Neither me or you know what opposition these changes were met with from the Fan Advisory Board so we cant make assumptions either way. The 2nd paragraph there is probably a little unfair without the facts really.Poulton-le-Claret wrote: ↑Thu Aug 21, 2025 3:48 pmThe club said the FAB reacted ‘positively’ to the changes. If this was not the case and they have been publicly misrepresented, any normal person would resign in protest.
So either they were happy/don’t care about the lack of consultation with the wider fan base or they value being ‘in the know’ more than the impact this may have on other fans.

The positivity from the Fan Advisory Board was great to see and these changes are going to help to take the experience at Turf Moor to the next level
Perhaps it is just me, but if I was a FAB member and I did not react positively, I would definitely resign at that statement. I do think Pace is hiding behind them massively on this issue, but they are allowing that to happen by not resigning in protest.
If FAB members did raise concerns, were ignored and feel stitched up by Pace’s statement, then I can’t understand why would you continue being his human shield.
Fair enough if you think the second para is unfair and you’re right, we don’t have all the facts. The only publicly available facts we have (as far as I’m aware) is Pace’s statement and the ‘minutes’ of the meeting (if you can call them that).

Re: Access for home fans
My point entirely about minutes. They dont show any quotes from the fab so how can any of us on here make a judgement on what they think. There's no way everyone will have agreed on that. That's just human nature with different characters and opinions. It also doesnt mean they should just instantly resign either. I'd have thought it would be more beneficial to stay on there and continue to voice that disapproval rather than lose said voice on the boardPoulton-le-Claret wrote: ↑Thu Aug 21, 2025 4:14 pmPace said (published on the website).
