It's a fair point but I have parental duties! Can imagine there won't be huge numbers indeed. Poorly attended apparently. I'm not surprised. Those firmly against probably chose not to bother. Also, so many of us live outside Cambridge that going in 'just' for the consultation requires dedication that ain't quite there.

Also, so many of us live outside Cambridge that going in 'just' for the consultation requires dedication that ain't quite there. If they really wanted "fan" opinion then they would have had hosted a day event on a weekend to really capture people's views - arranged as a drop in so people can come and go through the day. Rather than a Thursday night, near the end of the working week for most, other commitments take over - simple as that. I'm still querying why the players have a consultation in this, 99% of them have no vested interest in the design or the club and have played for many clubs before us and will do after us too.

Having seen some pictures on line of shirts with the badges, I am being converted to Design 2! This is what happens Daniel! Me, you, Jerry (EG was there from the start!). I can't see 2 happening and, even if it did, not with the full club name as is my preferred amendment. It really is a grower though. The narrative around the Abbey arches (and arches in Cambridge generally) is a strong one. Proper Nuts territory. FWIW I think the book and ball is awful now, though it was my first glance favourite. I won't have anything to do once this bloody crest is chosen.

The arches is a good concept. It just needs better weighting from the text and the slightly wonky bottom row of windows.
I hope it's not too late to make that amendment

The biggest chance for fan engagement will be the West Brom friendly. So give everyone a bit of paper on the way through the turnstiles, then just inside have 3 ballot boxes. Shove your paper in the preferred choice.

The euphonium is preferable to the trombone, which promotes arm rhythms suggestive of sin.

I thought Dylan was pretty nonchalant about the club badge...
