If it was even remotely like those numbers at the other meetings it does start to add up. Plus, if you look at the letters pages in the Acc Obs there are as many for as there are against.
Even when Accrington Web started up a campaign to email me at work in protest, I only received 10 emails - you have a membership on here of over 2,000.

That figure for the Town Hall meeting represents 0.001% of the population of Accrington (35,000 - HBC).
Although the site claims 2000 members they are actually split along several lines, so the regulars in General Chat category usually number around thirty or so.
