Was just going to say this. Without knowing the 100 plus who applied, we can’t be too judgemental of those elected. 
 

Judge them on what occurs. Or should I say judge the format on what occurs (that’s my larger issue - particularly if you look what Ipswich have aimed for in newly setting up a FAB)

Hello darkness, my old friend.... 

[Tommy G]

Shame we haven’t got someone with knuckle tatts, shirtless or doing a line off the table but other than that looks pretty representative. 
 

Jokes aside the club will want people they can easily influence or manipulate to tick this box, I don’t see any big swinging dicks in that picture from first impressions so it will suit the club down to the ground.

Is this thread going to point out every single community that’s not represented within the photo?

 

Ok

 

Where is the disabled person? …. And … they all look very heterosexual 

They borrowed a few from the Southampton end on Saturday, that Vardy wound up

[Wymsey]

Am a bit surprised someone like Jobber isn't part of it.

LCFC through and through etc.

I can see a theme 

 

 

Emily believes in creating a safe and welcoming environment for all

 

Graeme is a Season Ticket Holder of 25 years, has frequently worked with the Club to promote inclusivity and representation

 

Jo wants to help improve communication between the Club and its diverse fanbase.

 

Paul, is dedicated to strengthening the bond between the Club and its diverse community.

 

Ravi is an avid Leicester City fan, who believes the Club’s role in fostering diversity and community spirit. With a background as a director in the financial sector, Ravi aims to use his experience to improve fan engagement, increase access, and represent a diverse range of supporters on the Fans Advisory Board.

name change incoming for the club

I was thinking the opposite to be honest. Some loudmouth bloke from the pub would achieve the square root of **** all in this environment.  You need people who can put across an argument, make their point well and listen to fans.  What you don't need is every type of fan visibly on the board.  You also need people willing to put their hand up - and 100 is sod all of the fan base lets be honest.

Does this FAB have an power to change things, if all the fans reps are in favour of something will it happen? 

 

It strikes me as just a talking shop and from a distance LCFC aren't exactly known for listening and acting on fans requests/ideas etc.

 

Been on a few of these in work and never been impressed.

I might have done a few years ago but age catches up with you I also have no confidence it will make any difference and the way it's crawled along so far doesn't help change that.

You know the bit where he said " jokes aside" that means he wasn't serious. 

So no need to waste your time responding and I don't need to get annoyed by people replying to obvious jokes on the Internet .🙄

[bmt]

Please mention I'm a director in the financial sector...

 

Think people should give the group a chance, it isn't surprising that those who look smart and talk about diversity did well in an interview panel. Judgement should depend on the job they do, although I do agree it doesn't look that representative of the overall fanbase. They should have got an elderly woman, an angry bloke from the West stand who shouts expletives all game, coked up youth etc....

 

 

[Stadt]

It's so Leicester that they've selected an incredibly corporate Fan Advisory Board. I know for a fact Emily will fight for the average fan though

[StanSP]

I'm actually surprised people are bemoaning the fact people dressed up smartly for a photoshoot at the club of a new initiative 

 

Seriously? 

 

What did everyone want them to dress up as?

It's the optics, standing their in suits next to the club suits and then talking about wanting a new fresh relationship with the club and fanbase. Look like fans not staff employees.

And what should they dress like, as fans? 

 

They want to look presentable, no? I don't see much wrong with it. 

 

As others have said above, it's their actions in the next few months and beyond which will be telling, not that they chose to dress smartly for a photo op. 

[Aus Fox]

This forum really is struggling to turn anything into a negative at the moment isn’t it?

Are we really going to judge these fans solely on what they look like?

If anyone of us new we were attending for the first time, and photos would be taken for the clubs social media - would you not look your best?

By all means let’s pick apart what they achieve, but let’s wait and see what they do before we decide they don’t represent us because they don’t look like fans in your eyes.

given that it will be Halloween in about a week we could have at least have seen some fake blood 

[fazzyfox]

FAB? Six seems too many, four has more of a ring(o) to it. And do they each get a free ice lolly with chocolate and sprinkles on? 

[filbertway]

Genuinely had no idea we had a famous(ish) fan in Darragh Ennis

Emily, Jo and Ian in normal attire come across a lot better than whacking your full suit on when you're meant to be representing the fans.

You're on the FAB you haven't been appointed as new CEO

Southampton managed it

Me and you both know Stan action is more important but you only need to see how perspective can affected things by looking at the social media. 
 

You got folk waffling about no Union FS involvement yet one of the biggest parts of why the group has functioned for so long is on the FAB!

[CosbehFox]

The other obvious point (again said has someone whose no huge fan of the format of the FAB) those wearing suits might have simply met after work
