May force AA to have a ballet if he thinks his yes men aren't members of any club or forums?
interesting that the number of people not voting (ie not bothered) is around the same as those who voted yes. Is that the only fans' consultation that will be asked for by the FA, or will we see yet another vote having to take place?
The FA have already got votes from the HCSS and the Tigers Co-op(both about 90% against), along with CTWD(100% against) and now the OSC(60% against), they'd also like a full season ticket holder vote, but AA won't allow it, so they FA will just have to go with the fact that the majority are against.

Bernard Noble just ended up looking a right wally on the Andy Comfort show. Despite the majority of OSC members voting against the name change, he's going to represent both the anti-name change members and the pro-name changers at the upcoming FA meeting. What a fudge.![]()
Will he be wearing two different hats and speaking in two different voices?
