Membership of BIAS is now free

The benefits of joining BIAS are as follows:

1. Membership will give your opinion a voice: BIAS has regular contact with the football club and has formed an excellent working relationship with staff at all levels within the Club. We want to ensure every Brentford fan has the opportunity to communicate with the club and for the club to listen to any concerns they may have.

• We are a fully a fully democratic, inclusive, non-profit and independent supporter’s group: We have been in existence since 1998 and feel that we can campaign more effectively on behalf of our members by remaining independent of the Club thereby enabling BIAS to openly criticise the Club when supporters are not treated fairly or with respect

• We are accountable to our Membership: We are run by an elected Executive Committee thereby avoiding the possibility of any one individual taking or claiming an autonomous decision making role. Those on the committee have been elected by BIAS members as their representatives and should the membership wish, they can be voted out at the yearly Annual General Meeting (AGM). By the same token, any member can stand for election to the Executive Committee.

• We are run by fans for the fans: BIAS is managed by an Executive Committee who act on behalf of our members. Committee members are elected by the membership in line with the BIAS Constitution. As a result Committee members are fans, the same as any of you and are not paid by or recompensed in any other way by BFC or anyone else.

• We have established good working relationships with the Club: As a result we have access to senior officials within the Club. We also have very open and clear lines of communication with the operational side of the Club to put forward ideas or concerns from our membership to the people that run the club.

• BIAS are co-chairs of the Fan Advisory Board (FAB): The FAB is part of the Premier League’s response to the Government White Paper on Football governance and forms part of their new Fan Engagement Standard.  Whilst the FAB itself will focus on the more strategic and long-term elements of the club’s off-field operations, there are multiple working groups that focus on the day to day issues that affecting Brentford supporters. BIAS fully participates in all working groups and forums.

• BIAS is an affiliate member of the Football Supporters Association (FSA): This provides us with a platform to escalate issues impacting supporters of our club and garner wider support from supporters from across England and Wales.

These include:

• Promoting the cause of diversity and opposing all forms of discrimination
