Oh how I love the sense of humour to be found on this site 😂

Northstandveteran you may find most of us have a good sense of humour, football is full of good humour, but you show a total lack of respect to a man who has given 110% for his club, I reserve my humour for the opposition. Especially those in yellow and green!

I think you'll find unfortunately those in yellow and green are pi55ing themselves at our relevant situations....

Good servant and great captain, probably deserves to have the dinner to honour him but saying that I still feel he's been fairly poor this season with the odd sprinkling of better games. I can still see him starting games next season and should be interesting to see how he gets on in a lower league.

Well deserved too.

He may not be the best player on the pitch but he is certainly fantastic off the pitch. His help to youngsters (letting several live in his annex) must be amazing for them. He must have hated this season but has had to remain positive all the time.

I am so glad we have extended his contract and can see him being our manager in years to come!

He deserves respect due to his total commitment and loyalty to the club. Remember that for all too many of those games he was played out of position at right-back. He will be a huge asset in L1 next season.

The annual awards dinner should be cancelled. No disrespect to Chambers or anyone else, but no one should be honoured or given an award for what is essentially a complete failure of a season. We will be relegated, there are virtually no positives.

Instead, the club would be better to scrap the event and ask the sponsors to donate the money to local charities.

For anyone that has met him, he will give you his time and is honest with his opinions. Not our greatest Center half, but he is one of the nicest players I have had the pleasure of speaking to. He will be good for the youngsters next season and hopefully lead us back up !

Very well deserve. A great captain as well as role model for the younger players.

It is good to see him being honoured, 300 games for the same team is an amazing achievement in the modern game.
However, despite the passion and great leadership OFF the field, his performances this season have lost us several points directly and contributed directly to our position ( Reading home game at fault for both goals ). For his sake he should be moved out if the team before his reputation is tarnished further. Fir those of you who harp on about how he gives 110% and is a great leader etc... well loads of on here would give 110 % and some would be great leaders / motivators, however we would just not be good enough on the pitch..... just saying.....

300 is a lot of games
Unfortunately captain of Mccarthys proper blokes & instigator of hoof ball
This should be a charity event because he has been giving out gifts all season

Its a classic case of managers and coaches picking the character not the player. The idea that he will be fantastic in League 1 is pushing it. Some speedy young forwards will have him turning like the QE2. Maybe the new masterplan that PR Paul keeps referring to will involve him in some other capacity.....like not playing?

What on earth are we rewarding this guy for? His 6 years as captain have basically been the most unimaginative,negative, boring and least successful years this club has ever had. Don't forget he's also captained us to League one. If this is to be praised then we really do set ourselves some unbelievably low standards at this club!

Luke has had to shoulder an awful lot this season with the number of management changes we have had. Think perhaps this has taken its toll on him at times this season but the arrival of Collins has made a difference even when not playing. Well done Luke for 300 games for us and I will always remember him punching the Norwich badge on their corner flag when he scored there last season. Think that his new contract is to also take on a coaching role, which will probably be announced at the Award Dinner or when they finally produce the Season ticket prices.

i'm not going to come on here and say that Luke Chambers is a great footballer because i think we can all agree and i'm sure he would say himself that he is not blessed with a massive amount of skill but what he does lack in skill is a massive love for this club you genuinely feel it does hurt him when we lose, he has done a massive amount for the club and the youngsters, and to play 300 times for the club especially in this day and age is quite frankly worth celebrating, you can also see that he is now trying to play football there were a few times especially at Bolton where he came forward with the ball and passed to a team mate not just get the ball and hoof it so i really think PL is having an impact on his style of play now as well and if that is the case then in league 1 we have a player that will hopefully come to the fore and help us get back to the championship at the first attempt

Some very small minded ,ungenerous human beings masquerading as supporters here !
LC continues to serve ITFC exceptionally well ,and is far from the only player who has suffered from a truly disastrous Manager being appointed !
The direct result was that as Captain he without doubt had to shoulder a number of quite unexpected and needless burdens ,which he did with wonderful tact , and distinction !
Good man !! Congratulations !!

I just don't get the hatred towards Chambers from some on here. He has played more than a third of his career for Town. Yes he may not be the best we have ever had but he is all blue and gives 100% every game.

Some on here obviously never learnt the meaning of 'respect'- and the problems of such increase by the day.
There for all to see that care to look around themselves, everywhere they go.

Some of these posters would not be satisfied if we had Messi - and they'd criticise him if he had more than one poor game per season.

We are what we are - no more, no less.
