Guest hairyshamrock Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 You will always get such things happen in an open vote like this, but what you have to think is that until they send out ballot papers and we all have to go and vote, it's the best situation we can hope for!

Swindon Hater Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Surely if kit 4 wins the club will love it as they will have "proved" us wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will only be a problem if at the end of the vote shirt 4 wins, and it is chosen. Is not going to happen. Only really feel sorry for any BCFC fans who did actually like 4 and wanted to vote for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StapleHillPhil Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 If several thousand fans of other clubs suddenly start visiting our website would this generate additional revenue from PTV? Are we actually being a little bit clever for once? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Surely if the other fans are voting for shirt 4 to ridicule us that really shows how bad an idea it would be to introduce it?I think we should be thankful we now have a vote and believe that common sence will pervail.By the way, if the situation was reversed and the Gas had a shirt vote, do you really think we wouldn't be doing the same!

Guest Kustard Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 According to the website Kit 3 is a runaway leader, followed by Kit 2, then Kit 1 and luckily Kit 4 is coming last!!Lets face it, there are more City fans than Rovers fans and only a few Gasheads are going to waste their time trying to jeopardise our shirt. Surely if the people counting votes have any sense they could spot a few gasheads email addresses (ie, mine has CTID in it) and discount the vote.Plus a couple of seasons ago they did a similar vote for the away shirt, when the black away shirt won, which is by far the smartest away shirt I have seen City wear.Don't worry folks, the best shirt will win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke_Ciderhead Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Its a joke.Plymouth fans (who still seem to have this illusion that they are our rivals) and QPR fans are all spreading the word around to vote for kit 4. Why cant they just grow up. http://boards.rivals.net/default.asp?sid=9...90&forumId=3672http://boards.rivals.net/default.asp?sid=9...ytoid=534815861 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that's what the club has in mind. And if rival fans logging on to vote creates extra revenue for us via the website deal, then so much the better.

Percy Parrot Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 A few fans from other clubs will vote for 4 but the only people who are really going to care enough to vote in numbers will be City fans. Kit 3 looks like it will win. Maybe those who haven't voted yet and are unsure will vote tactically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club are well aware that most of the votes for Shirt 4 are from rival fans and all those extra hits to our website are only generating more money for us.Who looks stupid now?

stick Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 i for one think we should praise the club for having the common sense to backtrack and put the kit(s) to the votedon't get me wrong, kit four (the clubs original choice) sucksat least we are getting a chance to vote, and not just moanthe club are (or at least should be) well aware that the extra votes for the fancy dress disater are coming from k#ob jockeys from other clubs. Lets welcome their stupidity in the form of the extra revenue from the website hits and laugh at their backwards thinking !!i agree, if kit 4 wins then it will be dodgy based on the fans reactions.i prefer kit two, and have voted, but am happy to go with the flow on any of the other three options. At least none of them have the winner from the junior reds new badge colouring contest on them ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
