alphamale86 47 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 I was excited about tomorrow's big unveil of Doha's logo and website when I came across this article. Now I don't ever remember Baku leading any polls on this website as to who the majority of us wants to host the 2020 games but this article is sure saying that we want them too. Check it out and have a good laugh http://en.trend.az/news/society/1989733.html Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Rols 1902 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 LOL - that's a good one. Reminds me how Annecy led the home page polling here throughout the 2018 race. I got a feeling it'll be a different ranking for Baku when it comes to the first 2020 Bid Index. Link to post Share on other sites
intoronto 650 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Certainly many of us didn't vote in it. Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Rols 1902 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Certainly many of us didn't vote in it. I'd be far more likely to draw conclusions from a poll in the forums here than I would for any of the public polls on the GB home page. Link to post Share on other sites
alphamale86 47 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 It was just weird when I read it. I was like over 10,000 people voted on gamesbids.com for Baku alone? What?????? I didn't know we had so many members. This is propaganda at it's highest to actually print an article of such falsities to boost the bid. It's truly opened my eyes. Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Rols 1902 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Both Annecy and PyeongChang had mind-blowing numbers voting for them in the 2018 public polls. There's was some obvious campaign, or over-enthusiasm by some supporters, going on there. Link to post Share on other sites
SwissO 126 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 No supporters behind that... Apparently, it's just possible to get robot participating to those poles on the front page.... Link to post Share on other sites
Soaring 182 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 That article was too funny Link to post Share on other sites
Rob. 2047 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 No supporters behind that... Apparently, it's just possible to get robot participating to those poles on the front page.... I wouldn't be at all surprised. Link to post Share on other sites
Gangwon 259 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 A skewed poll is nothing new. IIRC, thousands of Pyeongchang supporters voted en masse in the thousands during the 2014 race over Sochi/Salzburg too. What's funny is taking this poll at more than face value- with the CEO of the Baku Organizing Committee saying this actually means something! Link to post Share on other sites
