HDM Is No More.....Please Welcome......
Well, its been voted on and decided. The Gaffer has a new moniker, Hughes Da Man is DEAD! Risen from the ashes, please welcome.......
WALKER, the new name for HDM!
The poll was voted on for almost a week and it was a keenly contested poll.
However the overall winner was 'WALKER' with a 36% share of the voting pie.
Trailing behind was another popular choice amongst the VBers was 'Jack Da Man' with 18% of the votes. 3rd and 4th were keenly contested with 'Williams For President' getting 11% and 'Hughes Was Da Man' getting 10%.
'Blue and White Army' rounded out the top 5 with 8% of the votes.
My personal favourite, 'DIMO' only got 6% of your votes whereas WALKER's favoured name, 'Derbs Da Man' pulled in a pathetic 1%
The entire results were as follows.
Hughes Was Da Man (HWDM) 10%
Derbs Da Man 1%
DIMO (Derbyshire Is My Offspring) 6%
Stevie Wee Wonderland 2%
Santa Da Man 5%
Williams For President 11%
Jack Da Man 18%
Blue and White Army 8%
WALKER 36%
Nelsen is God 3%
Next up on the poll is suggested by MajiRovers and asks 'How Do You Think We Will Fare With Ince?'
Time to get back to normal service then lads and lasses!
