There aren’t many posters who merge the words I and am together every time but there’s a couple on this thread with a very similar writing style…

I know one of the regular posters is a big fan of one of the members of the FAB and replies pretty much to every Tweet (or whatever they call them now) they make.

Re: Season tickets next season
The problem being of course there are 12 boxes to tick on that list and 22 members, but those 12 categories do not have equal volumes among the fanbase, either total or STH.Chester Perry wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2024 6:13 pmthe BFC statement on it says different
The Fan Advisory Board currently consists of 22 members, all members are season ticket holders. representing under 18s, 18-24s, 25-34s, 35-44s, 45 -54s, 55-64s & 65-75s. Amongst the members, some of the members also represent gender, disability, ethnicity, religion or belief and sexual orientation.
Also everyone of them applied for the role and were selected by the club on the basis of the Premier Leagues guidance for Fan Advisory Boards - incidentally FAB's were introduced as a pre-emptive strike against today's Governance for Football bill,
So that means there could be, say, 10000 fans in one category and only 1-2 reps on the FAB catering for that demographic. If many fans don’t share the same views as that individual, they are stuffed. Indirectly, this is almost certain to cost the club a lot of revenue because the FAB has to ensure it reflects the needs of the maximum volume of customers.
I can see the aspiration and somewhat agree with it, i.e. the views of all should be captured, and all individuals are equal, but don’t think they have got it quite right. It isn’t just BFC, I have the same concerns about many similar DEI-influenced committees up and down the country.
Re: Season tickets next season
Has anyone any idea what will happen with the recurring Direct Debit next month? We have already passed the 10 day notification of change required by the Direct Debit Guarantee. Suppose I will have to make sure there is enough money in my account.

Re: Season tickets next season
A more cynical view is that, given the understanding why the Premier League came up with the FAB (Burnley are not the only wones to drop relations with other supporter groups since its introduction), its purpose can be viewed as one to present the image that the Premier League/Clubs are doing something on the fan engagement/participation front and can be demonstrably shown to be totally inclusive (which I think is good) yet in reality actually appears to be a broadcast medium outwards rather than a means of diverse input into the club - the meeting notes (definitely not minutes) released by the club would seem to support that notionCrosspoolClarets wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2024 9:01 pmThe problem being of course there are 12 boxes to tick on that list and 22 members, but those 12 categories do not have equal volumes among the fanbase, either total or STH.

Re: Season tickets next season
I'd not even considered being on the FAB given that i live abroad so wouldn't really be representative of sufficient number of fans.
Not sure anyone else from that list also lives outside the UK?

Re: Season tickets next season
I spoke to the club yesterday and, apparently, there will be an email at the start of next week with all the renewal details.
Additionally, there will be NO direct debit payment for April, which will mean people needing to pay in 11 instalments at most, meaning at least an 8.3% increase in the monthly amount, even before any price hike is added.

If you are using the 8.3% increase surely you take into account the 100% reduction in the April payment

Does anyone know if the club actively sought to recruit people from these diverse areas of society, or did they just appoint people, then assign them to fit the demographs as a demonstration of how inclusive the club is?
Age groups? Fair enough…
Disability? Yep, spot on…
Gender? Ok, be good for the club to hear if the toilet facilities provided are acceptable for both men and women…
Anyway, time to announce the new season ticket prices…

Stoke haven’t increased prices for 15 years now. We put ours up regularly through to 2014/15 but didn’t increase them again until last year.
Re: Season tickets next season
Potentially, that’s a fair amount of income the club will forgo for the month of April.

Re: Season tickets next season
I think that they are too late to set up a Direct Debit request for April because they have to give you, and your bank, at least 10 working days notice of the payment. If they decided to do 12 payments then they would be shouting themselves in the foot for next April - when revenues will probably be over £120m less than this year.

I personally can’t believe they’re doing this ‘to see what league we’re in’ or to boost sales for whatever reason. Presumably the risks and downsides to the club far outweigh the benefits.
If there’s a valid reason (i.e. ground development or whatever) then no it’s not really poor.

It is bordering on disingenuous the way the board are treating us loyal supporters.
They can keep all the fancy LED’s around the stadium, it’s all smoke and mirrors. I as a supporter feel less valued as each week passes with these fly by night unscrupulous Yanks in charge of our club.

Torn as to why they wouldn’t want to do that - partly plays in to a theory they’re just late and have no excuse/reason to explain the delay, but equally maybe they just can’t say why at this point.
That element of communication does seem to have taken a bit of a backward step this year.

If that’s true, maybe Alan is really happy with the job he’s doing. If he’s contributing in different ways. Who knows?
What I would not say I’ve seen any improvement in, and arguably a decline in, is fan engagement - which appears to be his official role. And also match day experience is declining vs last season too - catering, etc. if that is really his sole focus it’s hard to work out what he’s doing, I agree.

The club could offer a 12 month DD option running from May 2024-April 2025, they will miss out on the cash injection in April 2024 - although perhaps there will be an option for supporters to buy outright at a cheaper price than the DD price. So really this is only a cash-flow issue for the club and presumably won't be an operational problem. Unless I've misunderstood your point?

What you do is ensure the DD payment you would have made in April, is placed in your bank account. Then each month, a little of it will be taken for the other 11 months.bfcmik wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2024 10:28 amI spoke to the club yesterday and, apparently, there will be an email at the start of next week with all the renewal details.

Re: Season tickets next season
As this has been the first season where ST holders have been able to re-sell their ticket for matches in exchange for club credit, I wonder if this is contributing to the delay?
They're going to end up with all sorts of different ST prices based on early bird period, seat location, age and how much credit someone has available. Does this further complicate the direct debits?
