As it enters its second year, Everton’s Fan Advisory Board held their first Twitter Space online open meeting on Thursday night.
The background of the FAB, how it was set up and established in Year 1 as an outcome of the much-vaunted Fan-led Review was summarised. The FAB questioning owner Farhad Moshiri was perhaps the highlight of their accomplishments last season along with lots of advocacy on behalf of the fans.
Many of the misconceptions about the FAB and their remit were addressed, especially through the increasingly strained relationship with the Everton Board of Directors, where agreed attendance at FAB meetings was spurned by Board members.
The independence of the FAB was emphasised in comparison with examples at other clubs, all of whom are required to set up their own fan advisory boards.

The FAB also has its own Everton’s Fan Advisory Board website in addition to their presence on Twitter. The FAB meets monthly with meeting summaries posted on line.
