    It would appear so
    The ‘not lending to a friend’ bit in T&Cs is irrelevant

    It’s the requirement to carry photo ID and give permission to the Club staff to check your details at any time that is the issue (EDIT - I removed an obvious, but inappropriate, comparison)

    My old (proper old) man has just emailed me his email he received from the club regarding his vote & instructions to do so.

    He’s never been to a game, never bought a ticket & has only ever bought minor merchandise for my old Mum.

    Strange one.

    EDIT: Just spoke to him he thinks he got it because he signed up for the commentaries last week, for my Mum. He thinks it’s funny as **** as he’s never set foot in the Stadium & has no desire to.

    This reminds me of a film (or a book), whereby a government/president was voted into power in a surprise victory. When the opposition delved into the details of those who voted for this person, they were real people/names, but they were all dead! Perhaps Ehab has bought an old Census and is going to use their names and vote for his favoured option ;)

    That is not how it comes across. They have stated there will be spot checks - and this point was made in a very sinister manner which was totally unnecessary.

    There is a hell of a lot of twitter replies to the clubs tweet about the new ballot, basically telling them where they can shove their new ballot. I certainly replied to them and told them to shove it where the sun doesn't shine.

    61 responses, universally negative, many censored due to swearing.

    Unsurprisingly, they've un-pinned it from the Twitter page now.

    I agree, but to tackle them and be sure of your ground you really do need to second guess their response and how plausible it would be. Other clubs have spot check, etc in their T&Cs, it is simply the Allam way to flex their muscles. I might be wrong, but I don't believe they are deliberately attempting to sway the vote, it is simply the way they think, they have the power so express it. It's what makes them ****e owners. Do you honestly think that all of those policing measures will be exercised? The implementation of the stated prices is also highly unlikely. It seems to have been forgotten this is still a ballot.

    Oh dear, even Hartlepool. Beyond the fact that you choose to ignore that we have all have accepted that clubs don't enforce those rules (except for problem transgressors) and your whole know-it-****ing-all assertion about all clubs and lower league clubs was utter bollocks, is there anything else you can get wrong? You're right, this was boring and sadly illuminating, but very necessary. You really are an odd one... Done for the weekend, ta... <ok>

    They didn't pin a tweet last time, they didn't email corporate members with their number so they can actually vote this time, they didn't offer a free ****ing holiday either.

    For the record I voted for concessions the first time.
