We are pleased to welcome Darren Williams, Peter Trenter and Jon Kelly to the FAB for the first time. We also welcome back Arjun Pillai who was successfully reselected to his existing position. All four have been appointed for two seasons.

We received a high volume of applications, and each candidate was interviewed by a panel formed of independent representatives from the supporter base, the club board and the Football Supporters’ Association.

Our newest members will be joining our elected representatives, Neil Beard, Tracey Chapman and Anna Phillips, who all hold the position of supporter advisors to the board.

For the 2026/27 season, the FAB will continue to meet with the club on a regular basis, providing advice and guidance on strategic initiatives and the impact on fan sentiment.

Michael Cornall, head of supporter relations, said: ‘We look forward to welcoming Jon, Darren and Peter to the Fan Advisory Board.

‘It is vital that the FAB is representative of our supporter base. We are delighted to welcome our newest members and look forward to their range of perspectives contributing to and enriching the discussions we have as a group.’
