Accepted, but try to keep things in context.
Read back from #229 and you'll see that the discussion about who should vote on club issues was a totally separate debate. The petition, and the amount of folk who signed it, was a spin-off conversation, and not necessarily connected directly with the voting for the new crest, as the club have already invited votes from fans with customer numbers.
Therefore nobody is emotive, and nothing is flawed.
ANYBODY can get a customer number in less than 2 minutes, and 'THAT' is my whole point. In my opinion, the vote should come from match going fans only, and not from the general fan base. Guys can debate that all they want, but it's just 'my' opinion on the matter, not a law. A guy in Outer Mongolia who stumbled across the club during our pre-season tour should not have the same vote as the guy who goes to both home and away matches without fail. As things stand though, he can simply register, and within minutes, cast his vote.
It's not personal to overseas fans, but more a respect for the match goer.
