Fan Rep Interview - Rangers Statement & Loyalty Points

[FitbaFolkKen]

It’s been said that the fans rep can’t represent everyone’s opinion but they could certainly provide an informed opinion of the reaction of the fan base to certain actions.

For example(I know this has happened) if we take away “Behind the Goals” how do you think that would be received? Then that could be something the reps focus on for a couple of months garnering feedback for the board and presenting it. The support is never going to agree 100% however the reps should be able to provide enough information to let the board make an informed decision. Then if the decision is taken at least the board can acknowledge the concerns of those that didn’t agree and explain why they chose that course of action.

I don’t so much see it as being a thorn in the side of the board but bringing to the attention the overall views of the fan base and communicating more effectively with us. Highlighting things such as safety issues that were raised at Tynecastle. While something like that might not need a statement it could be addressed at forums or monthly Q&A’s. A monthly blog from one of them “the fans view from the boardroom” would be something online and accessible to everyone. We have Hibs Tv that could run a behind the scenes monthly 10/15 minute where fans questions are answered. We have lots of tools that could be used to engage the fans without requiring in person attendance. Last consistent stream of information would stop something like the podcast being a deluge of questions although it is exactly the type of engagement I would be looking for.

I still think it is a positive move but as mentioned already it needs defined to be more effective.
