Socios plan may need carrier pigeons

The Socios initiative which will allow fans to vote on a variety of inoffensive issues has been described as controversial, money grabbing and plain dull.

On the flip side there are those who will love the opportunity of paying a quid for a token which gives them the right to  have there two ‘pennorth on these issues.

Sean explained the type of scenarios for whom some would be spending a quid on a token giving them the opportunity to have a say on really minor questions.

These could includes which match Socios should sponsor,  the man of the match for that game, which player should appear on the football programme for that match and moment of the month.

However, ClaretandHugh Facebook group member Toby Cole has pointed out one rather important flaw in the scheme which we can only hope willl be solved this season.

He writes at https://www.facebook.com/groups/363174467150521/ “Sean’s article clears up the cost and season ticket holders etc get the token for free.

The real issue here is how are we meant to vote via the app when there is no internet connection in the stadium. Will they provide us with carrier pigeons to get around this issue?
