Alan Charlton & Sam Harris have done more for sea angling than Wilson has ever done for any angling so why should'nt Alan & Sam get an OBE or MBE for their efforts.
Lets all e-mail our MP's and get them some recognition.

Don't have to do that simply fill in a form and propose them.
Ok a little more then that but anyone can do it
the only thing alan has done for angling is consume millions of mackerel
nah he does a great job and also sam too i think itv northeast tonight shud have them on the sport part of the news reporting our catches
Sam yes, my voice would send everyone to sleep.
and just to stir it up a bit more, did you know that a good few years ago, or the story goes, Bob Nudd was voted as BBC sports personality of the year, he had more votes than all the others put together. It was disallowed as they said all the anglers got together and voted for him. Is that not what other groups do, can just see the boxing fraternity all voting for a teenis player instaed of Joe Galzaghe.

I can't understand why folk who have a fantastic lifestyle and make a lot of money out of doing something they enjoy get awards from the queen for doing it? It's always baffled me , I'd rather see them go to RNLI crew or mountain rescue lads , youth club organisers , weekend football coaches ........ all manner of things folk do to help others with no financial return seem far more deserving than someone who makes a fortune out of a hobby ?
I watch all the fishing programmes , anything and everything to do with fish , but I don't think I can think of one presenter that desesrves a medal for doing it
Celebrities leave me cold , I don't understand the adulation they get, full grown women and even some blokes screaming because a singer is up on a stage in front of them ????? What's that all about?
Of all the fishing presenters on t.v. I think i like Cyril whatsisname (fishing adventurer) the best , but I wouldn't give him a medal

Hello, I have to agree, Alan Charlton and Sam Harris do a great job and deserve a lot of credit for their hard work, not only in their weekly reports but also in representing our sport when it comes to new legislation and similar threats. I also like reading the reports that Terry Woods has in the Shields Gazzette, a friend of mine keeps the Gazzette each week for me.
Codseeker, I remember when I was a kid every Friday night on the local news, Tyne Tees, there was an angling slot at the end of the sport report. Can anyone else remember this?
Regards Ian.

Angling T.T.T.V.
Angling T.T.T.V.
Hi Ian, it was me that used to put the report on Tyne Tees T.V. all those years ago, that was when George Harrison was the sports editor.
Nowadays it seems that angling is considered to be a hobby, rather than a sport by T.V. and radio, which is totally wrong. Sea anglers alone contribute over one BILLION pounds to the British economy each year, that does not take into account game and coarse anglers who also put a lot of money "on the table"
One of the last few radio stations featuring angling is B.B.C. Radio Newcastle who broadcast a half hour programme on saturday morning at 6 a.m. it's repeated on Sunday morning. It is also available on the internet at any time, the programme covers game, coarse and sea, I present the sea angling section.
Tight Lines, Sam.

Just look at the attraction this thread has gathered and look at the input from both Alan Charlton and Sam Harris. That T**t John Wilson has'nt even bothered to post. Stuck up git cos he has got an MBE thinks he can ignore us now.
I say there should be Knighthoods for both Alan and Sam.

lol, he is funny to watch, has a mental laugh but dosnt deserve an mbe.
they should go to someone how has contributed to something worthy, not just a tv personality. unless he has been doing some form of charity work on the side??
can think of some people that are 1million times more worthy of an award.
why does he never show you the times he blanks on the tv lol, if it was a program following me, you lot would be watching a blank screen with a big ape of a geordie, hissing and cursing until i got a fish!
now that is entertainment lol
