Would the club really create a poll and then have it rigged??

The headmistress wasn't overly enthused about the idea iirc.
Pretty sure I have the concept well grasped. People submit their opinion and in the process implicitly authorize their opinion being discussed.
This just reiterates my suspicion that some people will just downplay every good initiative and hammer them on the mistakes. Why should an initiative be downplayed just because it wasn't "a total surprise"?
Imagine the increase in membership numbers next season if we announced at the end of this year that there will be a members only vote on the home and away jumpers for 2013!
Unfortunately that wouldn't leave enough time to get it done. If we are going to be polled on a new main jumper for 2013 it would have to get going in the next couple of months.
Not enough time for printing/distribution of the new jumper?
Hmmm bummer, do you think if they announced this next week our membership numbers would shoot up? Probably less effective then at the start of a season but better than nothing?
Do you think the jumper will ever get changed back? Do the kids like the new Lion?
Whilst a members vote might have worked better, there is the chance that the club wanted the vote open so that some of the Fitzroy folk who might not be members would get a say, trying to get a bit of involvement and encourage those people to come back to the club, especially as it is a one of jumper. It would certainly be good to see some members only voting on some things to push the 'benefits of being a member' envelope a bit though. Even soemthing like having 3 designs for the members polo and letting the people do a vote on it would be good, doesn't need to be ground breaking things to start with.
As a member of 17 years I’m not really fussed on voting for a jumper, I think it might be too divisive, and may result in an inferior choice getting up.
I want people at the club to make a really well thought out and tasteful decision that balances as best they can all the issues.
I’d love to read a report showing how much care and attention the club put into making the choice.

After than I’d just like everyone to get on with it.
Either way, the new members charter obliges them to consult.

- our song - being based on La Marseillaise in particular, but I would also object to not being consulted to major changes to its current wording
I too would object to the changing of the song without consultation, but it has been somewhat of a bugbear of mine for a while now, not the wording - just the synthasized tune is (for the want of a better word) pox, especially compared to the originals
