Said person mentioned above has pulled out of FAB due to mental health issues probably stemming from a certain amount of perceived bullying on Twitter. So might be worth bearing that in mind before posting about people on here.

Sure he wasn’t chucked out for taking and posting photos despite being told not to (and actually posting a pic of the sign saying ‘no photos’) ?

This.

Whilst any form of bullying is to be opposed, this person REALLY didn’t help themselves. The tone of the deleted tweet (and pictures included) was somewhat gloating, IMO. Not surprised he was called out for it, tbh.

Sounds like a case of playing the victim and blaming others for highlighting his inappropriate tweets (past and present) rather than accepting responsibility for the fact that he posted those tweets in the first place.

The FAB are discussing communication and how we gather ideas and pass on what we do.

NSC is an obvious and excellent channel (has NSC ever been described as a communication channel before?)

Incredibly though there are thousands of Albion fans who don't log on here daily, don't read emails from The Albion don't use twitter, and don't do Facebook.

We need to reach these people too.

How should we do that?
We want to be able to reach everyone right?

Has anyone stopped to think these people don’t want to be reached? Or really bothered about having ‘a voice’. Reaching out is an obsession of our time. Everyone’s reaching out, all the time, so such an extent it’s been rightly lampooned unless you’re one of the Four Tops.

Crack on I say, and don’t worry about those who just watch us and don’t give much more thought after the match until the day of the next one. Which in fairness, was how it used to be before reaching out. 24/7. Digitally.

Especially when his answer to this was to then slag off Millenials as a generation as being impatient wet blankets who don't know the difference between FIFA and real life, then when called out on it he deleted all his tweets and said people should leave him alone due to poor mental health.

I'll say this only once, Your mental health issues are NOT your fault, but they ARE your responsibility.

Don't dish out abuse, then cry and backtrack when you're called out for shitty behaviour. I wonder if they'll be offering whoever came next on the voting counts the spot?

True to form in my experience

The match day programme would cover a good percentage of fans.

Just in case anybody is in need of further guidance on this matter...

I see you've called him out on this on Twitter.

I thought you said you were blocked and couldn't see his Tweets? I've seen screen shots of you interacting with him.

You make interesting points. There are many on NSC with whom I fundamentally disagree although don't always take issue on the threads. NSC is an excellent comms channel, but sometimes I fear discussion can be closed down by the noisy minority rather than being truly representative.

For a moderator who regularly picks people up for petty personal squabbles and suggesting taking them to PM, might you consider following your own advice [emoji6]

Of course you’ll deny that this beef you clearly have with Viper is personal [emoji6]

I think you're trolling again. Please stop.

I am absolutely amazed that the club did not carry out even a minimal amount of research into those standing. A quick trawl through the social media profiles of the now "resigned" FAB member would have revealed to them his questionable tweets on load of issues. His creepy obsession with a female fan young enough to be his daughter. The abuse he directs at other fans. And when he is called out on it all, he hides behind his sexuality and mental health.

The T&Cs said the club reserved the right to effectively appoint who they wanted once the vote had been done. I believe there was also a clause barring anyone who has been banned by the club for any offence from standing. They obviously wanted to ensure the 'right' people ended up on the FAB... and they still managed to end up with someone totally inappropriate, who has broken the rules and had to resign after only one meeting.

The club did plenty of research on each applicant. I know one person whose application was dismissed because of a reported issue with a steward at least 7 years ago. These things on the club's record allowed the club to discount certain individuals (rightly or wrongly) early on in the process. If someone hasn't clearly done anything that blocks them from standing in the T&Cs (happy to be corrected if this is the case here) then there isn't much the club can do.

I guess like anything that comes down to a vote, it's up to the voters to do their due diligence and make sure that the person representing them is not awful. In fairness, if someone has conducted themselves poorly, stepping down immediately is probably the best thing to do...

Was my initial thought, he’s failed to follow the very basic rules on not taking pictures but couldn’t resist, I suspect driven by a “look at my entitled access” which frankly has massively backfired for him.
