Aye I would pay for a season tickets for a parking space in the directors car park and all the free food and jollies.
For me a board supporters repersentative is a ordinary Joe who will put views forward for supporters.
Many dont see Barry as a ordinary Joe - he himself has said the he believe he would be invited to be a board member anyway even if he wasnt the trust representative.
So for a lot of people he does not represent the supporters (Trust) but the board are using Baryy to stop a supporter getting into the board room. It is comfortable for the board to have "one of theirs" in the role.
Simples Barry resigns from role a trust representative and is invited by the board to become a member in his own right and a new Trustee is voted at the AGM into the role - then supporters really get two representatives on the board.
