I thought I'ld start a separate thread for election discussions.
A few thoughts for starters. The clubs database for season ticket holders should pose few problems for mailing out election papers.
The problems are going to be,how to register POTD fans and issuing them with ballot papers etc. To do that at the ground would be a nightmare.I could see papers going all over the place. One idea might be to give POTD a chit / card etc. Maybe they collect 2 or 3 from certain home matches, then send the 2/3 chits /cards to the trust. They get put onto a database and that database combined with the ST one is the database that a postal election is based on. Obviously a database will have to be set up and time for Trust volunteers to input names and addresses and then organise mailing out the ballots. It will be expensive and time consumming but with enough volunteers could be done. Fans will moan about posting registration forms to the Trust but if they want a vote they will do it. If they don't they can't moan if they don't get a vote. It might increase attendances for the 2/3 games where chits/ cards are issued as well.
Just an idea to start the ball rolling.
