Will Bassong get a Championship winners medal?

[The Great Mass Debater]

If Watford win the title, will Bassong get a medal? If we go on to win the play-offs, we he be the first player to have won the league and the play-offs in the same season?

As far as I can tell he's three games short to qualify for the medal. He played for Watford 11 times, the minimum needed is 14.

It's not that easy to find a reference for that, I could only find it on the wiki page for the old First Division http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_League_First_Division

Shame, it could have been a funny moment.

Does this go down as a massive own goal in terms of strengthening our direct rivals? Dont forget we sold Surman to Bournemouth as well!

Maybe Grabban is an undercover agent, a sleeper if you will, primed to punch someone in the face at the critical moment handing Bournemouth promotion!

Answer - No!

I take the winners of the play off get a medal of some sort ?

Yeah they do. They also get to lift a trophy at Wembley as well.

Listening to Radio 5 on the way home last night, they said Basso would get a winner's medal with Watford for his 11 games plus obviously a medal from yesterday.  So if you believe Radio 5 that's the answer...

Apparently you need to have played 14 games. And Watford didnt win the league anyway (do you get a medal for 2nd?)

Well according to this it's been lowered to 5 appearances and he will get two promotion medals. Has that ever happened?

Interesting! Glad the decision to loan him out to one of our rivals didnt ultimately bite us on the ass!

Seb actually confirmed that he would get a medal for Watford as well in an interview after the match. He was a little embarrassed and amused by it all.
