Fair enough. I'd have offered if it was the former not the latter.

Not because I'm arrogant enough to think I'd have made a difference, but just to go and try. And I'd have enjoyed the battle.

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.

And the truth will out !

Well done, it’s an absolute farce. Thank you for your efforts in the past.

My thoughts exactly.

Same, thanks Dave. You've been a voice for the fans, and clearly certain people within the club aren't too arsed about us anymore. I don't blame you.

Thanks for everything that you did with the FAB Dave. It’s a sad day when, during our 150th year the club have turned their back on their core supporters.

It’s not that long ago when we were languishing in a lower division and still many of us backed the club by turning up week in week out to see a poor team. Now that things have improved far beyond what we thought we could achieve we have been marginalised to the extent that I suspect that traditional fans are an annoyance to them and they wish we’d go away.

Can you disclose any details from the meeting if the club can’t/won’t?

Thanks for all the time and effort you have put into the FAB meetings, it certainly is a sad state of affairs when the club alienate people like yourself who only has the best interest of the club and fans at heart

Unai Emery is absolutely critical to all aspects of this club. He is basically holding the club together. What are the Board playing at

There are only 2 members on the Board of Directors for our Football club, these are the owners - so are you saying that you want the owners out of our football club?

I agree the off field issues do need sorting and I am sure that there are alot of employees of the club working hard trying to sort out these issues, but surely we do not want Nas or Wes out of our club?

Dave are you considering writing a resignation letter to the owners explaining your position?

It was late, I was half asleep.

Chris Heck has been let run amok over the past year and I wish somebody would stop him

Edit. Heck has been my focus but I am increasingly turning my gaze at whomever he reports into.

Dave's decision is exactly what they want. One less voice of opposition to what they are doing off the field.

We're all slowly getting the message, but one day we will suddenly become of value again, from a footballing perspective not too soon I hope but likely to coincide with a change of Manager, many will have moved on and will say no thanks.

It continues to be a great shame and once again proves that community, love, respect, a sense of togetherness, camaraderie and generations of devotion are of no value whatsoever in society where the unquenchable thirst for capital is concerned.

Is it really all worth it?

Dave is it because you can't be arsed with them/it any more or because you don't want H&V to be part of it any more?

Both.

Do you get the feeling that other members of the FAB would make a similar principled decision or is the group full of individuals who no matter what 💩 is trawled out by the club will attend because they feel ‘privileged’?

It probably needs the entire group to resign en masse with a proper, well structured statement listing the grievances….although I still sense whilst we are winning on the pitch some will make all the excuses in the world for disgusting management techniques.
