When we talk about coming together...

Just over half of Englishmen voted Conservative at the last election. Funny old world isn't it.

 

[SuitsBlue]

but that is very slippery as well bruce, how many english(whats that)men actually voted?

what bothers me about the vote we had is the % that didnt actually use their vote.

This is the same with any election/vote though. Check out this page on the 2005 general election.

61% voter turnout and just over 20% of the electorate voting for Labour. God bless democracy huh.

and numbers wise bush has never won an election, democracy rules ok right?

It seems to me the KEIOC is pretty embarrasing to most of the people who were/are opposed to the Kirkby plans, but unfortunately the loudest. Being a Londoner and having only visited Goodison once (i know, shame on me) I have not concerned myself too much with the pros and cons of the move location wise, and not really wishing to split the fanbase furthur, but perhaps a seperate group for all those who are opposed to the move but aren't loonies might be set up? The Kirkby deal is far from finalised and i'm sure if there was a sensible group that better represented them that they could put across their views more succinctly, effectively and xonvincingly than Keioc. I can't help but feel like they hindered their own cause more than helped it, judging from the talk around this board.

No! Not shame on you. Some people can't get to games. Me included. Some people can't afford them, live too far away etc etc. Doesn't stop me being hurt when we loose and feeling euphoria when we win.

Well said Dylan, I live but a few short miles away but can't get there now but I'll be blue until I draw my last breath!
