….at significant cost, and for the benefit of a lucky and affluent 200 or so (how many loyalty points needed to bag a seat ?? 🤣)

Comparatively - Leverkusen have organised a fan group lead charter to Baku - €500 return or €530 if not a member of their group (which costs about €20 a year).
Given return flights direct to Baku were about £500 anyhow - rather competitive offering

Dear FAB

Provably been asked many times before but if so I’ve forgotten or missed it.

Please can the parking season ticket be reinstated, even just a few hundred spaces for the most loyal Parkers at the Bridge. It would save a lot of anxiety and stress.

How would they know who the most 'loyal parkers' are? That just means that they're the ones who are fastest to book their space. Just to point out that I have no stake in this as I much prefer to walk through all the mud in Stanmer Park after getting off the bus. I just thought I'd start the argument. ;)

I used the term “loyal Parkers” very loosely and didn’t mean to confuse. I just meant that they could offer say 250 spaces at the beginning of the season on a first come first served basis. I doubt there are that many who would want to pay and commit up front but for people who have to travel a distance it would be a god send.

Does seem odd that there is no season ticket parking option when the majority of those parking must be regulars?

Would happily purchase a parking season ticket if available

Any idea how much they used to cost?

The last season a parking ST was available (I think) was 2019/20 and cost £250 for 19 league matches, just over £13 per match.
It stopped because of dear old farmer Bennett!

Dear Timba,
We shall do no such thing. Lots of anxiety and stress is all part of the value offering being part of the PL entails. Please suck it up, along with inconvenient times and constant fixture changes. Your statutory rights as a football fan remain unaffected ie you have none.

Yours, (positively up)
FAB, DAB & DOZY

Ps we have added a £1.50 answering fee to cover the cost of this correspondence.

So I am a non-person. :flypig:

Just because the last game I went to was over 15 years ago :drama:

Strange 95 applicants for the FAB vacancies , but only 23 people registered for the webinar. I would have thought that if you were serious about joining you would have tuned in to gain a greater understanding of the workings if the FAB and to gain an insight into current issues.

Anyway an interesting read and hopefully progress can be made on the issues raised.

Agree……also surprised 23 is seen as ‘encouraging’ given our STH/A+ membership base.

Is 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?
