Is anyone from this forum standing? Also, does anyone know if Frank or Amit are seeking re-election?
Haven't really seen much talk so far about the forthcoming election of fans representatives.

We've tried and tested a few things over the last 20 months or so and there are definitely methods and approaches that'll help improve the efficiency and effectiveness of communication (both online and offline).
However, I'm sure each candidate will have their own idea of what they believe is the best approach or method.

To be honest i can't think of one time where concerns raised on here were picked up by the fans reps and discussed and resolved to our satisfaction. Quite happy to be shot down and I'm sure they have put the hours in but it just doesn't seem if we the fans have a real voice on the board.

I think both Amit and Frank have done good work in various areas.
I would probably question whether this is work that could be categorised as that of a 'supporters representative' though. How has their role differed from the other Hibs supporters who were already on the board? I think part of the problem is/was they are still bound by the same terms of confidentiality as everyone else on the board so perhaps couldn't report back as fully as some expected.
There wasn't a huge turnout with regards to voting last time and I don't see that changing this time. I doubt I'll vote this time.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

I think Frank & Amit have done some sterling work, but I'm still bitterly disappointed and not a little bit stunned at the inaction regarding our last visit to Ibrox.

They are not fans reps but two non executive directors elected by supporters. They carry the same responsibilities as other non executive directors.

So I really dont understand when you say they are club reps and not fans reps. Every fan has a different opinion so there is no way they can convey all of that on the board to all of our satisfaction. Surely the point that matters is that they are fans, on the board, and were elected by the fans?

Anyway I totally understand that there will be differing opinions on the role so I will agree to disagree on the role and bow out.Last edited by Scouse Hibee; 09-01-2017 at 09:35 PM.

The board wouldn't/couldn't accept loose canons shouting the odds and disclosing all sorts to the support about club business.
Like all businesses there is lots of politics involved and the timing and tone of all communications has to be right.
As such the supporters representative arrangement doesn't work how supporters would like it to and never will.
Hopefully it will improve as it develops but i wouldn't hold your breath.

Answers are at a premium if any at all that i can remember.
Both have been seen out and about representing the board in promotions and the likes, xmas dinners and all that come to mind.
Neither in my opinion have been very good at communications with the fans, and thats why i say club reps not fans reps.

To be honest if the HSA could continue to improve relations with the club then maybe that's part of the way forward even if not everyone is an HSA member - dunno?
Interesting times when we get a meaningful and influencing share of the club into Fans / HSL hands.

In fact I had to email one rep twice to get any kind of acknowledgement...got an acknowledgement, but never got a response though.
In the end I emailed Leann direct and got a response, so I can only say that my only request for them to actually do something was not a positive experience for me, and therefore makes me wonder if they are anything other than an additional resource for the club, carrying out tasks other directors prefer not to do. (eg attending funerals etc)
In their defence, probably both them AND the club have benefited from the 'first time' syndrome and will maybe be a bit more expansive on what the expectations are of them.
I agree though, anyone who fills the role MUST provide regular on line updates...the communication has, unfortunately, been abysmal, and quite why this has been the case, I do not know.
