So far I know 2 of the 12 members
Salfordfaithful
Hitmanhandle

These are there twitter names, good choices if you ask me. Anyone else on here made it as 1 of the 12?

I thought Salford Faithful was Louise or Red City Girl and that she'd had a spat with the Doc?

Brilliant idea, I just hope the people who are chosen don't start any infighting.

The 12 just men

Different Lou isn't it?

Good luck and well done to all those willing to give up of their time.

I actually have a bad feeling about this. I think its a great idea on paper but in practice I doubt it will work. Its basically going to be perceived as those *enter offensive word* who run SalfordFaithful versus us "The Scarlet Turkey Crew". Now don't get me wrong, I dont agree with those generalised groupings but I feel as if Its the way it will be viewed. Also, can anyone actually see Marwan not losing his sanity if hes sat in a boardroom with some of our fans? Like I say, Im for this in principle but I have a feeling it will dissolve and be forgotten about as the fans on the board will have no real authority.

12 good men & true......

I can't get the picture out of my mind of Tony Hancock as foreman of the jury asking "Magna Carta, did she die in vain?"

It's a great idea if the right people are chosen. Pick the wrong people and it will be like one flew over the cuckoos nest...

There lies the crux, I do honestly think it's a brilliant idea but I worry what sort of an informed opinion you can make on someone's one paragraph submission.

I take it you didn't throw your hat in are kid

It really needs to be a good cross section of support, and lets hope it is.

The rest of us need to give this a chance. There's no point labelling people attention seekers or botherers before the group has even been announced or met - I dare say good people haven't applied precisely because they didn't want that label.

At this stage all we know is that this group will be choosing the new kit - we don't know if that will be starting with a blank canvas or asking them to chose between 2 or 3 options. Beyond that we haven't heard anything about what they will do - whether they will be a sounding board for ideas, whether they will be asked to consult and come up with ideas, or whther they would actually have any decision making remit in any area.

I've always been an advocate of fan involvement in the running of sports clubs so we'll see how its done. I hope they sort out clear terms of reference so everybody knows how it is supposed to work. The main thing that could affect credibility is that "supporters reps" have been chosen by the club and not the supporters.

The only sensible way forward,is for the club to select the " board "
You really would have problems if done otherwise.
Faction A would accuse faction B of being aloof,and perhaps only favouring their agendas.
Faction C would accuse faction D of engineering a particular person onto the " board "
Faction E would be thought to not attending meetings,and so it may well go on.
I suspect whilst in principal it is a good idea reality may well be different.

I think this has been handled the right way.
As Lou Kate rightly opines, any other system of choosing would be fraught with difficulty.
It's been said that a one page email is no way to select. It's as good as any.
I suspect it will be a cross section so it won't upset or please everybody.
The really good news is that there will be 12 people with a better insight into what's going on than ever before,and who will have an opportunity to put forward their ideas.
It's impossible to run anything by committee ,though,so there will still only be one decision maker and I'm happy with that.

No it isn't me.

Salford faithful is Louie

I hope it's a good mixture of all fans and that they are listened to

Well done to those that haven’t been chosen. I don’t know anybody who has been, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it was those who bombard Koukash and Vickers on Twitter.

Hopefully as has been mentioned above, it’s a mixture of fans across a range of ages and backgrounds.
