[BFC SITE] REDS ANNOUNCE INAUGURAL FANS ADVISORY BOARD MEETING

The latter not the former but I do like a touch of tabasco on my prawns.

 

Explains alot.

Is there anyone on the board that will remotely even criticise anything the current owners do?

It seems the personnel selected have been very 'carefully' chosen by the club.

 

Only if driving to the game

 

Be reight, you'd gripe no matter who was on panel....

 

Good to put a face to the name Steve, I’ll keeo an eye out for you.

 

My personal thoughts are it's a load of tosh but I'm prepared to give it a chance to work.

From the outside looking in, it doesn't seem like a very diverse set up. Certainly nobody on there that will hold the club to account.

On a serious note, what is the difference between this and the Supporters Trust?

 

The only change I'd suggest to it and I'm not even sure if this is a change really, is that it should be in the groups agreed terms and agreements that nobody on the panel can be removed by the club for going against them or dissenting, only other supporters can vote for their removal.
That may very well already be the situation to be fair. I just like the idea that those on the board/panel can say anything they want and disagree as much as they want without worrying about losing their position or privileges at all.

Also just to clarify, I don't think the club would actually remove anyone for dissenting anyway.

I don't think the club have handpicked people for any reason you suggest. I think it's simply that those who feel closer to the club or the board are more likely to volunteer to help them. That's just life and it's nothing bad about any of them at all

 

This ^^^^^^^.
....and for further clarification ST, you're right. The Club didn't handpick anyone into the Group.

 

The club haven't picked anyone. The committee was selected by the supporters who turned up to the preliminary meetings and who put themselves forward for election among that group.

 

Guilty as charged. If anyone has an issue they want to raise within this remit, feel free to DM me on here, pending the official channels of communication being set up, for which we're reliant on the club.

 

Didn't know anything about it, hence why I thought it was the club that chose the personnel

 

Good luck with your new role, mate.

 

Good luck with your new role, mate.

 

Thanks for the clarification

 

Cheers lad!!

 

I don't remember a beer crate being involved, but I do remember standing on my tiptoes at the front of the West Stand (to the left of the tunnel, looking from the field), and trying to recognize players by their socks and ankles.
My dad was behind me, halfway up the stand with his mates. He knew people on the gate, so I was always lifted over the turnstiles.

 

You could say that I'm not living locally, but I suppose most of my issues would be around iFollow (still awaiting the follow-up email they promised on 03/06 about signing up for the new season), and SYP moving games to midday, so I have to be up at 4:00 PST to watch.
