The FSA's Ashley Brown. What it's like on both sides of the fence - a podcast by Fan Insights

Episode 37 of the Fan Engagement Pod is a chat with the Football Supporters Association’s Ashley Brown. 

Ashley led the fan takeover of Portsmouth FC in 2013, and was a director until 2017 when US media mogul Michael Eisner took over. Under the stewardship of the supporters, the club was transformed off the pitch into a club unrecognisable from the one that collapsed twice and was caught up in never-ending financial crises. 

Ashley now works as Head of Supporter Engagement and Governance at The FSA, leading on the reform work the organisation campaigns on. He was also the final Chief Executive of Supporters Direct.

We cover every bit of ground from activism to engagement at a club where trust had to be rebuilt as a matter of priority, and talk about the role The FSA plays in the game today.

Don’t forget we’ve got loads of other episodes. Episode Three of Bas Chat is now out, and we take a look at the known unknown of what happens after Covid and the return of fans to stadiums, whether brands will pull back, season ticket ‘no-shows’, and why we both think that in rebuilding a commercially viable club, dialogue will matter more. The next episode, Episode 4, will be back to the regular date of the last Thursday of the month. Listen via the usual channels. Search Fan Engagement Pod.
