I'm getting a bit tired of this...

"give us the money and we'll get on the board" thing.

Sure, the idea of a fans' representative on the board is all well and good in principle.

However, knowing how myself, my brother and my father all disagree on various aspects of how the club is run, I just don't think it's practical to think that this sort of representation on the board will make a huge difference to the club itself, and it certainly won't be representing the views of every fan to the boardroom.

I think, really, that we've got to go for the double-your-money approach and give the money to the club and let Foulger match it.
