You never take personal responsibility for your own failings it’s always your Achilles heel
Sample selection is about more than size. This place is self selecting both in terms of people that stick around for the Nick and Grendel show and in terms of who decides to click on the poll. That’s before you get to the fact that this place is seen by many as extremely biased and anti Coventry/Trust. Facebook is far less self selecting, though still not ideal. And AFAIK the Trust have surveyed their members which is more than 1k. At least they did when I was a member, I assume they still do.
I’ve got to say, I’d be surprised if the relatively niche views held by the faithful here were represented widely, if for no other reason than only this place gives you that particular media diet. Look at the hate anything that isn’t 100% the party line of “it’s all CCCs fault and Wasps are scum” gets, regardless of its source.
Any poll written by an amateur and left to self select is worthless. Like a Twitter poll.
It’s not all the councils fault, it’s very much the fault of everyone involved. And wasps aren’t scum although I’d prefer it if they weren’t in Coventry.
There is none. It's all in Mr Shmeees imagination.Still waiting for the hate.

You can wash off a skid mark. Clueless again.Better than Skid Mark

In the end you really are a typical example of an entitled society - “my daughter lives in foleshill and has not seen a single tree” - then take personal responsibility and do something about it.
I am not responsible for your failings in life and for the colossal chips on both shoulders - take responsibility - everyone in life has equal opportunity
mine seem to be quite persistentYou can wash off a skid mark. Clueless again.

True. But they are also dismissing the GMK Twitter poll which was does the Trust represent you - yes or no.
Think the nos were over 490.
I don't think the Trust can afford to be dismissive of the polls even if as you point out they are flawed.
I assume Les is Reid, but who's Frank?
They can just say they don't count like Neil, schmmeee and Orca seem to be saying.
They all seem quite eager to discredit it all, Neil thought it was "Les or Frank".
Strange really that when you look at it they have some of the strongest bias for things out of city fans.
I've never said they don't count Nick. I've only ever said that Grendel's assertion this site was the largest online community of fans is incorrect.
For what's it's worth, I don't think any survey of fans has any great merit, unless there are parties able or willing to act on its results. I don't see any of the protagonists who could make a difference being willing or able to make a substantive difference to CCFC playing back in Coventry based on a survey. So yes, you can read into that that I don't think they'll count, but not for the reasons you're suggesting.
The surveys are about the Trust aren't they?
Yes, but I don't believe they have any power to do anything, much less influence the powers that be. Let's say the survey was wide ranging and a large proportion of respondents favoured action against Wasps. Do you really think it would change Wasps' stance?

It would need to start by changing the Trust's stance to represent the fans.
Don't be fooled, nobody else falls for the strange accounts from people at the council like you and Toughy.
Stop calling anyone with this view a council employee, it's as bad as when people call you a Sisu employee. It invalidates any valid arguments you have.

But you know I'm not Grendel, yes?Tim Kalns is essentially a council employee - it is a factually accurate statement

Yep, there are certain examples who are, those are valid. Calling some randomer on a forum you know little about a council employee or similar is just silly.
But you know I'm not Grendel, yes?
As others on here know my full name and have checked my LinkedIn profile, they'll know I don't work for the council. I left the Council's IT department in 1995 or so when it was outsourced. Never had anything to do them since. It is tiresome Nick keeps repeating this and thank you for calling it out.

I read this quote differently Nick.
Read another way, it looks like you're saying I work for them. As I've explained, I don't.
Grendel and I had a very cordial discussion on this privately and I believe he's come to realise the assertion I'm 'falling for something' is incorrect. I actually defended him to one of the accounts you believe is a Council employee and he took on board some of my points about what he'd tweeted about me.
It wouldn't be the same without the edge being brought to it all.I am glad you 2 have kissed and made up.
