LCFC FCC MEETING – May 30th 2018 Minutes

[Foxes_Trust]

Below are links to the minutes issued by the club of the last FCC meeting which we split into 3 articles given the length of them

 

The club do not publish the minutes on the LCFC official site, but in the Premier League progress report on fan consultation stated that the minutes were published on the Foxes Trust site, so we are making sure more fans are aware by posting message board links

 

We have noted elements of these minutes have been extracted on other titled posts, but felt this post made sure everyone was aware of the various topics covered

All attendees are noted within the minutes including fans groups represented

 SW said this was an example of the invaluable feedback that comes from the FCC meetings.

Using a show of hands by members of the FCC to determine fan policy is not invaluable feedback.

The 17 people whose opinion they asked doesn't cover the range of opinions of the those attending games at all (0.05% of 32,000 to be precise). 

Its a good idea to use these forums, but to state it's invaluable feedback is stupid. 

 

Just an example; I'm sure loads of younger generations would love a 4G signal, so to rule it out based on 17 peoples opinion is barmy

With the arrival of Claude Puel, the Club’s fortunes rose again and the Club finished in the top half of the Premier League, in 9th, narrowly missing out on Europe for next season.

Well, that's trying to put a highly positive spin on the fact that we won only five out of our last 21 league matches. You could equally spin it the other way and say we narrowly missed out on finishing 12th instead.

The Club’s vision is to invest and grow and to stay in the top half of the Premier League.

So by logical deduction, anything below 9th must therefore be considered failure.

I'd have loved the club (Whelan) to be a bit more ambitious in that regard, it's all somewhat muddy talk.

JT confirmed that the home kit will be blue (!) and asked FCC members not to share this information, explaining that the Club was contracted to Puma until 31^st May

 Not much to spoil there in the first place.

 

As far as tickets for a potential safe standing area are concerned, I find it somewhat disappointing that the club are currently unwilling to offer reduced ticket prices in that area. Surely standing means less comfort as opposed to being able to sit? As far as I know, you pay (considerably) less for standing areas in Germany, for instance.

 

As much as I can see the reasons behind not upgrading the 4G/5G/Wifi issue inside the stadium, people are using their smartphones during matches, anyway. If the Police are (so) concerned about the influence of live messaging/betting during matches ahead of the live broadcast, you'd have to ban smartphones and the likes during matches altogether.
