25 votes have now been cast. Less than 3 days left. If you haven't already, please cast you vote.

P.S. I'll be returning from a camping weekend when the vote closes (6pm on Sunday) so please don't expect results instantly but I will get them to you as soon as reasonably possible, hopefully late on the Sunday night.

Interesting (to me, perhaps to no-one else!) that we came to TFF to get wider engagement, but it seems the number of votes is going to be largely similar to the total we got on the TE forum. Unless there is an avalanche between now and the end of the vote, I guess. Un-sexy subject?

It would be interesting to see a list of people who voted on TE vs who voted on TFF.

probably more likely that there can be no "Clique" accusations if we all vote, so lets pretend we didn't see this thread and moan later!! :wink:

I think maybe a few people might have lost interest due to the amount of posts, rightly or wrongly, it took to get to this point. I stopped reading the other couple of threads ‘cos they became quite cyclical.

Only came back to the subject and voted ‘cos I clocked Wormito’s post on twitter (?) which suggested there was actually a conclusion in sight. That, and to avoid being part of what you’re (accurately, I suspect) predicting - low numbers giving credibility to the suggestion that people will chat sbout it, but aren’t fussed in an actual outcome.

The same happened with the Team England EurOpen team vote, sadly.

Not too late to vote folks!!!!!!! :D :D :D

If you do vote you have a chance to shape Team England going forward. If you don't then you can't complain if you think it should be different.

I hear Jip's point, it did get bogged down after there was a lot of interesting exchanges especially in Podfrey's initial thread. As is often the case the reality is that we need a certain degree of bureaucracy to find something all will accept; least worst way I guess. Equally inevitable is a degree of apathy when it comes to the crunch, also a bit of a shame. But I'll repeat...

Not too late to vote folks!!!!!!! :D :D :D

No worries bud. Just want to make sure that, when I captain Team England to the Intergalactic Blood Bowl Inter-Planetary Championship (using Stormcast, obviously) in 2078, the political process was carried out with optimum inclusion and complete transparency. :wink:

The whole Team England things has gone a bit *not reading all that* for me, but then I'm lazy and just like to play games. Voted.

Ok, after a mini flurry of activity over the last 3 days we have 32 votes. The results are as follows:

Option A: Captain: 8 votes (25%)
Option B: Committee: 19 votes (59%)
Option C: Unstructured: 5 votes (16%)

So we have elected the Committee structure.

Thanks again to everyone who voted.

Mike, can you check the count for me please.

Mike, thanks for the confirmation.

Ok, onwards we go :D

I'll set up a new thread later today or tomorrow for committee elections. Lets keep this moving. It would be great to have the committee in place well before EuroBowl/EurOpen in Cardiff in October.
