    There was the same issue, but at least for that one your vote applied to however many seats you had, so I got both votes automatically.

    If the vote has been rigged. Evidence has to be given. Otherwise it will just be said that it’s fake news!

    If the vote has not been rigged evidence has to be given otherwise it may be fake news.

    Did anyone ever get to see the name change ballot details? there was talk of some independent company doing the vote (or something like that)

    I don’t know, but the only people who ever seem to make statements about votes being rigges are the ones who votes was on the losing side.
    If a vote is rigged and evidence is produced. I will be amongst the first to condemn it.

    Strawberry were the ones who came up with the membership scheme, but i don't think they had anything to do with the name change vote.

    Well i am questioning the integrity of the vote before voting has ended so my side hasn't yet lost. Just how can I produce evidence? all the information is in the clubs hands. Many questions were raised about the name change vote and there was talk of some form of independent controls, what happened?

    I've posted this before, but of the 8 people I know, all family and close friends, I was the only one to receive confirmation of my vote.

    I could be lying of course and I can't prove it. You only have my word.

    How would you expect evidence to be obtained?

    Last time, the very fact that there was such a lack of information and no transparency, combined with the fact it was controlled by a proven liar with an obvious desire for one particular outcome, was the very reason to suspect it was rigged. Frankly I think you'd be stupid to believe anything other than that that one was a complete sham.

    For this one, club staff are giving strong verbal assurances that it'll be completely honest, but of course with Ehab's track record it's hard to believe.

    of course the first vote was rigged - even the questions were rigged - one option was Hull Tigers with continued ownership of the Allams and the other option was stay as Hull City with the implication that they'd be gone - which incidently they haven't - the Corporates were forced to vote Hull Tigers otherwise they wouldn't be corporates any more and any paper that said Hull City where the voter had written on ' with the Allams' was deemed spoiled and ignored

    anyone who suggests the first vote wasn't rigged is clearly a stupid **** and anyone who thinks this vote won't be rigged is a stupid **** too

    I wouldnt put anything passed them, it wouldnt surprise me if all the wishes will be lumped together so if the vote for concessions finds in favour of the status quo the Allams will once again claim it's just the minority that want change and therefore refuse to change anything else as well such as the ' branding' because that's what the silent majority want

    If the name change vote was rigged, then that was the worst rigged vote in history. Usually a rigged vote produces the desired result for the person rigging it.

    What was the result of that ridiculous name change vote? I can't for the life of me remember.

    Edit: Ignore that, found it

    "A total of 2,565 of those eligible voted for the change, to 2,517 against.

    Of the club's 15,033 season card holders, 5,874 responded, with 792 voting they were "not too concerned and will continue to support the club either way

    Those in favour voted "Yes to Hull Tigers with the Allam family continuing to lead the club" while those against voted "No to Hull Tigers"."

    They'll probably hold back the result until after the Villa game. Especially if the result is to continue as it is.

    It's a shame they didn't include the bit about the Allams staying in charge on one of the options this time, that would have made everybody's choice easier.

    If the post below is right, they did win the vote.

    Note that the post below will now be above.

    It should have been an independently verified vote from the start

    Voting on the official website ? That is complete bullshit , I'm surprised the trust or somebody else hasn't made more of it

    So why, is your organisation supporting it?

    I question a poster stating fact, are you backing that post, are you actually saying that given Egan’s track record this vote is rigged. If this is the case when does Burnsy or Matt Dean get the interview?

    It was a complete pointless exercise, due to the nature of the question, the FA just ignored it.
