Dagenham and Redbridge FC EGM Members vote result - vote 37 for Tamplin 11 against. In 2 months the paperwork will be completed.

i thought we had about 70 members sounds like a few did not vote,

So he'd have won even if he needed 75% of those attending
Amazing how few people it needed to make such a big change

The members who did not show up count as a no vote so it's still not the 75%. It was changed to 50/50 for one reason only.

Bring on the legal battle.

You're going to legally challenge the club? Good luck with that.

You won't be laughing when you're asking for money in a bucket.

Thank you for the sarcasm. So what is this proof then?

And have you also had it confirmed that no shows count as no votes?? I believe proxy voting was available so I would imagine that no shows would count as an abstain vote??

Did a protest take place outside??

It's common knowledge. Ask any member.

Proof, not hearsay.

Where is that in the company's articles/memorandum? Because my quick read of the companies act suggests that it allows a vote taken by poll to be passed by the requisite percentage of those who vote in person, by proxy or in advance. I think it's only a show of hands that is counted as you say - but I'm not a company lawyer. See 282(3) and 283(5) of the companies act.
