I'm not sure if I'd favour trying to compete with Swansea's possession, as I think they're better at it than us, and it plays into their hands. Not pretty I accept, but I'd be much more inclined to go direct and even launch the ball towards the front two, rather than get bogged down in a midfield possession war that I don't think we would win. I think we've seen an erring towards more direct play since Jelavic and Long signed, so that's what I expect to see.
You're very vocal for someone who doesn't even make the very basic effort to turn up to home games. And I don't actually know what the main point is, I read the first two lines of Happy's post and stopped. It's too long. Short, snappy posts are the future of football forums. Let's all try to be concise.
I bet you didn't read it all, it's a right load of pointless drivel, even I gave up half way through.
I do struggle with long, meandering and self-indulgent posts on this forum. My eyes cloud over, start to sting and before you know it, I'm yawning. A few posters really excel in them, and I'm sure they feel mightily intelligent once they've finished them, but it's not a narcissism I like to support.
Strange post. I'm surprised, or am I, that you haven't mentioned our disabled members who may be unable to raise their hand. Anyway to answer your questions. The chairperson counts the votes. If the vote is close the floor usually appoints tellers. If the vote is still too close to call then provision may be made for a paper ballot counted by the tellers. However that only happens if the votes are close. Its not complicated and has served various organisations well for decades. The difference between a poll and a meeting is that a meeting allows debate, out of which the decision may change significantly. A poll is a simple yes or no or don't care. For example some people like the idea of Hull City Tigers as a compromise. A meeting would allow that to be put forward and a vote taken. Assem Allam's poll ignored it. It is usually referred to participatory democracy rather than a plebiscite. When I was growing up participatory democracy was seen as better. I'll suggest that we have photos of the AGM, but someone will have thought of that already. The future of CTWD is up to the members that attend the meeting. If they just joined up to fight the name change then they may say, "I've done my bit, that's it I'm off to the pub before the match for a drink". Some may have done their bit but would like to see who the committee members are to say thank you for standing up for them. Some may be interested in the idea of a new Supporters' Trust and want to get involved. It will be their decision. Same as backing a man that increased our turnover (excluding transfers and parachute monies) by £35,000 in a season when we won automatic promotion to the Premier League is yours. Some may even think we've done a bad job and want to tell us. The biggest mistake they made was not doing a deal with the council. We'd have had another layer of corporate boxes bringing much needed money into the club if they had. They would have had boxes to offer sponsors which would have brought in additional revenue. If the deal had included an hotel they would have had the rent from that as well. Reading make over £5 million a year on average from theirs. That's a lot of money wasted simply because of his spat with the council. When he finds the money to move to Melton all that extra income will go on paying the mortgage rather than on the team. With a little imagination and some start up money Hull City could have the wealthiest supporters trust in Britain. Assem Allam may never talk to us but if we are wealthy enough the next owner will. After all the purpose of the supporters trust is to build the club. Remember Happy, life is sweet if you don't buckle.
This is true. Some posters really haven't adapted their manner of delivery to the demands of the net.
hmm writing an essay doesn't really work on a forum... really it should be made into bullet points. short and snappy.
Has anyone actually read that monstrous amount of bullshit in the OP? Does anyone actually bother reading any of Happy Clappers boring old drones anymore? Maybe CTWD could become a violent guerrilla group, and aim at eradicating boring pro name change cabbages and the FA? I'd certainly join then!
