[Albion] The Fan Advisory Board Thread

How it started …2022
How it’s going…oct 2023

Clearly PB isn’t in favour so it’s just dying a death.

There was meant to be a FAB for under 18s too.

The energy of the Club is towards corporate sponsors, tunnel club members and influencers.

....or, there's genuinely not that much for the FAB to get exercised about because the club get the vast majority of things right in the first place (and those that still rankle - like transport - aren't going to be affected by a few fan reps talking about it).

The kicking the FAB members are getting is incredibly unpleasant.

Posters ought to take a moment on themselves before jackbooting their way through other people's endeavours.

What does this mean?

Eric Hall is finally getting the recognition he deserves?

Think it’s more recognition that they are on a hiding to nothing - there’s no platform

Yeah but it's coming in the form of:-

'I don't mean to be rude and insulting but..'.

Given that the club are clearly open to meeting fan groups, have never said that the FAB is the sole group that they are open to meeting or hearing from and that they pride themselves on engaging with fans - without the need for the govt or PL to regulate . Then those who are dismissive of the FAB on here , consider it ineffectual and still want to lobby the club to change. Then as @attila as often argued - why not organise, protest and change the club yourself be it for safe standing, food, travel , or ticket sharing, pricing and sanctions. Tell us how you're getting on - I'd be interested to hear what you're doing and the progress you're making ?

I don’t have anything to protest or complain about………

I dont think I feel strongly enough about anything to protest so just concentrate on the football. Have to understand PL is all about money and trying to increase income here and round the world. On protest interesting there was big protest at West Ham when wanting to go digital that ended up with them letting people keep cards.

Villa were trending on Twitter yesterday after someone tweeted (then deleted) a letter from 'aston villa staff' to their fan advisory Board seeking their help. I won't go into specifics, because I don't know how legitimate their claims are (others saved the image of the letter and have retweeted it), but they paint a picture of concern (with regard to employment law, which impacted club staff, rather than players) asking their FAB to raise the issue at meetings.

Zero chance any FAB (rightly) would get anything from a PBOBE-type on that other than ‘sorry that’s outside your remit, confidential club business’.

It isn’t. That’s simply your interpretation of.

How many times can someone write 'everything you're doing is pointless, meaningless and worthless' before it reads:-

You're pointless
You're meaningless
You're worthless.

Irrespective where you draw the line it feels like that threshold has been crossed.

Not only that but crossed by people doing nothing, less than nothing, themselves yet still manage to be very vocal.

how about a strongly worded complaint about the lack of subjects to complain about

Dazzer summed up (hiding to nothing/maybe nothing is very wrong that needs representation). Regardless it’s still ok even if people want to criticise/recognise for what it is to date. I wouldn’t get too bothered, nobody’s become abusive or personal about have they? Really it’s a bit meh / nothing to see here. Bit like the FAB itself.

I don’t think the FAB members are getting the access or respect they deserve from the Club.

I also don’t think anyone on here has intended to insult members of the FAB, merely expressed disillusionment due to the Club’s apparent lack of interest in engaging.

As for the club getting the majority of things right in the first place. Maybe. But when they get them wrong they’re an exercise of masking cock ups with perceived integrity.

Agree with this

How about the stale pre-match build up? BIN HEY JUDE and replace with PRAISE YOU. Get the crowd going. Surely this is something FAB could be doing...!
