I have to be honest, polls on fans forums are not a good thing, it's like trying to influence people or the club.

We all know that people connected to the club read forums, hence as soon as someone writes something slanderous - the forum admin will be contacted.

Now with a poll, other people who may be on the fence regarding Keith may think ohh x amount think he should go so I'll join that side.

Forums also have a lot of readers who just browse but don't sign up, if they read a forum and think everyone wants Keith out - it could influence their views and when they have their half time pasty and chat to the guy sitting next to them the negativity could soon spread.

Also, polls can be manipulated to push agendas, there are a host of proxy sites on Google, you can make as many free emails up via outlook, gmail, GMX et al and then sign up on here to vote.

Of course a forum administrator may now tell me that - no this can't be done - people can only have 1 account, if they have more than 1 we will know about it straight away.

I will say... wrong, if you go to the 3 mobile network home page, they offer a free sim card with 200 mb of data pre loaded - you don't need to top up to get it. It's called "internet with legs" apparently other networks offer this too.

Anyone can order as many of them as they like, pop one in their phone, sign up and that's another Hotel End account, pop another one and repeat - another Hotel End account.

I feel this needed to be pointed out because sometimes you will see certain local journalists saying how an online poll revealed x amount of fans think this or think that... totally ignoring the fact that said online could be manipulated so easily and may not really reflect the opinion that it claims.
You should know about multiple accounts FRANKY BOY.
