The minutes of the first FAB meeting details all the fan representatives (who all serve for 3 years) and who was elected as Co Chair of the FAB and to Chair each FCC Working Group (all chair roles are for the first year) https://assets.ctfassets.net/0wcpt07qzvlh/6t3siNTTgPa9LXlLoP8mwr/b93130f82bc33121d96496681b3762a1/Fan-Advisory-Board-Meeting-One-.pdf

That is completely incorrect. Annually the Trust Chair meets with the LCFC Finance Director prior to the publication of the annual accounts and has the opportunity to ask questions Prior to that meeting, an advanced copy of the accounts is supplied to the Trust Chair, who shares them with the full Trust board to enable questions to be compiled, which the Chair then raises with the LCFC FD. The Trust board is then briefed after the meeting, however some of the information shared during that discussion may stay confidential, so will not be revealed further than Trust board level. The club usually post an article on their website about the accounts, which are readily available on Companies House, if the club doesn't provide a direct link

As stated in the article 6 in total, therefore this wasn’t significant to the overall result https://foxestrust.co.uk/11529/agm-resolution-ballot-result For posters who haven’t clicked the link, please note…. Whilst the Board realises the result will be a disappointment to some Members, we hope the action we are taking illustrates a willingness to change and improve our governance procedures. Given the number of members that voted in favour of the Resolution, the Board has decided to take action to amend the Society Policies to enable Members to hold those elected to the Board to be more accountable in between the three-year periods of office. This possible course of action was discussed at the AGM. The Football Supporters’ Association (FSA) has been engaged to undertake a governance review of all of the Trusts Policies and procedures. At present, a Board Member can only be removed by a majority vote of the Board. The Board will draft and seek FSA approval for policy amendments that will provide Members with protocols and processes for holding Board Members to account, with the possibility of removal. So the board has listened to members and will make changes which addresses the issues raised by the motion but not in a way that could be rejected by the FCA and is approved as best practice by the FSA

No it isn’t true If we had the membership number or the full name of the person voting they could be verified and the vote was counted However for example if the person just put “Steve” and we have 11 members on the database called Steve, there was no way we could verify who was voting, so the vote was discounted.

If you placed a vote & the survey monkey software confirmed it on screen, then it has been recorded. If you try to access again the Survey Monkey software will state a vote has already been placed. We could not filter out members who had voted as the vote is recorded within survey monkey, the database would record the link to the survey had been accessed but not that the vote had been completed, hence the reminder being sent to all members.

They should not do this, but contact us as above instead, as it may indicate an issue on their membership record with other communication from the Trust not being received, so we want to check the database record and resolve for all comms for the future. The most common issue is unintentional unsubscribe options being clicked on previous e-mails, in which case we have to contact the member to confirm e-mails are still required to follow GDPR

Not every board member checks their e-mails daily and with the match tonight, its possible no reply will arrive today, but there is another week before the voting closes, so we will come back to you in plenty of time for you to vote. In any other member who posts on here have not received an e-mail, we have posted Vote of the Membership Underway – Foxes Trust

You need to do the new online vote The email was sent directly from the membership system, if you haven’t yet received it let us know & we will check the database, as you recently received the previous email it would seem strange that you wouldn’t receive this one.

Zoom link has been sent out to those who requested a link for tonight's online meeting access. Please contact [email protected] if you haven't received it after checking your spam / junk etc.

Did anyone who had purchased a ticket get any emails directly to you telling you about it being a) postponed and b) re-arranged? Or did you only see it on socials? People are telling us they've had no notifications. If you haven't had an email, and need a refund, email [email protected] or call 03448255000 (option 1) before 12pm on Weds.

We've not acknowledged them, will send link soon. Will post on here when they've gone out so you can check you've got it.

Same as last week when they posted about buying tickets on the Sunday....and there were none left. We emailed Jim and asked for them to open another block, which they did on the Monday. I presume it's automated posts set up before 5pm Friday that they don't then think to check if they're still OK by Sunday? Needs addressing. Is anyone going to the Euros 2025 in Switzerland? A few of us are going over and starting to plan soon. We've tickets for the England v Wales game and the SFs and Final so far. Get in touch on here or via email [email protected], would be good to see who's planning on going. If enough interest, will start a thread or Whatsapp group nearer the time.

