Fairly clear majority (unless you are Donald Trump)

Quoted from LH


To put a different slant on it: the new owners who want to ‘build a community’ have managed to split the fan base 60/40 with their first major (needless) change.


That’s what I would call putting a mischievous slant on it. People can be fully supportive and be 100% part of a community whilst having differences in opinion on any given subject.

If they had given us the third option that many requested the result would have probably been one that the majority didn't vote for.

The whole thing has been a farce, it's been concluded now so time to move on.

Great news. Glad 62% of those who voted kept a tiny flag in perspective, saw and understood the benefits and we can all move forward.


What benefits?

If any fans feel so aggrieved at a tiny change to a badge that was put to a democratic vote, so much so that they now feel split/disillusioned from the club then there’s probably no helping them. If it’s not this that they’ll kick off about, it’ll be something else.

No, the fan base isn't split at all.

I like the new badge, but feel it wasn't needed, so wasn't really fussed on the outcome.

Its about opinions, and they put it out there, so the majority can decide.
I see no reason for any fans to argue, or to carry on, when it was done in the fairest means possible

It wasn’t a needless change though. As discussed there are numerous versions of the badge in use containing: different fonts; fish with/without eyes; FC with/without/with only one full stop; equal/unequal stripes and different thickness of piping/lines around the badge.

We finally have a definitive official badge. That needed doing whether you stick a flag on the trawler or not.


So you’re saying it could have been done without the flag in the first place to save this bother?

Rodley: I’ve been negative about the new owners on this issue alone. It’s been handled so badly from the start and they used up the ‘at least it’s not Fenty’ credit they had built up. I am sick to death of people in positions of power in this country making rules only to break them themselves. Doing that triggered some petty statements from club and designer and we had a bit of an unfair vote between something that exists and something that might exist. It’s over now but they better hope results pick up so they can build up some credit.

Presumably the flag is there to make a clear differentiator now of it being the new and correct version of the badge. Without it, would be easy to get confused which was which so there had to be SOME visual element that was subtle but different.

What third option would you have liked?
