You won't get a figure of how much DD's have increased. These things are variable and it be mad to announce they are getting £7000 a month more or whatever

 

Realise that giving actual amounts might not be possible but it would be good publicity to even be told how much it's gone up in percentage terms.

All adds to the feelgood factor.

An update from the Well Society.

How many eligible to vote members does the WS have in total?

The last figures I was given at end February was around 3800 including Junior members. Around 1500 members contributed financially by monthly DD. Not aware of any update since.

The number of votes cast was 1531, and the turnout of eligible members was 56%, so that puts the number of members eligible to vote at 2735. I think. If membership was remarked to be approx. 3800 a while ago, there must be 1000 members who were ineligible to vote. 

• 1,531 votes were cast by Tuesday 16 July at 10am
• 56% of eligible Well Society members had voted by this point
• This ensured the turnout threshold of 35% was exceeded
• 330 Well Society members had voted to accept the proposal (21.55%)
• 1,201 Well Society members had voted to reject the proposal (78.45%)

EDIT - Basically, the maths suggests that there was about 1200 members eligible to vote who didn't vote. I think.

Also:

Jim McMahon, 16 July: "discussions around this proposal are creating significant divisions within the fanbase."

Ballot (midway), 16 July: 80/20 against the proposal.

Get him to fuck. He's been found out on multiple occasions now.

It's like Tom Baker's character in Black Adder. 

"There's two schools of thought on that. Everyone else does, but I don't"

Now I'll sit back and wait for the Black Adder geeks to correct my recollection.

Think he's played a blinder considering he's been piggy in the middle between the 2 boards.

Hopefully he can now get on with the job he signed up for.

Well said sir. He's been dropped in at the deep end.

I've got high hopes for Caldwell and fan ownership moving forward. It seems like a good fit for him and the Society.

Indeed, and has already overseen multiple new signings early in the transfer window and the lucrative transfer of Thelonius, all against a background of nonsense., looking forward to what he can do for us now all this has settled

I could never say that of an EK bus member of old, when we filled a 72 seater every week 🤣.

Someone recently shared a video on the last group of people that ran for the society, does anyone have a link to that? Can’t see anything on YouTube

The morning after the night that never was. I wonder how Jim and Erik are feeling now that they’ve exhausted the world’s supply of Brasso.

I wish neither party any harm.

Rather than focus on retribution, revenge, vendettas, punishement and reprisals its now time for all of us to get behind the Society and club to work for positive change and to support the former's strategy.  Personnel changes should be actioned in a timely but business like and objective way. We've no time for negative distractions now.

I concur.

But McMahon, Dickie and Feely have to go.

They are the negative distraction.

I don’t wish them any harm either, I was making a joke of their bold but misguided natures. 

However, it remains that those involved from the Club (McMahon, Dickie and Feely) have to be removed via the proper channels. This proposed removal isn’t retribution or revenge or whatever, it is the proper course of action to take following their actions which have made their positions untenable.

They have done this to themselves by creating the negative distraction, and it would be improper of any business to retain such individuals who have sought to undermine said business in the way they have.
