Lets see....bearing in mind the forum may or may not be the best representation of average alty fans.

So are we thriving or driving down sh*t creek with a faulty sat nav?

It's inconclusive because there are enough people who have voted for Rowley out but remain to swing the vote either way if they had to choose go or stay.

On what basis will people be walking out of the ground in two weeks? Rowley out or Rowley step down a rung?

Well, technically neither want him as chairman.

As someone who will be walking out, I voted resign but stay at the club.

Nobody doubts the work has done or continues to do. It's the fact he refuses to build bridges with the fans which makes it almost impossible to reunite the fan base in any way. That's why I don't think his position as chairman is tenable.

For me its about being responsible for some dreadful managerial appointments. Accountability.

Mr. Rowley must go.

Sorry, I wasn't asking you to indicate your stance to me. I just think that when this walkout takes place the message should not be open to interpretation. You all need to be clear about what you are asking for.

Personally, I don't want to see the guy go but the worst case scenario as I see it is that Mr Rowley steps down but stays on the board and half of the protesters still aren't happy.

A line does need to be drawn under this some how.

I too opted for option 3

The club could become more united and the excellent legacy of community work can continue if the right thing is done.

The longer this goes on the more divided the fanbase will be and the community work will be less appreciated.

By that do you mean he should go and are wondering who the next guy could be,; or that he should stay because he will be difficult to replace?

I never understand why this line is trotted out regularly. It's the responsibility of the board & shareholders to identify appoint a new chairman, not the supporters. As pointed out on another thread, when Geoff Goodwin took over, how many people on this forum would have nominated him in response to a similar question?

Who wouldn't you replace him with?

As football club - we should be judged from the playing side, not how well the books balance or how many people attend yoga in the community hall.

From a footballing perspective we have reached rock bottom and are still sinking. I don't see how the club would be in a lower position if a child had been running the club for the past two years.

I know Grahame has done well at balancing the books and getting the community side together, but this is first and foremost a football club. So maybe let someone who can improve the footballing side of things take over the reins. If Grahame wants to work as part of the community hall then let him be in charge of running that, but he shouldn't be involved with any of the football aspect.
