Fan's Forum
Saturday saw the announcement of the new Fan's Forum. If you didn't see the programme or the article on the OS, then it is here:
Fan's ForumThe panel will consist of five fans plus Steve Waggott, two PLC directors and other senior directors and managers as the agenda dictates.
The five fans will be made up of three elected season-ticket holders, plus one
CADSA representative and as originally promised an overseas fan, to be used as a point of contact. This person will have the opportunity to feed items into the agenda to be discussed at meetings and receive feedback.
The supporter representatives will serve one-year rolling terms and should expect to dedicate a lot of time to the project. Unfortunately the rep's remit will not cover playing matters, and they will not have an input into team selection, tactics or the selection of playing or the football management staff. Well that rules me out. If Yassin's in then I'm in, if he's not, then me neither.
Seriously though, credit to the new leadership for putting this on the table, I know previous Fans Director Ben Hayes had a lot of input into this as well, and it is now up to all of us to make it work, although it is too early to understand how the forum will develop and what media is used to make the forum as vibrant, creditable and accessible as possible.
