be spinning a wheel or finding hamsters on Sunday...

New ish member. Been in the background watching from afar. But happy to have a go at day 2 if the admin deem me fit to do so. Sorry for my tongue in cheek user name. 🙄😉

OK thanks.
What generally happens in all volunteers go into a hat and Kev will draw the managers randomly so you could get chosen, and if you are it could be for any day….

Understood. Happy to throw my hat 🎩 into the ring. 👍🏻
 
I’m obviously not new but I’d quite like a shot at this if there’s a spot going. Organised the monthly Yankees for years before my somewhat unceremonious dismissal from that role.. and would like a shot at one of these. My final FJ Yankee ever being on my terms so to speak.

Better yet.. it’ll be four winners.

Lack of interest?

I was hoping more of you had spacehopper balls 🏐🏐


I count only 3 actual volunteers?
and @Middle_Of_March "final ever?" not sure I agree to those terms :ROFLMAO:
 
Could be a cracking time for a lurking member to come in and introduce themselves
 
Never had the honour, happy to give it a go if no newbies want to step up. Stick me in the hat/wheel!
