Think the Neil Wright experiment showed why it won’t work; supporters want transparency and that’s in direct conflict with the boards role. Have meetings with fan’s groups by all means though.
Good to see another member appointed, especially from the local area.
I reckon the issue with it is more whether the chair/owner genuinely wants someone in that role as a key part of how they run the club, or if it is just a token position to pay lip service to the fans.
