Villa were trending on Twitter yesterday after someone tweeted (then deleted) a letter from 'aston villa staff' to their fan advisory Board seeking their help. I won't go into specifics, because I don't know how legitimate their claims are (others saved the image of the letter and have retweeted it), but they paint a picture of concern (with regard to employment law, which impacted club staff, rather than players) asking their FAB to raise the issue at meetings.
Zero chance any FAB (rightly) would get anything from a PBOBE-type on that other than ‘sorry that’s outside your remit, confidential club business’.

It isn’t. That’s simply your interpretation of.
How many times can someone write 'everything you're doing is pointless, meaningless and worthless' before it reads:-

You're pointless
You're meaningless
You're worthless.

Irrespective where you draw the line it feels like that threshold has been crossed.

Not only that but crossed by people doing nothing, less than nothing, themselves yet still manage to be very vocal.

Dazzer summed up (hiding to nothing/maybe nothing is very wrong that needs representation). Regardless it’s still ok even if people want to criticise/recognise for what it is to date. I wouldn’t get too bothered, nobody’s become abusive or personal about have they? Really it’s a bit meh / nothing to see here. Bit like the FAB itself.

....or, there's genuinely not that much for the FAB to get exercised about because the club get the vast majority of things right in the first place (and those that still rankle - like transport - aren't going to be affected by a few fan reps talking about it).
I don’t think the FAB members are getting the access or respect they deserve from the Club.

I also don’t think anyone on here has intended to insult members of the FAB, merely expressed disillusionment due to the Club’s apparent lack of interest in engaging.

As for the club getting the majority of things right in the first place. Maybe. But when they get them wrong they’re an exercise of masking cock ups with perceived integrity.

Agree with this

How about the stale pre-match build up? BIN HEY JUDE and replace with PRAISE YOU. Get the crowd going. Surely this is something FAB could be doing...!

I'm sure that I will get some stick!
With us having a one on eight chance of a trip to Qarabag and the journey looking a complete nightmare. Could the FAB ask whether they could assist the fans and possibly charter flights.
Just asking?

The kicking the FAB members are getting is incredibly unpleasant.

Posters ought to take a moment on themselves before jackbooting their way through other people's endeavours.
No one has jackbooted anyone.

If you’re going to use that type of hyped up rhetoric then maybe you should stop snuffling and start roaring at the masters.

Muzzles off.

Unfortunately there’s not enough time between the draw and the game for anyone to sort that.

While I tend to agree with you, would this be the sort of thing the club and FAB could discuss to aid supporters with safety and satisfaction.
The club will be massively up against a very short timetable as it is...... won't have the time to engage in more discussion.

More likely the club could have an arrangement with an ‘official travel partner’ but there’s still not enough time to source an aircraft i’d imagine

Aren't British Airways the travel partner.

If there was a will it would be done.