FOXES TRUST AGM 2025 on 13th January at 7.30pm, physically at the KP Stadium and online via Zoom. AGM packs have been emailed to Trust members. Please check your junk/spam if you cannot see it as a lot of providers block mail outs. If you haven’t received it, please contact [email protected]. Some paper copies will be available on the night. Deadline for members to register proxy votes is 7.30pm tonight, Sat 11th Jan. Send any proxy vote requests to: [email protected]. Deadline for members to register for online access to the AGM via Zoom has been extended to 7.30pm tonight, Sat 11th Jan, due to the forecast of continued poor weather for Monday. To ask for a Zoom link please email: [email protected]. If you’re coming along on Monday night to the KP, please let us know so we can cater for numbers of hot drinks. Thanks.

You should have all had an email now if you are a Trust member (and we have your email address), with a link to the AGM pack: Agenda, minutes of last year, & accounts.

There will be further discussions at the Fans Consultative Committee Working Groups on January 22nd, but not sure how quickly the information will be widely available, the minutes of those meetings tend to be published several weeks later.

Lynn here (Co-Chair) A reminder will be going out soon about Monday’s AGM to Trust members along with an AGM pack so members can see the papers in advance of the meeting. Please watch out for it and let me know if you do not get it by Sunday evening. If you are a Trust member and are wanting to join the meeting online on Monday (via Zoom) please email [email protected] before the end of play today and you’ll be sent the link before Monday’s meeting. If you’re attending in person, it would be great if you could let us know in advance just so we have a rough idea of numbers for tea/coffee etc. We’ll check members off as they arrive, and the club just needs numbers for fire evacuation purposes. Club staff understand that they are not to attend the meeting discussions this year. Regarding the data protection query, I’m not sure I’ve seen anything other than data Daggers himself posted? If there are any concerns from anyone about how their personal data has been processed unfairly though, please email me on [email protected]. All of the proxy requests that have been received by the Trust Secretary to date are also being seen by myself and Steve (Co-Chair). Thank you to everyone mailing in and wanting to take part. We are aware of the feedback on the response that the Trust Secretary sent out and we will be discussing it at the first board meeting after the AGM, which we hope to hold before the end of January. Anyone still wanting to send a proxy vote, get it in by end of play today if possible please! (Absolute deadline 7.30pm Saturday.) Memberships received after office hours today won’t be able to be processed before the AGM, but we hope people will continue to join afterwards as we grow a movement that the club listens to. Looking forward to seeing people on Monday.

You should have received emails on Nov 13th & Dec 17th about the AGM & elections. If you haven't received these, please e-mail [email protected] so we can check your database record, as further communication about the AGM will be sent later this week The same request applies to any other member if they did not receive the above e-mails

The Fan Engagement Framework plan is now back on track, as the second FAB meeting was held in November and the next FCC Working Group meeting is scheduled for January, so the slight delays in the summer, to ensure the method for establishing the FAB fan reps had the full involvement of both the Trust and the FSA was achieved which was our prime concern at that time. The FSA have stated they were happy with the process used and its now being looked at by other clubs.

Tickets on general sale for the QPR, Palace and Fulham games. £15 adults ticket for QPR. Large amount of tickets available in all areas of the ground. QPR have taken all their allocation. Cheapest for the other 2 games start at £33

We need to clarify the "other trusts have such a rule to remove a board member" comment above - would you like to detail a full list ? That appears to imply it is common place, in reality it's an exception to have this in place, with over 140 Trust's they all created their rules based on the model rules created by Supporters Direct, and the FSA are currently reviewing the model rules and have no plans to incorporate such an amendment, as they feel Trust's have adequate democratic principals and protocols in place which also follow good governance procedures complying with the Financial Conduct Authority.

The entire board is against the proposal, it is not in line with the FSA model rules (originally drawn up by Supporters Direct, before the FSF & SD merger)

We will continue to push for them to be published quicker. We always had to chase the previous format FCC minutes and made the point that their publication needed to be quicker for the FAB, so will be raising it again

It is expected to become a main topic in the future, as was mentioned as a key aspect that the FAB would be involved with when we first started discussions with the club on creating the FAB around 2 years ago. Given the main discussions currently are about creating a safe standing section for next season, we can take it that the expansion isn't happening anytime soon
