A slight glimmer of hope....it has been agreed for a one season trial only 2016/2017....i cant imagine this season can be stopped now ,as a democratic system is in operation and the member clubs have actually already agreed to it.  

However;

Completely boycott the competition for this season. That means every game, every ground, every round. No fans, no income for the clubs.  That will kill it. Worst case, one season, thats all.  The fans do have the power to influence this, we just have to stick to it.

Name and shame those clubs who did vote yes.  I would think a freedom of information request may be possible to reveal the vote, that is if the league dont publish the minutes. Anyone savvy with making such requests ?

Apparently Championship clubs didn't get a vote, so to pass it needed more than 24 out of 48 clubs voting yes.

Judging by the lack of noise coming out of BP, I think we can assume which way "we" voted. I say "we" because it looks like, quite obviously, none of us or the Trust were consulted. I hope I am wrong and it was GTFC "no" vote.

From talking to the chap who runs the club's twitter account, it seems the office staff are in the dark over how gtfc's representatives voted which explains why there hasn't been any kind of official statement yet. Bit disappointing that whoever is in Portugal hasn't felt the need to keep club staff and supporters back home informed, but if it's Fenty over there voting for us then that's no real suprise.

The petition is doing the rounds on FB.  Most Trust Board members have signed it including those currently at the Euros. Please sign and share the hell out of it...

Oh and whilst you are at it drop the Trust an e-mail stating your unequivocal opposition...


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

Didn't someone say it was all done last year which if that was the case we were still in the conference and wouldn't have voted.

I would go as far as to say that if we find out the Dear Leader voted in favour of this, then there should be a putsch to depose him from his position at the club and get someone else to be Chairman.  

No-one can doubt his enthusiasm and determination to get us back in the league, but as a football administrator the man hasn't got a clue.  No doubt we'll be treated to another interview live from Zsa Zsa Gabor's boudoir telling us why the arrangement is in our interests, but unless it transpires he voted against, I'm afraid it's time to be rid of the man.

Does anybody actually know if GTFC got to vote or are we just guessing? We are back in the league by how long surely the decision was made before we had that AMAZING day back in may? Utm

Of course we did - the vote (& debate) was held yesterday, as confirmed by statements released by some of the clubs who can hold their heads high and opposed it.

All quiet in the Fenty household - I'd be releasing a statement before your silence digs yourself a hole you can't climb out of.
