| John Petrie elected, but has stood down.
Tony Hooper's desperate campaigning sees him scrape onto the Board in 6th place.
Jon Back tops the poll.
None of which matters, since the result has no credibility, no matter how much The Supreme Leader might try to spin it. How many of those votes were cast by children who wouldn't be able to vote in any other election (indeed, if they want to cast a phone vote in tonights X Factor or Strictly polls, they need to get permission from the bill-payer)?
The Board as currently constituted has no credibility.

| I see hooper had the least ammount of votes out those who were voted in, not including the one brought in because of the withdrawl of John Petrie. _________________ I'm one of the common people so says the wife! (A true GSG Girl)

| Surprised by how high the turnout was.
Of course, we have no idea how many 3 year olds voted.
BACK, Jon - 925 Elected SPARKES, Jon - 915 Elected PETRIE, John - 837 Elected SHILLABEER, Edmund - 795 Elected JOHNS, Phil - 701 Elected HOOPER, Tony - 656 Elected
This make Jon the leader of the world, foreshore. |

| So the turnout of 33.02% is deemed to be a triumph whereas the Trust election with a turnout of 44%ish demonstrated apathy. Please explain, Mr President. |

| Excellent points made by both Andy and Dingle but they are by the way now. The votes are counted and the result is in and it all will blunder on undeterred. With the presence of at least one Deep Throater on the inside I give it 6 months before it implodes. |

tony being bottom makes me laugh seeing as he pushed so hard for it |
Quite. From what I know of them none of Back, Sparkes, Johns or Pollock will put up with much nonsense. |

| Absolute joke. Hilarious. Great to see Mr GasBoard voted in in last place with a huge mandate of 15% of the available vote. Someone do the maths to see what % of the 20000 identifiable stakeholders in the club. The comparisons by Chris are laughable one is an election that hasnt happened and again no one wants. Its just Conservative dogma forcing it on us.
And a Deepthroater on the inside. Job done.
Nice to see my vote in the 12. Men, women and children of taste obviously. |

| | Quote: | | I also think another election, now, would be rushed and not necessarily financed by the owner. It is clear the Trust have their own election to organise and run and would they want to run and finance another? Would non Trust members trust them? Probably not. |
A bit of a gem from GasBoard hottie and Trust naysayers TonyChowell. First thing he needs to do now is say whether as a non Trust member whether he trusts them and if not why not? And I wonder why Mr 15% thinks he can probably speak for all non Trust members (would that include kids) or how he arrives at that opinion. |

| Interesting to remember that when the GasBoard farce was first mentioned, Mr Hooper was going to campaign on behalf of season ticket holders. And yet in the event only 15% decided to vote for him. If (don't hold your breath) a valid election is held any time soon it will surely have to include the POTDers - they make up around half of those that bother to watch the games. What proportion of them will vote for Mr 15%. |

| Didn't Lee Jameson say that he wasn't going to be the London supporters representative? I can't be bothered to go through all the old posts. It certainly explains his eagerness to just get on with the election.
Convenient. Mr 15% and someone who has admitted to undermining the Trust by posting under Deep Throat. Is there anyone who hasn't been suitably rewarded yet? President - tick, Directors Box season ticket - tick, position on the PASB - tick.
Simply a disgrace. |

He certainly did. I can hardly believe this sham is going to actually happen.
If anyone was under any illusion that the crap we have seen happen over the last few years on the pitch, and the last year or so off the pitch was going to change, then this will surely burst that little bubble.
Jobs for the boys. Deepthroat rewarded, in fact doubly so because John Petrie had the honour to stand down knowing it was such a huge pile of crap.
Be nice for Lee and Tony to go over old ground together I suppose _________________ IF IT LOOKS LIKE A BEAR, IS BROWN AND STANDS UPRIGHT IN THE WOODS IN NORTH CAROLINA, IT'S PROBABLY A BIGFOOT or a bear.

| Said it before i shall say it again if any of them had any credability they would call for fresh elections and disband now if not they will never be taken seriously and will probably be dissolved before too long.
Massive middle finger up at the trust though from the club and webb |

| And nothing publicly about how supporters groups arrived at their decisions. Nor membership numbers (aside from London Branch I venture lowest numbers than the lowest place loser). Nor their financial position. Transparency my arse. |

I think you'll be proved wrong Jock - it's a poisoned chalice. The real fans of the club won't give it the credit or the respect that it needs to succeed. The voter turnout was low and those on the board will soon find out that they have very little actual power, that the fans, in the majority, don't care about what they are trying to do. Those involved in this will soon realise that it's a complete white elephant and I wouldn't be surprised if we see some early resignations.*
For what it's worth - more a comment on the thread and what some have said in this folder - Chris Webb doesn't put too much faith in the initiative anyway and realises just how apathetic the process has been. Personally, I think it would be better if Chris Webb was given a paid post at Home Park and was given some form of admin support. I know people don't like him that much on here and they're quick to criticise but he's no idiot and he does love the club and he does care.
I'm not sure you can criticise Chris Webb here because all he's done is report about it on the Official Website.
*That's just a prediction too but I'll be very surprised if it doesn't turn out that way. |

Given Chris Webb's day job and beliefs, and given the fact that he promised that by accepting the President's role it would not stop him being just as vocal and challenging towards anything that he didn't agree with James Brent about, I think people have every right to criticise Chris Webb for being part of this total shambles.
He has sold out. Plain and simple. He wouldn't accept this in his day job, but at Argyle he's happy to accept an election that would shame North Korea.
The people who criticised and mocked The Trust elections, yes you all know who you are, should also hang their heads in shame. The turnout for the PASB election was just over 30%, when the voting papers came with a pre-paid feckin envelope, and yet Chris Webb tries comparing it with what is forecast for the upcoming Police Commissioners vote, which will entail people getting off their asses and voting for one of a list of people they don't know, to fulfill a role they know nothing about.
The Trust turnout was much higher and you had people like Hooper the Snooper criticising and ridiculing it, yet he received a piddling 15% of the PASB election votes cast, and he campaigned like it was the US Presidential elections FFS.
Lee Jameson ridiculed The Trust over the date of the AGM etc. yet is happy to sit on a board where 2 year olds were eligible to vote, and the only real chance to differentiate between the candidates was cancelled.
Sorry Lee but where are your principles? Why are you taking a place on the PASB after your involvement in the Deepthroat episode?
As I said on another thread, the only thing that could top off the ill feeling and ridicule of the PASB fiasco would be if the nominations from the Cornwall and the Plymouth supporters branches are anyone else who will divide the already shaky fanbase. I dread to think who could also be on the PASB now. _________________ IF IT LOOKS LIKE A BEAR, IS BROWN AND STANDS UPRIGHT IN THE WOODS IN NORTH CAROLINA, IT'S PROBABLY A BIGFOOT or a bear.

| Chris Webb told Cobi the PASB was nothing to do with him when Cobi asked about how he went about standing for it.
Yet if he isn't involved in it why is he making statements about it.
Surely if he isn't involved Brent or Jones would make the announcements.
