    Why OLM? What happened last night?? :D

    Seriously glad I didn't spunk 42 quid on last night after deciding I'd rather go to Stoke. I'm still really annoyed about the game.

    On this subject, I hope we get the results sooner rather than later, and I hope we can start to rebuild as a club and fans and move on together.

    Up until this season, the company I work for had 20 Prem Club passes (we now have fewer than that).

    I am sure we are not alone...

    Main stand sponsors get free match tickets, not free passes.

    They can of course purchase passes/boxes separately and may have a combination of all of the above.

    Surely the way the club have ran this ballot, will do more harm than good to the Allam's cause ? The FA will be monitoring what is happening won't they ?

    Of that I have no doubt. They will laugh the ballot out of any proposed legal proceedings that Allam puts forward.

    This is also what Supporters Direct think:

    Despite the club initially advising they would respond to our questions within 24 hours, they are now telling us that they will not be responding at all.

    This ballot's been a farce from start to finish.

    Did they give any reasoning as to why they are unwilling to answer a series of quite straightforward questions? Which would reassure supports of ALL viewpoints?

    Apparently, nobody tells them how to run their ballots.

    There's still a chance they haven't found anyone daft enough to agree to be the official adjudicators yet.

    I have never taken part in a ballot before in my life that was as hard to vote in as this one.
    I thought the club were emailing season ticket holders ?
    They haven't emailed me.
    Not everyone can 'scan' and return forms via email or whatever.
    Or can everyone get to the KC midweek to vote.
    Interesting to see the gates from Walton Street to the KC are locked closed, for the first time that I can remember, so no-one can actually drive direct to the KC.

    ****ing disgrace.

    No doubt the usuals will be outraged at CTWDs temerity to call for a fair poll and ignore the obviously bent way this is being done.

    Lots of people haven't received the email, we're getting loads of complaints on Twitter, five of the CTWD committee didn't get it.

    My daughter and son-in-law, season pass holders also didn't get an e-mail. It's an absolute disgrace. I have just listened to Ehab's interview with Burnsy , how the hell they became multi millionaires is beyond me. I was always a No voter, but like many I now want the Allams to go.

    We haven't received e-mails either, I'm starting to wonder if anyone has. What a farce!

    I hope the FA have been informed by CTWD.

    The FA are not interested, they also think this ballot is a farce and are simply going to ignore it.

    But we are shortly going to be encouraging people to contact the Football Supporters Federation with their concerns about the way things have been handled.

    I think the owners are now under serious scrutiny and folk will be keeping their powder very dry. Sanctions are almost certainly on the horizon, unless some common-sense takes hold within the club.

    As for all of you season-pass holders, if you find the ballot unacceptable, you really should just work with it. <whistle>
