Is low 30 percentage vote on a turnover of not much more than 50% ever a genuine mandate. For Labour? For the Tories? Or for Reform?

Tories/Labour/Lib Dems have all got us to where we are. In the shit.
Most people become more entrenched in their views as they age and less open to change as the world changes.

Money, it's a gas. Share it fairly, but don't take a slice of my pie.
With the twinkle in your eyes I bet you could tell some stories Pads :-)

It seems odd to me though, OI, that as we in a way extend people's childhoods by educating them for longer we lower the voting age. When we were children most people would have been at work for five years before they reached the age of majority.

Like me, you probably 'came of age' by statute. Not the same as a special birthday. I felt quite cheated.
Any age for voting is arbitrary, maybe 16 year olds will think about their vote more than some 46 or 76 year olds.

but politics is always self serving, Reform suddenly don't have PR as quite an important part of their offering. I can't imagine why!
Thanks Stu! The people who run the club comms are paid professionals, there is no excuse. Those on behalf of the board who are managing comms are supposed to have come with expertise, like the self proclaimed communications guru himself, Kevin Rye.
I believe James L is also a content specialist and the fact the DTB also stated in the meeting summary “The board also discussed both internal and external communication of the announcement and next steps” shows what an absolute shit show the DTB has become.

Don’t believe I have ever criticised volunteers such as yourself and others that put time and effort into the club with little or no fanfare. However those who are elected or take positions of power without election are fair game in my book.
I think Labour may be in for more unintended consequences, Spit. If you see statistics re the different age groups attitude to democracy it's quite alarming. They are foolish to think the kids will all vote for them.

Votes for 13 year olds in 60 years time?
I understand the challenges the club with Comms, but I don’t think I have ever said they are great? I just don’t feel the need to constantly go on socials and being rude about people volunteering for the club in the best way they can.

I think its a shit show personally on the DTB at such a important time, but thats as a collective board and not calling out individuals which seems to be the norm nowadays.
Good point about the DT Kentie

Flattered that you’re missing me JaW. I am still around and started my 2025/26 Stadium Tours yesterday so back doing stuff already for a season that has come around so quickly

What do you want to know from em with me being so quiet?
Fair enough, Kentish. We've lost interest too. I haven't even kept up with this latest thing about John Green. Sick of their performative political nonsense too.

Lost interest, Pads. Used to be interested for nuggets of info about new projects (esp. at Plough Lane). But - and I think this gets to the heart of the current malaise - the DT has sort of served its purpose by successfully overseeing the return home. As we are a football club, our overarching strategy is, and must be, the Championship. And that's not necessarily best achieved under the current ownership model.

I don't think Craig Cope can possibly understand how much we need an at-least-semi-decent new signing today.

From the highs of Wombley to the lows of proxy.
nick - I seem to remember Angus appearing at a meeting and posting updates for people. I remember also being grateful for them because Kentish, who always used to do it,wasn't there that evening. A few weeks later he was complaining on here that the club were ignoring his emails offering to volunteer. People on here encouraged him to persevere and we got what we wished for😒

My hope is that because what happened at *that SGM* prompted some to stand for election because they didn't want to see that happen again* then maybe some who were on the cusp might go for it this year and we'll have another go at breathing some fresh air into the board. Against that, there is a growing sense that it doesn't really matter so why bother?

Ah ok, Angus was the fans sgm fiasco, so two fingers point still valid then!
JAW, my perception of Stu is that he does call the club out on stuff on here , I find him fairly balanced and he’s always honest.
That said the club has been absolutely shocking with comms this summer, they really don’t care. Stu in fairness was in agreement about that but maybe it was on x or insta.

Aideen, it was Michelle as chair at time of the VONC.
Despite multiple examples to the contrary, Stu is usually on here saying the club and DTB do a great job of comms.
