I don’t know any more than what the above saysIs it still the same set up where Supporters vote for their preferred candidate and then it goes to the Club to decide who gets invited?

23?! Out of a STH and membership pool of probably 30k?Agree……also surprised 23 is seen as ‘encouraging’ given our STH/A+ membership base.
Pity that despite wanting more younger representation, the shortlist actually has a higher % of over 55s than applied.............The new FAB shortlisting process has been completed and submitted to the club
New FAB - Shortlisting complete - Brighton & Hove Albion Fan Advisory Board
Entries closed for candidates wishing to join the FAB for next season on April 1st It was a terrific response, with 130 fans putting their names forward. We thought that fans might be interested to know the make up of the age range and sex of the candidates. Of the 130 candidates, 87% were male, […]bhafc-fab.co.uk
But this is just the shortlist. It's up to everyone to vote.Pity that despite wanting more younger representation, the shortlist actually has a higher % of over 55s than applied.............
Thanks for posting these minutes.Weekly meeting minutes posted in the NEWS section here
Good questions BrianThanks for posting these minutes.
I note that the meeting with the club’s board has now been postponed quite a few times.
A couple of questions on that, if you don’t mind:
1) Has there been any reason(s) given for these postponements and why the club would now seemingly prefer a Zoom meeting?
2) During the lifespan of the FAB so far, has a meeting taken place at all with the club’s board?
Barry, a genuine thanks for your enthusiasm and time you spend on this, i really hope the club don’t see your group as a necessary irritant that now and again will grace you with their interest?Good questions Brian
1) There have been various reasons for the postponements. No reason not to think they are legit, but equally there will obviously have been full board meetings during this period, just none that included the FAB section. We've pushed back on the Zoom call as seen in the notes.
2) No
Thanks for these minutes.Notes from this evening's FAB meeting are now on the FAB website

Thank you for your interest.Thanks for these minutes.
You said previously that you'd be pushing back against the idea of the FAB attending a Zoom meeting, rather than an in-person one. It appears there's now an acceptance that the Zoom one will happen instead. May I ask what changed in terms of your collective stance? Additionally, it would appear that the board want to know exactly what you're going to be saying (in terms of presentation and notes). This doesn't seem a particularly open approach in terms of the basis for a useful discussion, so I wondered if you were pushing back against that too?
Many thanks.
Clearly didn't want to share the good biscuits.Thank you for your interest.
We did push back at a zoom meeting. But they stuck to their position and our 15 minutes will be by zoom this afternoon.
Thank you for your interest.

I'm guessing there's also a preamble at the start and end of these meetings so I wonder how much actual discussion time there is? 30 seconds?15 mins!! Good grief, is there actually any point?
