This is what I was querying above. The statement does suggest that it was 63.5% of the FA members that participated in the vote. And 36.5% were not there to vote either way.
When Adam Lowthorpe was on Humberside a few weeks ago he explained that the committee looking into the name change and making recommendations is made up of senior members of the full FA council. This is why he said the recommendation was almost certain to be accepted.
Just more proof of how useless, incompetent and corrupt the FA are, a proper shambles of an organisation. In fact in convinced those 36% of votes were bought. There should be an investigation.
Just hope this is the end of it and the Club can move on. Would hate it for it to distract from our performance on the playing field next season. Please Mr.Allam...I love you....but let it go now.
That didn't take long then.... BBC Sport ‏@BBCSport Hull owner Assem Allam confirms he will launch a formal appeal against the FA Council's verdict to block his proposed club name change. Mental. Give it up ffs.
Hull City Official ‏@hullcityteam 34m REACTION TO FA DECISION: The Club will not be making any comment on the outcome of today's FA meeting http://bit.ly/1oMcRVn #UTT Where did they get that from?
I want this **** out of my club as soon as possible. Can't you just put a pillow over his head while he's sleeping Ehab? (The views in this post are my own and are of no way involved in those of the CTWD movement. Carry on.)
Sky are reporting that there is no appeal, all he can do is demand that the votes are counted again, he's going to embarrass us again.
It probably worked with his ballot. "Recount them, but bin a few out of that pile. Bin a few more & count them again - we won"
It's more than constructive. It's all good bringing down the wall but who's gonna clean up the rubble?
