F.A.B. Fan Advisory Board (2025)

I know many have mixed feelings about supporter groups and I think it’s fair to say that previous ones appear to have been very inclusive and not always representative of the true fan base.

Forest now seem to have a new group and time will tell if it’s any different. No clue what’s happened to NFSC and others. Message received and understood?

What are your thoughts?

On Thursday 25th January 2024, Nottingham Forest marked a significant step forward in the space of fan engagement by hosting the first Fan Advisory Board meeting.
The club announced the Fan Advisory Board when publishing our Fan Engagement Plan back in September last year, as part of the Premier League Fan Engagement Standard.
The Fan Advisory Board is formed by fan representatives from the Nottingham Forest Supporters Trust, Nottingham Forest Supporters Club, Nottingham Forest Disabled Supporters Association, Forza Garibaldi, Punjabi Forest and NFFC North America, as well as the two independent representatives who were elected following an application process in November.
The Fan Advisory Board is also formed by Chairman, Tom Cartledge and Marketing & Fan Engagement Manager, Will D’Hooghe.
The summary of last week’s meeting can be found below.

FAB SUMMARY​

The club will be launching a Fan Engagement section on the website shortly, with information on the Fan Advisory Board members and how to contact them, as well as meeting summaries and updates on when the Fan Advisory Board is scheduled to meet.
Nottingham Forest is delighted to open this new structured forum for two-way dialogue that will allow us to make significant and lasting changes that benefit the fans for years to come.

Colour me skeptical. Again.

Previous efforts have garnered pretty much nothing.

I think this new lot has also contacted the North American forest fan group. Idk if you said that in your post but it was the first thing that comes to mind as I saw them post about it yesterday or summat.

It does say so in the opening comment Thomas -

Why have they not invited representatives from the leading Forest and Squirrel-fanciers Forum, hmmm?

Hmmm? Hmmm?

Answer me that, Forest.

If you dare.

It would probably be worth a world of good if I were to learn how to read.

But then as Americans go, you’d be a massive outlier?

Arguably this forum is more popular than some of the groups included in that list

Some as in probably just the American supporters group lol.

Let's try to gloss over a mediocre transfer window which doesn't address our problems and lets distract everyone with a nice shiny new toy which we'll quietly discard after a few months.

Meh.

As much use as a FAB fire guard

Feel for you Thomas, being an American so not having anyone to teach you how to.

If it wasn't for the fact he finally managed to disgrace himself by running a racist organisation up in Yorkshire I'd have guessed Mark Arthur was the inspiration behind this announcement. Straight out of his playbook. Page 4.

Aye, did he not look in the mirror before venturing out?

And for God‘s sake, it’s an official photograph. Take your hands out of your pockets!

Surely that picture is not genuine. It's been photoshopped. Have I missed the joke again?

Not sure what they aim to discover that they couldn’t find out from walking around the ground on a match day and through the stands at half time with their ears open. Just try and get a brew or have a dump lads. Or a ticket.

Maybe the US supporters club rep knows something we don’t though?

Seems like the swear filter was all in vain.
As for the FAB, just another bunch waiting to be charmed into submission with a free shirt, a cup of tea and a jaffa cake.
Shove it up your hole.

He must have dressed in the dark.

I bet he considers himself a wacky fella.
