[Albion] The Fan Advisory Board Thread

[Husty]

Honestly, I think if you don't get given a full-board meeting in the next couple of months you should just resign en masse and make a point of doing so on social media, to the FSA etc. This was a nice idea but you're all wasting your time now.

You're being willfully ignored by the club, which obviously isn't buying-in based on Barber's opening comments a few months ago where he says he doesn't think a FAB is needed because of how great he is at listening to fans...

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.

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.

Clearly didn't want to share the good biscuits.

That's frustrating to hear, I'm sorry to read a lot of this, as it seems the FAB are being treated rather poorly.

I am not sure if you're the person to be bringing this to, but what's the chances/protocol for getting a banner made for the City game congratulating Leverkusen on their title win? They did it for us in our promotion season, would be nice to continue that "special relationship" with the fanbase of the new German Champs

Barber doesn’t want any plebs in the board room stinking the place up and ruining the carpets

15 mins!! Good grief, is there actually any point?

 

[Ike and Tina Burner]

15 mins!! Good grief, is there actually any point?

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?

Exactly what Mrs Bold says.

 

[Giraffe]

15 mins? impressive!

15 mins? impressive!

Enough time to do it twice and eat a pizza.

It takes me 10mins to get undressed these days! (5mins if I leave my socks on...)

Sexy

 

[Bold Seagull]

Anyway, hopefully FAB get more done in their 15 mins than I can manage...

So a bit more diversity needed on the FAB and the fans need to shout a bit more. That's all there is to report? No wonder fans don't take it seriously.

What was said in response to Tony's request re match day atmos? Or are any potential ideas in motion?

 

[EliasTaproot]

Can we start with the matchday atmosphere enhancement protocols by getting a banner for Leverkusens title win?

Bloom gives permission to sack off Fanzone

- Seriously, this does need looking at.
- Any update from club as to relocating the away end? Seems to have gone very quiet on this point but note some traction last year I think
