We welcome the news that there is to be a Fan Advisory Board @WBA . As an independent trust, we look forward to being an integral part of this process and look forward to working with all members.
We have officially launched our Fan Advisory Board (FAB) as part of the club's ongoing commitment to supporter engagement. 🫶 Get more information here. 👇

Good to see this getting off the ground and I will be looking to support this. An independent fans group, set up as an affiliate member of the FSA, plays an important part in football these days and most clubs our size and bigger have one.
Had a really productive meeting regarding the initiation of a trust this morning. This will be happening. The intention being to give every fan of our club a voice.

West Ham v Liverpool individual match prices for 29th December Merry Christmas. And Baroness Brady wonders why a regulator is needed. 🤔
These are the prices the club are charging for the game v Liverpool on 29th December. I am sure @WHU_ISC @whust_whufc @SaveConcessions @HammersUnited2 would love you to join in and help. They are killing future and legacy support for a quick buck.

A sad day. We are devastated to learn of the passing of our Great Escape Captain, Kevin Campbell and the Millwall goalkeeper Matija Sarkic. Sincere condolences to both families. RIP. TLMS 💙🤍

📝 Conservatives, Labour and Lib Dems have now published their manifestos. ✅ There's cross-party commitment to an Independent Football Regulator - a huge thanks to the 200+ supporter groups who signed our open letter to party leaders calling on them to do just that. You all

We welcome this as continuation of the excellent work @shilensays has delivered since he purchased the club. It’s refreshing to have open communication and appreciate the clarity in the position, and are fully behind the measured, realistic approach outlined in this letter #wba
"For the first time in a long time, there is an opportunity for us all to be together as we embark on a new season, pushing as one for the collective good of the football club." 💙🤍 An open letter from @shilensays. 👇

Please note this is for NEXT summer, not this one 👍🏻
Albion strongly in favour of new 70 per cent squad ratio spending model being brought into Championship. That is high on the agenda at week-long conference in Cotswolds. Vote could be triggered to change away from current PSR regs. #wba

The Football Governance Bill was a great piece of draft legislation and I was proud to play my small part in getting it to Parliament. It is ready for the next government to pick up straight away after the election, and I will support them if they do.
Please take a minute to sign this. It’s so important for football that this bill is discussed urgently. Football is broken.

When we needed our MP, she stood up. We have no political persuasion, we would speak with any democratically elected MP’s that offered help. Wishing you all the best in whatever you choose to do, and thank you. We’ll continue to push for the Regulator in the next Parliament
Last year, @WBA were in real financial trouble. I received letters every day from worried fans, young and old, about the future of the club. It was an honour to work so closely with Action 4 Albion (now @WBA_IST) in the fight for new responsible ownership and new investment.

Thank you for all your help. As the democratically elected MP for the area, you helped when we asked. Wish you all the best in whatever comes next for you.
There will be a general election on 4th July when West Bromwich will elect a new MP. I will forever be grateful for the faith the people of West Bromwich East placed in me back in 2019. We've achieved much despite the odds, including securing millions in investment for our town,

Important to get cross party support so whatever the result of the General Election, the independent football regulator bill gets discussed in the first session of new parliament. @WeAreTheFSA @FairGameUK
Now the Football Governance Bill will not progress, it is imperative that the @EFL and @premierleague negotiate a deal for the wider good of the football pyramid, clubs & fans. Future governance remains vital and I will continue to campaign for change. @action4albion
