I'm quite happy to have a vote as to whether I stay or go. Sort out a proper poll and I will abide by the result.

Not sure. But Coventry is where Coventryrover lives presumably, and its only 12 miles from Solihull where i live, and TRB lives there too!

First job though would be to establish if he is real, or some Alf Garnett type persona invented by the site moderators to stimulate hits.

Personally i think he should become a cartoon with a range of merchandise we can buy.

Bob. He isn't a human. He's a fictional character. A character created by an incredibly dull man with enough free time to spend writing several thousand lengthy posts winding up strangers on some third-tier football club's fansite over a period of years, but still. It's like getting wound up by the set of bas**rds on Game of Thrones. They're not real. They're created purposely to be hated.

I'm amazed how many seemingly intelligent people still get so f**ked off by him, myself. I did too, once upon a time, but you can see the old Mick routine wearing thin now. Granted he should be banned because he promotes no worthwhile discussion, ever, and every thread he makes is some passive-aggressive attack on the userbase AND he's a proven ban evader anyway, but still.

Pic very related, it's Mick posting on this forum EVERY SINGLE NIGHT.

The trouble with polls is the most liked people are also the most disliked. For everyone that likes someone there's someone who dislikes them. Disliking someone is a stronger emotion than liking someone, so even a proper serious unbiased poll (which this one obviously isn't) would attract the negative voter more than the positive one.

Now if there was a vote giving a choice of people to vote in favour of, it would be fairer, but not necessarily accurate, because then there's the in-crowd vote, where people vote for what they consider to be part of the clique more than their considered opinion.
