That would be interesting DO as many of the longer term members now get free membership and I wonder what proportion of them would bother to pay again.

Surely if the DTB is struggling to get sufficient turnout, they just need to reverse the free-DT membership for next season and the constituency is hugely reduced in size?

Delano McCoy Splatt joins Yeovil on loan

Naz-re the 50 year anniversary probably not s it’s the old club. Remember when we played Weymouth in the cup one of our staff rang Weymouth to tell them to not make any reference to previous meetings so they had to resign large parts of the programme

OI - it appears to be just a version upgrade required. I've emailed Bert

OTD - is that really Ian Cooke? Or an AI enhanced Ian Cooke? I would drop the enhanced OTD pix. Is there a way of cleaning up the original without changing faces, adding legs, increasing the crowd size etc? At the very least show two versions.

Does it look like a major recoding issue or just an updated version fo a bit of software Jon?

DOWNTIME WARNING... We've just received an email from our hosts warning of a vulnerability on one component of the system. If requested, I'll have to shut down the GB until we can sort it.

In my experiences with the boards to date I’ve seen a few people with express that sort of attitude. Surprised to see it from you though.

Stu - I hear you. My instinct is the same as yours, but we're just out of road on influencing the board's make-up or behaviour.

Voting Yes because the DTB have presented no other option again is mad isnt it? I get we are custodians of the club and we need to be good owners, but that also means we have a DTB that brings us along for the ride.

Exactly - in an ill thought thought effort to drive self congratulation they may well have shot themselves in the foot.

With the extraordinary decision to give away trust membership for ST holders i doubt we'll get a 50% turnout if we do the n 75% yes vote is a very high hurdle to overcome.

I think your summary of things is exactly why the club needs to accept financial failure to rid it of the people involved in the ongoing running of things who, it could be argued, seem to have alternative motivations than making this a successful football club on an ongoing basis.

The trouble is yes or no, whatever is delivered has the whiff of no confidence in the people to deliver upon it. Sadly they have proven themselves as a collective ( not all individuals btw) to see a shit show happening and not read the room. Apart from those that stood down/ sought re-election or decided that they'd recluse themselves from the ballot when there was clear misguided meddling of the election, in spirit and with dubious advice and misplaced loyalties to members of the ESG, nobody comes out looking good. In meetings, those public faces, there are a few standout performers that can take an audience with them, yet for the reasons above, they lack the moral compass to demand that the election was stopped and fair play was seen to be done. I hate with a passion being a critic of volunteers, absolutely hate it. That however doesn't excuse the stance they've taken or abuse of power they yield.

Almost everyone I spoke to about it are not voting unless it goes to the second vote.

I don't love it, let's be clear.

Trig - I don't want the club to go under or out of the league. I didn't vote on it a year ago because I thought the prospectus was dishonest. I think the new one is more realistic. I have fundamental problems with the approach of the board, but over the last 18 months, various efforts have been made to address this which have all come to nothing. We are stewards of the club and have to be pragmatic.

17th June 2027 will be 50 years since were elected into the Football League. I wonder if the club will do something to mark the anniversary.

That is a quite disappointing attitude nicander.

tbh all, I am likely to hold my nose and vote in favour, simply because we are out of time and have no other options that the board will present. I think we have a basic responsibility as owners of the club not to take it under, and I think (all noise aside) that is the likely outcome otherwise. Will it help long-term? Possibly not. Do I trust the board? No. Do I find they go out of their way to play games and look shifty? Bafflingly so. But we cannot change them and here we are.

Karen their values appear to be pretty poor values to have as well.

That’s not good reading, Mr L

I am sitting in the non-voting camp having previously been a yes voter. Too many emails, tells me things need a closer look. The Independent Football Regulator and introducing compulsory Know Your Customer check has contributed to that decision, since The response on discord has confirmed the board didn't know the impact.

That seems to be the best option Slough. And I think they can see that they’re not going to reach the threshold hence pieces like that.
