Next FAB meeting

[Brazilian Villain]

My ears are ringing at the claret & blue....

The meeting ended at around 8.30 last night. You can't really expect Lee to go home and type up the minutes then so it has to be done today, amongst all his other work.

I never said he should. But at every single one of the last few meetings, minutes haven't released until the club have said so, and given their go ahead as to how it's reported. The fans don't need notes of the meeting produced by the club, the group should report back directly as they see fit, and when they see fit.

The group also have lives.

It would probably be announced via a meme or a TikTok reel too.

Chris Heck sitting at his desk...
"Alexa, where is Villa Stadium ?"
"Marston Green" is the reply.

This will sound strange but I have this creeping dread we will get these one day and it will say they are moving us to a new stadium. Imagine it. Urgh.

"The Club are delighted to announce the purchase of a prime site in South Birmingham with excellent transport links to both road, rail and air"

The Club should announce the hiring of a copywriter too, then, because “both” can not refer to three things.

Jesus. I'm not bothered by the timescale of the minutes being reported. I don't think I could really have explained it any more clearly to be honest.

Ha!

(I am available if the club needs a copywriter.)

I would love to see some more of our successes in the players tunnel. I did the tour recently and couldnt believe when we did the tunnel part no images of past players success on the walls just the left side lion. Something for them to think about to make it abit more  intimidating for opposition teams

[Somniloquism]

I still don't see what on earth gives them the right to insist on any sort of embargo, or to have to give the OK to the minutes of the meeting.

I don't think there is an embargo. As for giving the OK, what happens if someone totally misheard something and posted out the wrong thing in the minutes? Surely the club are only confirming the minutes are what was discussed and not someone stating something that didn't happen. These minutes will probably also be used in the next press conference with the manager as well so nice to be warned about something incoming depending how they are written.

The new stand was meant to play host to a new dressing rooms and player tunnel in the corner complete with see through VIP area above it. The existing tunnel was to be filled in as part of the Trinity's expanded seating capacity.

As with everything else we had planned for the development, who knows where any of this is now at.

He definitely doesn't have a life.

I'd say that it's a two-way process, that all present would want to ratify; particularly the club. If people go shooting their mouths off, then the trust will have gone and less would be said.

[ChicagoLion]

It would not be the first time that minutes of a meeting have  no relation to what was actually discussed.

What like last time, when the club basically said that that the FAB group were happy with the new badge, and the Trust came out and said actually, that's bollocks?

[LeeB]

Risso is being demanding, which should be applauded.

[Demitri_C]

Yeah nothing wrong with putting a it of pressure on.  Think he has raised some valid points personally
