Wolves Fan Advisory Board

Wolves have released their fan engagement plan for the 2023/24 season; the release of this document coincides with the establishment of a Fan Advisory Board that met with the club for the first time in September.

In what is a significant step forward for supporter representation, the new Fan Advisory Board will be made up of the following representatives:

Daniel Warren:  Wolves 1877 Trust

Marcus Passant: Independent Supporter

Jonathan Keeling:  Ticketing Fan Focus Group

Andy Nicholls:  Retail Fan Focus Group

Lyndsey Harris:  Equality Advisory Group

Jack Finch: Matchday Experience Focus Group

Martyn Willis: Wolves Disabled Supporters Association

"We have had ongoing discussions with Wolves about setting up a Fan Advisory Board from a very early stage and they have been very open in discussing their plans with the Trust. We are very encouraged to see this announcement and look forward to playing an active role over the coming seasons. We believe this is a continuation of a process where fans have a direct involvement with the decision-making processes at the club.

We would encourage all supporters to consider joining the Trust and further strengthen our ability to represent all Wolves fans’’

Daniel Warren – Wolves 1877 Trust Chairman.

Wolves have reconfirmed their commitment to providing a high standard of communication and consultation with the club’s supporters.

 The purpose of the Fan Advisory Board, as envisaged through dialogue between the Premier League and Football Supporters’ Association, is to create a consultative panel of supporters who would work alongside the club with the primary purpose of engaging in structured dialogue regarding high-level strategic matters.

 Russell Jones will act as the club’s board-level representative in respect of fan engagement; meetings may also include senior management from within the club, depending on the topics being discussed.

A representative from the club’s ownership will also attend at least one fan advisory panel meeting per season.

Special guests or advisors may also attend if deemed appropriate. Meetings will be held a minimum of twice per season, although the board can arrange meetings as necessary if exceptional matters arise.

 The Fan Advisory Board (FAB) would be expected to discuss the following topics during the course of its meetings:    

·        The club’s strategic vision and objectives.

·        Short, medium, and long-term business plans.

·        Club performance updates, priorities, and plans.

·        Operational matchday issues of concern to supporters

·        Any proposals relating to significant changes to club heritage items.

·        Stadium issues and plans.

·        Club’s community strategy.

·        EDI commitments

·        Plans for broader supporter engagement.

 On the pitch, or commercially sensitive matters, will not yet be discussed in this forum.
