Many of these points were raised by the Fans Groups during the 2 meetings that were held after the policy was announced. In terms of the shared tickets scenario, we asked for more flexibility on the allowed 5 for resale & 5 for transferring, so it would become 10 games overall used in either way, therefore those who have shared for years would still be able to do so via the digital ticket route, but the change wasn't made.

The club said 7,000 were currently using mobile tickets (of which it is known that for the 22/23 season 1,600 were ST holders). Yes the members were not offered a choice.

170 Supporters Groups co-signed the open letter, with The Foxes Trust and Union FS representing Leicester City Fans Football Governance Bill: An open letter from FSA supporter groups – Foxes Trust

Following Wolverhampton Wanderers proposal to the Premier League that VAR should be scrapped, Trusts around the country are asking either their members, the wider fanbase of their club or both in separate surveys for their views on VAR (which is the approach the Foxes Trust is taking). Below is a link to our survey which will only take a minute to complete. Please take this opportunity to choose the option which most closely matches your views. The deadline for completion is May 31st, but why not complete as soon as you have read this post Complete Survey by clicking HERE

Both the Foxes Trust and LCFC have both separately held discussions with the Football Supporters Association about Fans Advisory Boards in terms of scope and potential format. By attending the EFL Network Meetings (this season) the Trust keeps up to date on Fan Engagement Plans around the clubs and there was an interesting session at the beginning of this month with a case study presented by Stoke City's SLO. We have kept in contact with the Premier League Network throughout this season and are attending the latest meeting on Monday night.

The Trust has held its AGM at the club every year since its existence, and this is the first year that anyone has raised a concern about it. The only thing that has changed is that club representatives have sat in on the AGM for the past few years and that is something the board will review The Official Supporters Club & the DSA used to hold its annual awards at the club too, until the club stopped the event by not permitting the players to attend a number of years ago. We still believe that event should be re-introduced.

The "official" FAB meetings involve the Fans & the Club Reps. Of course the Fans on the FAB will speak separately, but will also be arranging meetings with other fans, on specific topics. As one example the 2 fans elected from the Fans Consultative Committee will be expected to report back to the full FCC attendees and then represent the views of the FCC members at the FAB meetings. All fan groups are represented on the FCC.

As a counter argument based on having a paid membership, surely members should expect their board to serve them ahead of fans who pay nothing & then expect to be represented Hence becoming a member to influence the future direction of the Trust, as many have in recent months This doesn't mean the Trust will only listen to members views, but some of the consultation and sharing of information (via a members newsletter) should be with members only

The Football Supporters Association are running a snap X/Twitter Poll, which has a limited time span, so place your vote

If you look at the minutes of FAB meetings, you will see both the club and fans have representatives, it just seems to be that some clubs don't list their staff representatives other than in the minutes, but do list the fans. However the Man Utd FAB is listed as follows: 7 x fan members - A fan Co-Chairperson - Two elected Fans' Forum members - Two representatives of the Manchester United Supporters Trust ('MUST') - Two joint club-fan co-appointees 6 x club members - A club Co-Chairperson - Up to five senior club representatives - One of the club's Executive Co-Chairmen will attend FAB meetings on a regular basis (at least one per season)

The FAB is a consultation body between fans and the club, so if it was 100% fans, the club wouldn't be there, so no consultation would take place ! Both the fan representatives and the club representatives can put forward items to be discussed on the agenda of each meeting Some FAB's are chaired by a club rep (usually the board representative given the overall lead remit for the FAB), some are chaired by a fan (usually from the Trust) and many are co-chaired by the club & fan rep.

The Fans Groups are still working together in relation to the £25 charge We published at the start of this week.... Season Ticket Card Confusion – Foxes Trust Then later in the week the Official Supporters Club posted this step by step guide HOME (lcsupportersclub.co.uk)

Details re-posted for you... The Foxes Trust is aware of members and supporters who have had difficulties in renewing season tickets and paying for their physical season ticket cards online. Whilst the Trust still opposes the £25 charge for a physical season ticket, for those wishing to purchase one, the way to do so has not been made clear enough by the club..... advice therefore provided here Season Ticket Card Confusion – Foxes Trust

It was not raised in the last 2 meetings, however the Foxes Trust has raised a series of specific questions with the club about this topic, as we have a number of compliance concerns, the club have acknowledged and have promised to come back to us

It was agreed by the Fans Groups present and the club that the Fans Groups would release an initial statement (contents may not be what the club hoped for) and state nothing further while the clubs board considered the feedback supplied by the Fans Groups at the meeting. Once the Fans Groups have received answers from the club, the Fans Groups will release more information, what is released is largely dependent upon the decisions now taken by the LCFC board

There was a linked document highlighting some of the main issues & how they should be handled. Several of those issues were raised by the Trust (they were all negative feedback !)

Consultation on ST related topics usually takes place at the Fans Consultative Committee, where all main fans groups are represented - no fans groups have been consulted - the club has now agreed to a meeting following individual requests from several fans groups over the last 24 hours We would be interested in seeing this questionnaire you refer to above, as the club needs to share the results with the Fans Groups and often doesn't

That is correct

Posted as a separate topic, as there has understandably been much discussion on the main thread and we don't want our statement being lost amongst all the posts (as several posts are asking what fans groups are doing) As the statement makes reference to, we have had dialogue with Union FS and the Official Supporters Club tonight, with a joint meeting with the club being sought Statement on Proposed Price Rises – Foxes Trust

Foxes Trust Statement on Proposed Changes to FA Cup – Foxes Trust Posted as a separate topic to highlight the statement has been published & there is heightened interest in the trust and plenty of new trust members on this forum (but understand if mods on here want to transfer into the main topic thread

In terms of the review of the 22/23 Accounts meeting, the LCFC Finance Director and Communications Director were present

Because its subject of 2 legal cases Ipswich don't face that issue, however if the club were not involved in a legal process, then we would encourage the club to publish like Ipswich
