Club launches Fan Advisory Board

[Dave1882]

I've applied...i doubt i'll get anywhere near it. I suspect the people that get chosen will turn up in their Spurs jesters hats and nod along enthusiastically to every bit of lip service they pay.
But on the off chance, i'd be there to represent fans and not myself and would look to hold them to account as much as reasonably possible. I suspect the biggest change the fan board will make, will be a different flavour of crisps for sale!

PR from Levy. Advisory being primary word.

Give advice but nobody will listen.

More chance of persuading Putin to leave Ukraine.

 

[codspur]

We’ve got to get @yankspurs on this

Fuck that I want @Archibald&Crooks on it but only after Donna has read some of his marvellous 'not a fan fiction' that used to open the ITK threads ...the little minx

Did anyone else get the email with the candidates to vote for yesterday?

Genuinely no idea who to go for.

Yes I received as well and no idea who to vote for. They all look great candidates.
Does anyone on here know any of them?

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of candidates. I ended up voting for the lady (Davis?) who was first on the list but it was a close choice between her and the gentleman who was last on the list (Zilken?). Can’t remember their names for certain.

I'm on the Hotspur+ list so have different candidates but having read all their statements I agree, it's hard to choose and I think they'd all do a good job.

Ditto, voted for the sole woman on the list , she sounded very good.

 

[muppetman]

Voted for the lady, but they all seemed decent candidates. Now, will the FAB actually have any influence? My hope is, that if this is just a PR exercise then as these are fans first, they tell us.

 

[SirHarryHotspur]

Every PL club is setting up a FAB , all down to the Tracey Crouch review into football and getting more fan involvement , whether it will work or not is another matter.

Main proposals of fan-led review of English football backed by government

An independent regulator, shadow boards made up of club supporters and a new owners and directors test among recommendations

[tototoner]

I voted for someone but cannot remember who, hope that is useful

 

[superted4]

Think they missed a trick, should have had them do a video. I feel you get more insight into seeing the words been spoken rather then reading plain old text. But i've voted.

 

[eddiev14]

I voted for the first bloke in the list as he seemed to focus more on the football and what the fans want. Pretty sure the club is basically going to ignore them like they do the trust though

I was torn between him and the blonde woman I think it was who both seemed to list good footballing principles they’d want us to stick to and the DNA of the club etc. Some other good points too, all seemed like decent candidates.

I try my very best not to be cynical and think the best of the club but . . .

 

[For the love of Spurs]

the fan advisory board!

 

[SirHarryHotspur]

Virtually every PL club has put up prices this coming season, can anyone name a clubs fan advisory board that has supported the price increases.
Fan advisory boards at every PL club have only come about because of government pressure on the PL due to the football white paper demanding more fan involvement.

Is the tottenham hotspur supporters trust the same as the FAB?

My understanding was that they were separate entities?

Totally separate, but if I'm reading it right they (THST) complaining about the price hikes which presumably went past the FAB, who were ignored.
