Welcome to the "Official" Brighton & Hove Albion - Fan Advisory Board - North Stand Chat thread.
The idea of this thread is for it to be the place where members of the FAB update the great and the good of NSC with what the FAB are up to and for fans to contribute their ideas and comments. It is intended to replace the other thread, which will no longer be monitored.
You can read elsewhere who the current members of the FAB are? and what has happened since the summer of 2022 when the first FAB was formed. For example there's the FAB's own website Brighton & Hove Albion Fan Advisory Board and the FAB page on the club website Brighton & Hove Albion (brightonandhovealbion.com) where you can also see the minutes of all the meetings since 2022.
The terms and conditions under which the FAB operate include all aspects of what happens at Brighton & Hove Albion except anything related to what goes on on the pitch itself. This means we have nothing to say about the team, individual players, referees or VAR.
We are sometimes entrusted with confidential information, and to maintain the trust of the club and the integrity of the FAB we will not divulge such detail here or anywhere else.
We are concerned with all aspects of your matchday experience. This means everything that affects your day whether you are travelling to The Amex or to see the Women at Crawley, whether young or old, or suffering from a disability be that visible or otherwise. We discuss topics including travel, catering and your safety in and around the stadium.
We are not some sort of appeals panel, but we can make representations on behalf of groups of fans but not individuals. Individual issues should always be addressed to Supporter Services, either by phone or email SupporterServices@brightonandhovealbion.com
We always try and challenge the club respectfully, whilst recognising that they are trying to maintain a high Premier League position and, despite what some people think, there are not limitless funds and they are trying to generate revenue to help with their objectives. And bear in mind there is very rarely a single opinion shared by everyone, so it maybe that the position taken by the club or the FAB may well differ, and one or other might not match yours.
This will not be the only communication channel of course ( we also have twitter [x] @FanBoardBHAFC , the website and other informal face to face comms) but we do aim to post here our weekly meeting notes. If we don't have a meeting there will be some sort of update. All members of the FAB can potentially post, so it will be better to add to the thread rather than send a PM. FAB members posting here will identify themselves in the post.
If you want to send a message to the FAB without posting here, perhaps because it is confidential, you can do so by sending an email to Fan AdvisoryBoard@brightonandhovealbion.com
Thanks for your interest in the FAB, and please remember the FAB members are just Albion fans who put their hands up when asked, to try and make following The Albion even more amazing than it already is.
