I voted NO in its current guise, as it feels completely pointless.
I do think an engagement panel is a great idea in principle, and I’d like to see the Trust represented on it along with supporter groups covering all parts of the fan base. But it has to be transparent.
The members who attend should be there to put forward the views of their groups, listen, and engage with the club - and that process should be broadcast and accessible to all.
I’m not sure how much real engagement happens at most clubs to be fair, but as usual we seem to be managing it worse than everyone else.
It should be a great way to connect with the whole fan base, to develop the relationship and build a proper community around the club - the clue is in the name. I don’t like everything being hidden away nor the mini-fiefdoms forming around those who attend. It should be about and for all fans. Obviously it’s not practical to have everyone in the room, and the format seems fine in principle, but the visibility needs to be for all of us.
That’s all theory though - in reality, we’re a million miles away from that. So voted NO.
