Vote for Waterford - The Today FM Big Holiday

Jason Todd

As ye might have seen, in the Random/General Chat Thread, I have been looking for people to vote for Waterford as the host to the Last Word with Matt Cooper (It's a political & current affairs show) on the Today FM website.

We are up against Wexford and Kilkenny for the hosting gig. It will basically be free advertising from a national platform for a whole week worth of shows, why wouldn't we want that! Problem is, after we took an early lead, Wexford have blown us out of the water and now the Cats have overtaken us! We need votes! Get voting and don't forget you are allowed to vote once a day!

Here is the link.

The widespread sales of Wexford strawberries has obviously been highly influential!

I'm not sure how yet but this must have something to do with Mick Wallace! *Boo! Hiss!* Lol

I should say also, to share it on Facebook and Twitter and all that! Waterford Chamber has just tweeted it! This could be the greatest comeback since Lazarus!

just voted there and seen that we now have 19% of the votes.

Just voted, Waterford have about 300 where wexford has 900 !!

Max Powers

Voted Waterford and Matt Cooper...free publicity

Jason Todd

I'm afraid to say we're fighting an uphill battle, the yellowbellies have too much of a lead methinks



But keep voting lads, you never know!

Something odd about the votes. Wexfords leads is very suspicious tbh.

Very odd alright.

Just voted but the stats seems a bit skewed. Here is the current poll.

Between this and those 9/11 conspiracy theories I really don't know what to think anymore...

I voted on that only last night and Waterford were way ahead, something funny definitely going on there!!!

Jason Todd

Maybe I'll flag it with Today FM... don't want to be seen as a bad loser though! :pac:

CardBordWindow

I recieved an email yesterday from the Inchydoney Island Hotel (I'd stayed there last year), asking for me to vote for West Cork on the TodayFM Big Holiday. Maybe several businesses in Wexford have done similar?

Waterford people are just not voting. This was shared on a load of popular Waterford websites, Facebook pages, Twitter etc yet only a few hundred votes.

Also, you can vote multiple times from the same computer.

How, in a matter of hours, do Kilkenny significantly jump the lead?

Jason Todd

What. The. F*ck.

Yeah it's a bit mad. Although, I haven't seen any Waterford businesses or any people on my Facebook pushing it so maybe people just don't know about it.

1. Waterford / 20.1%
2. Kilkenny / 34.3%
3. Wexford / 45.6%

See that?! Wexford have 1798 votes, 1798 rebellion anyone? If that's not proof that this is fixed I don't know what it.

mike65

Its a stick up, stitch up, whatever.

or the jungle telegraph works better in Wexford.

Jason Todd

Nice one everyone, we've broken the 1000 votes barrier...

only problem is Wexford have broken the 2000 votes barrier!!

On the plus side we have 22.2% of the vote, our highest yet!

Voting closes at midnight tonight! Keep voting!

nkay1985

Looks like we're a solid 1,000 behind Wexford. It's been that way for a couple of days now.

wellboytoo

145273 population of Wexford
113707 population of Waterford
Might explain some of it.

Jason Todd

That time of the year again lads, ha ha!

This year Tony Fenton's show has Waterford as an option. If you're a fan of T-Bone, or TodayFM or even just Waterford getting free good publicity then give an aul vote here.

Max Powers

voted for T Fenton + Waterford. Chap needs some good Waterford humour as he is battling cancer again. Plays decent music too in fairness to him

Jason Todd

G'wan Waterford! Keep on voting!

hardybuck

When will they close the polls?

Jason Todd

I'm not sure actually, I thought I heard them say it was a Thursday, so maybe this Thursday or next? I'm totally open to correction on that though!

Edit: Thursday 30th May (Midnight) is the closing date!

If you are on a smart phone, you can vote every time you turn it on or off.

Don't tell Limerick

P.S. Please vote for Wexford too. (& Kilkenny if you can push yourselves to that) More tourists in the region is good for us all.

It's IP based. You can turn your phone on and off as much as you want if you're at home but you'll only be able to vote once.
