This sort of statement is why there needs to be clarity. You might be right but you could also say "how is a fan advisory board meant to advise the club if it's represented by non-fans(the club)?" You would have club stooges advising themselves - if true. I don't know the empirical truth at this point and it doesn't seem like the authority on this can be expected to be reading this on Foxes Talk. Maybe it's the FSA? I don't want semantics and interpretation I want to hear facts and Motty is right - constitution is the word and an LCFC message board is not the forum for analysing such details contained within long PDFs

No disrespect intended but you're referring to a potentially rare exception in Man Utd, and I named them in my original post so that seems like a very selective use of facts there. I wish I had time to look at the whole PL but I looked at the FAB composition of about 8 or 9 and there only a couple that were a hybrid of fans/club. I was after a rough indication of the wider picture to save me the trouble.

I do appeciate the response but if you do a web search for "Fans Advisory Board composition" you will see what I mean. They generally comprise ONLY supporters representatives who of course advise and engage with their football clubs - see Everton as just one example out of many. It doesn't appear to be true that "no consultation would take place" otherwise supporter led compositions would not exist, and indeed they make up the most frequent FAB set up (and with good reason). It's probably unwise to debate this further on a messageboard but needless to say, at present I strongly disagree with your notion of how a FAB should be comprised, and you appear to have yielded early on to LCFC. Happy to stand corrected but for now I will watch with interest.

Can someone more knowledgeable than me please explain or justify why the proposed Fan Advisory Board (FAB) should comprise 50/50 representation between supporters and club officials? LCFC and the FT have agreed this in principle and although not finalised I just don't understand this at all. It seems bizarre and the clue is in the name - surely it should be 100% fan? Yes the FAB and the club should work together but clearly as two separate entities, with distinct perspectives. I checked a few Premier League FABs and the majority don't seem to have ANY club officials, apart from Man Utd, and even they have a fan majority.
