Well done for doing this, but I got 20 mins in and gave up. The two fans reps are nothing of the kind. Giving reasons for making decisions isn’t what I’m looking for. Their role is to represent fans, not to do what’s best for the club, either financially or politically. We already have a board for that.
I really fail to understand the point of a fans rep. They’re not board members elected by fans, they’re fans elected by other fans to voice our opinion to the board.
What a complete waste of time.
United we stand here....

These are two individuals who dont understand the complexity of the matters they are asked to dealand are rather out of their depth and comfort zone.
They have no idea of what their role is
which is meant to represent the fan viewpoint not their own personal viewpoint nor blindly parrot the views of the board.
I actually giggled on occasion especially when Frank seemed to bang his fist on the desk.
I switched off before the end but after hearing Tracey say at the AGM she "speaks to Frank every day at the stadium cos naebody else speaks to me" then I wasn't expecting much.
This pair have sent fan representation back to the dark ages as they are everything fan reps should not be.
Credit to the guys who set this up though as they were fair questions well presented and edited.Last edited by The Baldmans Comb; 09-01-2018 at 10:50 PM.

The club have to put an end to this fans rep nonsense asap.

Time they were gone. Then we can get back to everyone telling the Chairman of the Hibernian Supporters Association to shut it. I always preferred that.

There is no fan viewpoint as a quick glance at any of the threads on here show.There are far too many individuals who confuse their viewpoint on a subject as”the fans viewpoint”.The idea should be scrapped .Any fan who feels strongly about something can raise it with the club.

Both fans reps certainly appear to toe the party line. They should be a constant thorn in the boards side asking questions and demanding answers on behalf of the fans.

The experiment was worth a shot but I don't see the benefit.
I'd have no problem if the club board simply wanted to appoint a fan as a bona fide board member but the rep role seems to be nearing an end for me.
Reading through this, it's disappointing that anyone would want to personalise criticism of people who plainly have Hibs interests at heart.

I've got no problem with either of the reps, but I think they've got a totally thankless task.
FWIW I think there probably should be a 'fans rep' of some sort on the board, but that persons job should be solely to act as a point of contact between the ordinary fan and the club's management - frequently on here there'll be a thread with someone asking for LD's contact details so they can raise some point or other, I always think that direct 1 to 1 interaction with the fans isn't really what LD should be doing with her time, that for me is what a fan's rep should be for. Just a point of contact, not someone who is meant ot campaign on fans behalf or be some sort of allknowing guru on the wider fanbase's opinions on everything.

IMO - a ***** position for both reps to be put in. I feel for them.
Gonnae someone stick a pillow under Frank's paw next time there's an interview though :)
