Guess what happened at the AGM.
I'll give you a clue.
How the f**k Clifford Slade, someone who hardly anyone in the room had ever heard of, can get 44,886 votes more for than against, when the likes of Derek Jones can get a net vote of minus 10,400 and Barry Ward minus 19,000 is beyond me unless something dodgy is going on.
When the groundswell of support in the room and on the terraces is so far in favour of one group I cannot see how Mr Boddy has had a net vote of +29,704.
The best bit was to come.
The voting rules said the following:
If there are more than 12 persons with more yes votes than no votes, only those first 12 persons with the most number of yes votes will be elected.
Now, 13 people had more yes than no votes, the 12 supported by the board alongside Martin Pinches (Who despite being the club's main sponsor for the last 4 years, and paying for a number of advertising boards around the ground, did not have the support of the board) Probably on the basis that they fdon't like talking to people who disagree with them.
...
the """votes""" were as follows
Jon Prescott: for 43,741 Against: 37,773
M. Pinches: for 44,478 Against: 44,311
When challenged the chairman changed his mind and decided it was the net vote and not the most number of yes votes
Then again, we knew the result before tonight anyway.
