The Walsall forum, Up the Saddlers, has an open poll asking if they are happy with the idea of a ground share with CCFC.
You don't have to have a log in just vote.
Needless to say I have voted NO.
Get over there and vote NO if you want to show support.

Shame, because I would be interested to know what they really think. Now we will just get a load of disgruntled CCFC fans skewing the poll, which would also mean that the Walsall board will not take it seriously regardless of the result.

We know what they think just by reading the threads. As many Saddlers are against as Sky Blues.
It is always the case with online polls. They only give a snapshot. But they do allow the application of pressure. Politics and all we fans have just now.

While I appreciate the sentiment, don't you think it'd carry more weight if Walsall fans said they didn't want it, rather than Coventry ones (who we know don't want it).

It'd come back as a no anyway I'm sure, so just let nature take its course and it'd be far more effective.

Q - "would you support a groundshare with Coventry"

Well, I am a CCFC fan and the answer is NO

Its not asking "As a Wallsall fan, would you support groundshare"

I guess it depends how you ask the question. If it was: "Would you allow Coventry City to ground share if it meant we could fund a promotion push?" I guess more would say yes.

I agree with putting pressure on but skewing their polls will just make them ignored. Surely it would be better for Walsall fans to show what their opinion is and their board may take note rather than just make it a CCFC fan poll.

So you are saying the 10 votes prior to us finding out about it provides a true sample. Just think its an opportunity missed to find out what the Walsall fans think (not just the few who post on boards).

I just think it will have the opposite impact to what people hope. Will just be ignored.

In which case, if they rent the ground, do the club have a say??

Yep, the poll now has no validity to what the Walsall fans think about the prospective temporary move. No doubt the reault willbe quoted on here at some point though.
