Give them the BOD, and trust that they are motivated by doing their best for all stakeholders, until it becomes evidently clear they're not. You can be passionate in this way, much like Hardwick was, and that's a much better way of using passion than spouting baseless, negative ill informed drivel on talk back IMO
That's good you feel that way Paul
But you won't get that across the board.
You can only dictate your own behaviour.
You can't tell people how to support or what is 'good supporting' and 'bad supporting'.
They just won't listen to you, and it's a behaviour you won't change.
With over 80,000 members and probably twice as many supporters you'll get a huge range of behaviour.
For every supporter who says "They're our boys, we have to support them through thick and thin" you'll get the 'Snapper'
But at the end of the day when they hold the cup up, there will be little difference in the joy each group are feeling.
