I think its clear that a fans rep on the board just isnt workable.Due to confidentiality and toeing the party line, its clear that the role is very minimal in what they can feedback to fans.I still believe there should be a conduit between the board and fans though.Perhaps having a fans rep thats not a board member is the better option.They can still liase with the fans and have meetings with board members, but be able to report on those discussions without the hinderence of corporate governance.This would show the club is actively engaging the fans and carrying on the good work that has already taken place
