Established this summer (2023) in response to the findings of the UK Government’s Fan-Led Review (FLR) of football governance, Cardiff City’s Fan Advisory Board (FAB) is an independent body for in-depth discussion with the Club’s hierarchy including Executive Club Staff and the Club’s Board of Directors.

APPLICATIONS TO JOIN THE FAB ARE NOW OPEN.

The three primary objectives of the FLR are to ensure club sustainability, systemic sustainability within the football pyramid and the safeguarding of cultural heritage. Discussions will focus on short, medium and long-term Club strategy and will give supporters a voice and understanding on some decision-making that will directly affect them.

STRUCTURE

The FAB will comprise of 19 individuals and meetings will be chaired by Club Director Steve Borley, Cardiff City’s Nominated Board Level Representative.

Nine senior Club representatives will sit on the FAB, including Executive Director & CEO, Ken Choo and Community Foundation Director, Gavin Hawkey.

Six statutory supporter representatives will sit on the FAB, including two members of Cardiff City Supporters’ Trust (CCST); two members of Cardiff City Supporters’ Club (CCSC); one member of Cardiff City Disabled Supporters’ Association (CCDSA) and one corporate member, sponsor or stakeholder (from a shortlist presented by the Head of Commercial) selected by the NBLR. These positions are fixed (save for resignation) for a two-year period.

Three members of the FAB will be elected by Cardiff City FC’s Season Ticket and Club Member fanbase. These individuals will comprise of a Season Ticket Holder/Club Member; a Season Ticket Holder/Club Member under the age of 25 and a female Season Ticket Holder/Club Member. The elected members’ initial term will be for one year and two years thereafter should they be re-elected.

The supporters representatives will also be asked to select a Chair who will sit as the Vice-Chair of the FAB.

Cardiff City FC’s Supporters Liaison Officer (SLO) will serve as Secretary of the FAB.

MEETINGS & TERMS OF REFERENCE

The FAB will meet four times a year (in January, April, July and October) and the following will regularly be discussed:

Competition matters
Enhancing the fan experience
Stadium development and projects
Sustainability and corporate and social responsibility initiatives
Improving fan products and services
Football governance
History and Heritage

Just a couple of amendments required to this statement on the club website.

The FAB wasn`t established this Summer , it is currently being established. Talks between fans and the club have been ongoing for some time, but various documents needed to set it up were only discussed and agreed in the last couple of weeks.

There will be 18 people in the FAB meetings, 9 elected fans` representatives and 9 senior people from the club, including ay least one director.

I understand that invitations to season ticket holders and members asking if they wish to be elected to the FAB to fill the 3 available places are due to go out imminently with a deadline for applications to be set for early January.
