Seems to me an overly complicated communication mechanic here. There don't appear to be official minutes (assuming the meeting is chaired by the club). Roverstrace writes her own minutes down, which she is not obliged to do. Some people see them, if they have access to the unofficial forum. Easty then agrees to act as a go between for Roverstrace's unofficial minutes and the people who use RLfans. Would it not just make sense to post the official minutes on the website, then no one could complain they didn't know what was going on? Seems to be very emotive, when all it is is some fans giving up their time for free and giving input on things that they would like to see changed.
Suppose it depends how the steering group is meant to work, is it a fans comitee which is there for the fans to have a voice and input into the way the club is being run and almost a mini (selective) fans forum or is it
a focus group used by the club to gauge fan feeling and to bounce ideas off. I personally think its the latter and the fans forums are the mechanism for genuine airing of views by the fan base. I agree the minutes would be a good read for the fans but I do believe this would then make the steering group members into a fans representative which is not what they signed up for. The original request was just for cross section of fans who would attend.
That's a pretty good description. Those chosen from the original 200 applicants were chosen on a basis of age, sex and where they sit/stand in the ground, to give a good cross-section of supporters who attend games, there are also people who live out of town which adds another interesting perspective.
