Ross County Football Club has set up an independent Fan Advisory Board to provide a partnership between the club and its supporters, allowing open communication between the two.
The Board will help bridge ideas, suggestions and feedback to the club from a dedicated panel of supporters who are passionate about the Club, its future and interests both on and off the park. Regular surveys of the fanbase will be held to ascertain views, opinions and ideas with the results fed back to the Club.
