Best Loo-ser competition
Re: Best Loo-ser competition
Please see the e-mails below between myself and the competition organisers - hope we may get somewhere now!
Nick,
Just a little feedback from our club.
The fans have really thrown themselves into this competition, and it was getting a lot of coverage locally in the media, and also on a lot of social networking sites.
There is now unfortunately a little bit of negativity creeping in which could quickly dampen the whole thing down from our point of view, this is pre-dominantly based on
a) Not having a definitive end date, they are saying, and I have to agree, that every other competition has set dates that are known before voting starts
b) The website crashing
c) A lot of people voting and not getting e-mails acknowledging their voteCould you please respond to this e-mail with a few answers that will hopefully put all our minds at rest, and encourage us to keep on promoting the competition.
Regards
Martin Lewis
Commercial Manager
Barrow AFC
Martin,
There was an issue with the site last night because of the volume of votes. The bandwidth has been increased and it should be fine now.
The votes that we received last night will be counted and people should get e-mail confirmation within the next 24 hours.
Apologies for the problems but you can tell people their votes will count.
I do take your point about the duration of the vote. I speak to the people at Plumb Venter and see if we can get a definitive date.
Best wishes, Nick

How have they managed that?

I like the gutter in the floor bogs on the pop side. They've gpt character.
I remember one time when I went for a wazz and my nephew was beside me. "Stop it" he shouted, Stop what? I thought. Turns out he was standing a bit close to the wall and he was getting serious splash backs to the face. You've got to get your W2WD (Wanger to Wall Distance) right.

Re: Best Loo-ser competition
Anyone posted on the conference boards or would the neutral fan be more likely to vote for ebbsfleet becuase from what i gather we are not that well liked because of the oxford incidents?
I have posted it on redadnwhitekop so hopefully some of the scousers will give us some votes
