Much as I expected to be. It's a closed shop and self-perpetuating clique.
I stood in response to an email plea from a member which disclosed very worrying information about the operation of Club 1872.
I was debarred on two grounds -
1/ that one, or perhaps more, of my proposers had not been paying for six months continuously into Club 1872.
2/ That some of my tweets were "homophobic, ableist, obscene and abusive"
I asked for the name(s) of the ineligible proposer(s) and examples of the social media posts.
They did not give me a note of the ineligible proposer(s) but did provide links to five tweets - all of which I'm quite prepared to stand by on the basis of the context in which they were made, the content or indeed that two of them are quite clearly humorous and directed to people I know personally.
I have been made aware of one other member who has similarly been disbarred from standing despite his track record of service in fans groups/media.
