Hi Sam (Soccer Sheet) just to say thanks for answering my question to you on Discord around distance and how you will understand the fans frustrations with match days if not there yourself. Your answer was very good however unfortunately on Discord I couldn't reply back to say so as it doesn't allow the person asking a question to come back once an answer given whether agreed or not. Unfortunately on this instance I've already used my votes and went with just one candidate in Simon Hood as feel he's the only one willing to listen to members and challenge members based on his manifesto. Hopefully if he gets enough votes the DTB will realise how the membership feel about having a democratic election instead of being dictated to on who we can elect. I wish you all the best Sam but personally feel we need a board who here to understand the issues as we seem to have a lot

Doobs you once asked me if I was single, so I'm not surprised. I do think you were tipsy.

So do i vote for uncle Sam and Hoody?

Discord, plenty of kids use it sums up the shit show!

Sorry, but it was ambiguous and I read it as about me. Another problem with this as a medium.

You know perfectly well that I didn't mean 'thee' Martin. I was speaking of the club in general, as I am sure everyone else reading here understood.

JAW - tbf I haven’t said I do or don’t back anyone, just how I see proposals working.

I didn't propose Martin this year and I won't vote for him. I did propose him last year and I believe in secret ballots.

Thanks Geoff. As they're all election related I have said I will not comment.

Thanks Ninja. Appreciate it.

Martin - You have refused to engage on any issues to do with "alleged keep quiet or resign order", "ESG appearing to use unapproved rules", "unelected ESG feeling able to judge past character" and "attempts to stop ex-DTB members from posting on certain issues". I could ask them again about a hypothetical voluntary organisation.

TBK once again a condescending moral,you are assuming that people who post on here have a absolutely no idea about social media or platforms without knowing anything about most of us you really are a prick, and I’m so glad your children think its acceptable to laugh at people who post on here

If your own proposers don’t back you then why you think anyone else would is beyond me.

Thank you Alan

Totally agree Sam. I read your manifesto and found it wonderfully positive. I hope you get elected so you can go in with your eyes wide open and witness what many good people have witnessed before you. It’s not fair of TBK to question their courage for resigning. Too many have done and it needs someone courageous to change it. This year there just aren’t enough left on the ballot.

But shouldn't resort to throwing insults..most unlike me

I had to be very careful not to annoy the mods too, Ninja. Very hard not to swear.

Once you start barring candidates from standing the whole electoral process is fatally undermined and might as well be ignored as anyone elected has no legitimacy, hustings or no hustings.

I retract my statement about TBK...I was just flippin' annoyed

Martin you've still not acknowledged or answered the question posed to you by Shane (12:41) or Paddington (13:46)

TF - No offence taken.

If it’s so useful TBK why are only 8% of members on it!

Yes, Martin, that is the problem. You have been happy to take our money for years, to see nothing of the work many have put in, and have now insisted on communicating with us on a platform that we find insecure and difficult to use. Just call us legacy supporters and have done with it

Jeez Martin you ok hun?

I am particularly impressed with the calibre of the candidates who have, in part stood up for a rival who has been clearly denied an opportunity to stand and be judged by his peers. Whether or not you agree/like his musings, his right to stand should never have been sanctioned, without evidence and a hearing to qualify that decision.
