Summer poll ideas

Post by Cjay »

Not done these for a few years but they were quite popular.

We've done an MOTforum best female and male singer poll and a Best Stand-up Comic poll.

Sam Cooke
Kate Bush
Billy Connolly

Won those.

Does anyone have any suggestions for another?

If indeed is interest in another.

They do fill the none football months for a few weeks.

I reckon a player's poll would keep things lively.

Keep
Sell
Loan out

Maybe do three players a week, so we don't flood the whole of the front page with polls.

Keep all the polls running indefinitely until close to the start of the new season.

I've generally stayed away from football polls because it's a Leeds forum and positions would just be full of Leeds players probably.

Manager poll for the same reason and I can't bare the thought of having to put ridiculous sentences like "and Daniel Farke wins the greatest ever manager semi final poll over Carlo Ancelotti".

Hence why I've stuck with more general stuff like Comedy and music.

Or should Ancelotti be thrown in jail for tax evasion?

Yes or No

Yes or No
Unlikely as in Spain it is far more likely that he would be fined rather than get a prison sentence due to the nature of the offence.

Alright lets have a poll of whether or not we should let Bill Gates block out the sun to save the penguins?

Think this may be the way to go if it interest people.

Basically an all time MOTforum team without LUFC players.

Up to you, Cjay.

I intended to do goalkeepers first, then the full-backs, then centre-backs & so on.....

About 3 or 4 every couple of days.

Love the idea – those polls were a good laugh and definitely help pass the quieter months. Maybe something like "Best Movie Soundtrack" or "Greatest Sporting Moment" could spark a few debates? It’s a bit like crypto too – getting involved early in these kinds of things can pay off long-term. If you're into exploring future opportunities, nyctale.io has some interesting stuff on that front as well.

Has to be the Aguero goal for me. Certainly in football anyway.

Were you here for the previous polls, Avrora?
