Ross County has rolled out a new Fan Advisory Board, giving Staggies supporters a direct line to chairman Roy MacGregor and chief executive Steven Ferguson. The move aims to deepen fan‑club ties and shape the upcoming season, with the next fixture against Peterhead at home on 2026-11-07 already on the agenda.
What is the Fan Advisory Board?
The Fan Advisory Board (FAB) was introduced at an open fan meeting earlier this year and held its first official session over the summer. Chaired by Alasdair Macnab, a lifelong supporter who runs a farm near Dingwall, the board will meet regularly to share ideas, suggestions, and feedback with the club’s hierarchy. It operates under a constitution and a memorandum of understanding that outlines clear boundaries, such as avoiding discussions on player contracts and tactics.
Why does it matter for Ross County?
Club leaders say the FAB will give fans a structured way to voice opinions while allowing the club to respond transparently. Roy MacGregor noted that supporters are the “lifeblood” of the club and that open communication is essential for long‑term growth. By gathering survey data on matchday experiences and attendance demographics, the board hopes to improve fan engagement and tailor services to the community.
How will the board work in practice?
Registered supporters will receive an anonymous survey to gauge how fans interact with the club. Results will guide discussions on everything from ticket pricing to stadium amenities. The board’s diverse membership includes individuals with experience in large‑scale business projects, ensuring a broad range of perspectives. While the FAB cannot comment on individual player matters, it can influence broader club policies that affect the supporter base.
What’s next for Ross County and its fans?
With the FAB now officially backed by both MacGregor and Ferguson, the club expects a steady flow of fan‑driven ideas. The upcoming home game against Peterhead will serve as a test case for implementing fan suggestions, from pre‑match entertainment to hospitality upgrades. As one of only two fan advisory boards in Scotland-the other belonging to Glasgow Rangers-Ross County aims to set a new standard for provincial clubs, proving that supporter involvement can drive meaningful change.
