Fans Advisory Board

As of now H&V are no longer represented on the FAB. It serves no purpose and frankly I've got better things to do with my time.

No surprise there Dave

[Somniloquism]

No surprise really. I expect it is another reason for Preece to leave as well, especially with those latest rumours of the minutes being ....erm..... tempered more for the club.

[AV82EC]

I'm always loathe to shut down communication lines with anyone if there's a problem, but I get a real sense that the club are in total denial at the moment about the fans disquiet on a range of matters. If Dave has reached the end of his tether then it seems there's little point in continuing.

Good decision Dave…there is nothing to be gained from it, the day consultation became advisory the purpose went. 

[SaddVillan]

The rumbling of discontent with the off field shenanigans is just growing.

Is anybody listening?

[Pat Mustard]

I know these things are often difficult when there are different factions involved, but is there any way of getting the various fan groups who have resigned from the FAB to draw up some kind of joint statement? The press were already aware of the problems occurring between club and fans after the ticket price and Arsenal debacles - something needs to draw attention to just how bad relations between the club and fans have got. The fact there are thousands of empty seats now at games despite the on-field success just shows Villa are getting things seriously wrong currently.

good idea

[pauliewalnuts]

The club aren't arsed in the slightest about feedback coming from the fans. That nonsense about the toilets problem having been escalated to the owners was a great example, make it sound like it was a result of fan feedback rather than what it really was - loads of people posting videos and photos of disgusting toilets on twitter and tagging Heck in.

Fuck them, I trust Heck and his acolyte Hatton about as far as I can throw them.

Out of interest what was the straw that broke the camels back?

You're absolutely right. They believe everything's fine and a few minor problems at the match are someone else's fault.

[Toronto Villa]

This is really disappointing. How is there such a divide between Emery who never misses an opportunity to thank the fans and make us feel a part of the success and the board who off the pitch don't seem to view things at all the same way. It almost makes me think Emery is working extra hard on what he says because of the other non football related stuff impacting supporters.

Club are only interested in compliance and they want fan reps to be compliant. It’s ineffective and there is no point in giving credence to a shambolic process.

[pauliewalnuts]

The only reason they do it at all is because the Premier League rules mean they have to.

Indeed.
