Trig- calling Kitey 'they', rather than 'he', or if in doubt 's(he)'. Mr P is remonstrating with me for being boring, so apologies all.

Panorama proving you shouldn't believe everything on the BBC ,not for the first time.

Pads I don’t even know what I’ve done there 😅😬 Please feel free to educate me and I’ll try to avoid repetition!

Absent voting, i.e. giving a yes or no when unable to attend is absolutely fine. Giving your vote to someone else to use as they see fit needs to be tightly controlled if not banned. A maximum number(6 perhaps) for any one person to control would seem a compromise but still leaves technical problems (How do you know when someone already has 6?, How do I inform the meeting I have been given votes by others?)

Trig my dear, your use/abuse of the personal pronoun does my head in in the same way as a bookshelf of volumes arranged according to colour!

I disagree with the whole concept of proxy votes as it undermines the whole democratic process and puts unwarranted power and influence in the hands of another individual, usually the chairman. At a push I could accept somebody naming a friend or family member, as long as the number of proxy votes they are given is limited to, say, 5, but nothing else. Having a chairman with more proxy votes than the actual number of people attending a meeting to vote was ridiculous.

Agree Wu and I think you’re right about the former. It’s not if they exist but how they are used for me - as Proxygate is not something anyone wants to see repeated especially when it’s something as crucial as a new constitution.

I presume the former.

If supporters have actively opted to allow an individual proxy vote then that is surely their decision and to be respected. If their vote becomes a proxy by default if they don’t vote themselves then that is much more of a problem in my opinion. Which is it?

I would like to see proxy votes got rid of. People need to read the question and make their own decision without direction from the DTB.

The DTB Chair has not to date replied to or acknowledged my question about whether they will use proxy votes then it comes to approving the new constitution.

Players went down and were sh*t I remember that much.

Was is boringwood where a few went down with the shits dodgy burgers ?

Boringwood vs shots on dazn good game so far

Last year our November form was the reason we got into the playoffs.

If Reading can beat Stevenage tomorrow (unlikely, but you never know…), we could technically go top on Saturday (also unlikely, but you never know…) 😬

OI/Kite - both true, but that’s not how the discussion began… 🤪😉

Gooner top of Prem and Champs Lge; is this their year (at last)?

If RK makes enough money through their equity portfolio to close our funding gap then they can post what they like. Buy some sell some it’s all the same to me…

RK-stop boring the rest of us 😀

This forum would be dead without non football topics.

I was just explaining movements in markets

Finance isn't politics a4e.

The politics posts are so so boring - why can’t we just stick to not doing them? 🤷🏻‍♂️🥱

Anyone that's been in equity markets past two years has done very well. Rumours for some time now, that US markets are over-priced and a crash is likely. The Sage of Omaha is said not to be buying equities for time being
