I'm disapointed that when our FAB reps tried to do something constructive towards the questionable bans handed out to Albion fans after the game in Amsterdam on the word of Ajax stadium stewards, they were told to 'back off'.

But surely as a Fan Advisory Board that should be one of their primary jobs?
And the fact that Albion fan(s) apparently got thrown out (and maybe banned) on Wednesday when Chelsea fans who were abusing our fans were ignored by Stewards and Police.

Anyone else just had a survey request land in their in box.

Started the survey, but gave up as far too many questions before even getting to any Albion stuff.
Struggled through it just out of interest - several questions that couldn’t be answered sensibly because the options weren’t correct, a few typos and way, way too long. Suspect most will give up long before getting to the end of it.

Yep, I've tried to do it. Some questions should have a N/A box. I've now given up as I get a 'validation failed' notification when trying to get through the 'sponsors' section and it took 10 mins to get that far!

For some reason once I was halfway through I realised how long it was, but carried on to complete it out of sheer fascination as to what the punchline would be! Not sure if it was entirely FAB driven, as there were a lot of questions about sponsor brand visibility around the club etc in the second half, seemed more likely to come from the club.

Gawd that was a long old slog to the finish line. It was almost Barberesque in length

I did eventually manage to complete The never-ending survey but not sure it was worth the significant time it required and I took much less care over the later questions.

Just tried it. Think the system is buggy. Got stuck in a loop answering the sponsorship questions, despite having made at least one selection on all of them. Total waste of time. Don't bother, nothing will change anyway.

Down right incompetent to send that out. Some questions impossible to answer but could not go on to next one until you had given one. Club I assume have paid a company to do this but will learn nothing. Surely not hard for club to look before it goes out.
Cynical me says another opportunity for PB to spout to media how club comunicates with supporters.

Pretty cynical of the club to send that survey out under the Fan Advisory Board strapline. It's 90% a marketing feedback survey. Like nobody gives the shiniest shit about where they first became aware of, say, Mansell McTaggart, and whether we'll be more likely or less likely to use their services in the future due to their association with the Albion. FAB will be disappointed to have let themselves be manipulated there. Boooooo

So this survey is being conducted by a company called Gemba (presumably the "Gemba" mentioned in the intro blurb (a insights/comms agency who specialise with sports/entertainment clients)
Guess the Albion are one of their clients.

and they've used (i think) a survey template/software from (at least thats where its hosted) to power it.

and then oddly although the email says it comes from BHAFC / Fan Advisory Board - the email address is just a standard info@email.brightonandhovealbion.com address and doesn't seem like its anything to do with the fan advisory board. (I've done these surveys before the FAB existed with v. similar questions. i think they do them annually). They're not mentioned in the blurb etc . just says the club would appreciate your feedback - and in return "Win 1 of 5 shirts"

standard stuff really.

whilst i'd hold off accusations of the FAB being "manipulated" and the club being "cynical" here. Agree it looks a bit odd - it doesn't look like its to do with the FAB. Guess the email heading is an error. Yep. Its Just their standard annual feedback survey related to spending , sponsorship etc and the like. They've done em for quite a few years.

I believe the questionnaire was very long because it was based on one of Paul Barber's emails.
