thisGRAEME Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 48 minutes ago, Wellin said: Mine don't go into junk and Im with Yahoo who are notorious for putting emails in spam folders. I get the point you are making but if someone was on twitter (and I get not everyone is) they'll have seen the tweets about the issue as well. Plus there was a three week timescale between the original communication and the vote as far as I'm aware. Of course there's been apathy, the voting figures show that some fans didn't care enough to vote at this point. Excluding the people who may have missed this as you say. I mean, 36%, as mentioned, is an exceptional click through rate for any kind of email campaign. There's a not insignificant part of the Motherwell and society support who will not be 'digital natives' . The society has also been running for over a decade. Unless the database work on that front has been handled regularly and maintained consistently by someone then there's some inevitable natural wastage in there. My dad still uses an AOL email address FFS, and I'd place him in the "Not completely hopeless online" category. TL;DR - 36% sounds bad; isny really. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Given that it would potentially trigger an actual regulated financial transaction - I would imagine that a real vote would be done on bits of paper through the post (as per the f**k sevco right up the bugle vote all those years back). If people didn't vote on that basis, they've abstained and that's that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowsdower Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I agree that for these kind of things 36% isn't bad at all and, to be fair, I think that it would have been more problematic should the vote have gone the other way. I.e. that would have redlined us losing our majority, whereas right now all that's happened is we've said we're kind of up for anything, but we're still going to vote when something actually happens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 (edited) Tbh, the vote went the way I expected, if not the way I actually voted, based on the way the question was presented. Essentially why would you rule something out when you don't know what the options are? That said, in line with a point that @Swello made earlier, I'd imagine that the club/WS would have remained in conversation with all of the interested parties regardless of which way the vote went so I don't think there's really much change on that front. It's annoying that it leaves us still suspended in this kind of limbo since as @Handsome_Devil has been saying I think we'd be far better served sorting our own house out first in terms of CEO and all that stuff.

He was never very good but has barely kicked a ball in 18 months or so now. Got on for us in September for about 10 minutes, went to Thistle where he never played a minute. Honestly I kind of assumed he was chucking fitba all together. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wellin Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 (edited) 11 minutes ago, Wellmental21 said: Told by a very reliable source at the club that David Lindores and Greg Anderson (EK based businessman) are leading a consortium to invest in the club. Not thought to be one of the two that have been mentioned by the club so far See to be honest with you. I think that sources at the club should keep this stuff to themselves. Particularly given the well society members have just had a vote and we aren't party to any other information regarding investment and who wants to invest. Totally unprofessional if people are leaking info like this and I don't think it should be posted on here either because it could potentially affect their decision to go ahead with it if it's posted on open forums Edited March 1 by Wellin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliphas Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 (edited) Wouldn't be so down on it. Leaking could also be a tactical move the other way. At the moment we've no local business type bids we know about. Just foreign investment which no one really trusts. Now, suddenly we've got knowledge of a local potential bid for investment just after a vote result comes of the WS? Im sure a sizeable chunk of fans who don't want foreign majority stakeholder are suddenly interested In regards the vote, into the same vein of wanting investment bids, the WS vote goes the other way and it probably empties the two candidates who want a majority, perhaps clears a path perhaps for a non majority local bid. Good for those who want It. Bad for those who want as many investment options as possible. It goes the way it has and we have competitive tension in the bidding process. Which is a good thing.

I get your point but Im a well society member and this gets leaked on a fans forum. I'm not suggesting that I should know more because I am a society member I just think it's off that anyone is discussing this given that people who voted were given no information on any of the potential investors. It comes from the club or the society or what is the point. Edited March 1 by Wellin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure the papers have been leaking exclusives before fans knew things for years haven’t shared anything that society board won’t be or will be made aware of soon.

Very hard to keep things like that watertight. Especially essentially small business like ourselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
