If its in AA's favour it will be announced on the 8th, but so what as the FA council will not go against their own sub committee.
I'd get the independent adjudicator to give out the answers personally (I know the club said they would, that's a different issue, the whole process should have been done independently). Some of the questions were related to the independence of them and also to the blank ballots. The IA with the blank ballots as well is likely to wait until they know how many there were so they can give full comment on the scale of the issue and say how they've resolved it in one go. One of the "blank vote"rs was on twitter earlier saying they'd been told they'd be contacted by Friday due to the number of votes, which suggests there's a lot of email votes. (They should be dealing with those before counting the paper votes, because the blank email votes will need a time for the voter to respond. They can count the completed email votes as they go, but that should definitely be the start point. Oh, and just in case the IA gives out a paper vote/email vote breakdown (I can't see why they would but you never know), I'd expect the paper votes to have a higher rate of Yes votes than the email vote without there being any suggestion of wrong doing. Generally the email votes will have come from more tech savvy people (despite the blank forms) and the paper votes from other demographics as it's more convenient to just print and fill in. As a result the email votes are more likely to come from social media users, and the paper votes from people who've only seen one side of the discussion. It being launched the night before a game might bring a few from the email side into paper votes just because of that convenience.
They won't know who didn't get the email, so can't do anything about it. I suspect that by having the form available to download from the OWS(though it didn't work for much of the time) and by having paper copies to pick up from the ticket office and club shop, they think they have this covered.
Though they announced it immediately before a game, the ballot box in reception was not actually available at the game and anyone who tried to vote in person was turned away.
That wouldve been much simpler. At a match day on everyone's seat there is a piece of paper with one side black and one amber, a la a fan display. At 2.45pm you show black for no to Hull Tigers and amber for Yes. If youre not in your seat it doesn count. It's like a grander version or Red Tomato and Green Pepper!
Only valid of course if Fearne Britton adjudicates, so a lot of it is dependent on her availability. Busy lady, but it's her system and she dominates proceedings, quite rightly.
Not that I make a habit of watching it, but isnt it hosted by gay wannabe Ainsley Harriot? We could get them both down, make a day of it.
You could be right, my data is most likely out of date. I'd be happy with both too. If anything, it would probably just make it even more accurate.
You're both out of date, they stopped making it in 2010. We'll have to get Nigella instead and hold up white 'coke' boards, or black 'no-coke' boards.
So all that remains to see is if its in favour of NO, it's a crappy poll but a complete vindication of CTWDs stance, press release stating CTWD were right all along incoming. But if its a YES or a WHO CARES, it's a crappy poll that carries no authority and a press release from CTWD stating that incoming. Roll on Tuesday.
Well it's obviously a crappy poll whatever the outcome We all know it should have been a simple YES or NO without a third option ( and done right at the start of all this to see what the fans actually wanted )
I disagree, the question has become nothing to do with the name change because of the suggested implications that were designed to make people who don't understand financial matters fear the worst, but the DC option was important. It should actually have been: Not having a DC option prevents you seeing whether it actually matters to people. I'm sure people on both sides can see that a 5% HT, 5% HC, and 90% DC result would have a hugely different meaning than a 45% HT, 45% HC, 10% DC result in terms of how objections to what ever course of action was then taken should be handled.
It will not be a true answer as to whether you prefer Hull City or Hull Tigers because I know a number of people who do not want a name change and would have voted against it but as the questions were really a popularity poll for the Allams they did not want to vote.
