I rarely post here, so a lot of you might not know me, and I've not made a song and dance about being selected to sit on the fans advisory panel.

However, in the spirit of transparency, here goes......

My name is Rob and I work in education in Leeds. Prior to this I was a sports journalist and still have work published sporadically as a freelance writer. I've also been involved with establishing and running three community rugby league clubs. I applied for the advisory panel as I thought I might be able to provide some insight based on the three areas listed above.

I'm happy to act as a conduit for feedback for other fans and am happy to communicate via PM or email. Alternatively, feel free to collar me in the fans bar.

Cheers

Rob

That's fair enough

I think every member of the board has every right to (a) keep it to themselves or (b) advertise the fact that they are a member of the board. I'm sure most of the members will have a genuine interest in seeing Salford move forward as a club. I don't think either way prohibits them adding value to their inclusion on the board.
I do think however there should be a way for fans on this forum to post questions and ideas to be considered by the board. This should be kept for questions only and not general discussion. Discussions could be spawned to other threads. I like many other do not partake in the social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter.
Perhaps we could have a Sticky on the forum to allow this to happen (Mods?). This could be refreshed after every meeting with answers that have been cleared to be public knowledge. Obviously some points won't be for public consumption and should be kept private.

This seems to be a good starting point.

As I've previously made clear, I'm more than happy to make representations on behalf of other supporters; that's what I'm there for.

Email works best for me (Iain has my contact details) or you can simply seek me out on match day in the supporters bar.

I looked for wise people carrying posh newspapers with a flower in their lapel but didn't see anyone.

Can I suggest that the mods launch a sticky on here for suggestions and that if one of the mods is one of the chosen ones that they create a spurious account for people like myself to send a pm as I have no desire for the numpties who hate for hatings sake to pick holes in any suggestions someone might have.
