Wigan Athletic has officially launched its Fan Advisory Board (FAB) as part of the Club's ongoing commitment to Supporter Engagement.
Following the first anniversary of the takeover of the Football Club last week, the Ownership Group recognised the importance of the Club's magnificent and loyal supporters, who are the lifeblood of Wigan Athletic and the community that surrounds it.
To ensure our supporters' voices are always heard, Latics have set up a Fan Advisory Board that will hold regular meetings with the Football Club to discuss a range of matters. Given how passionate and knowledgeable our supporters are, the Club will benefit from the fans' expertise, and their provided insight will help the Ownership Group make the best decisions for everyone associated with Latics.
The FAB is a consultative body that represents the Club's supporters, and its primary purpose is to engage in discussion, exchange information, and receive feedback from a fan's perspective. The FAB will act as a direct communication link between the fans and the Club and will meet at the Brick Community Stadium four times per year.
The FAB will consist of 10 Board Members, consisting of six individuals selected by the Club from public applications, as well as four representatives of the Club's Fan Groups. Applications to join the FAB will open to the general public from Friday 21 June, with the committee being shortlisted and selected ahead of the first meeting in August.
The meetings will be chaired by the Club's Supporter Liaison Officer, and attended by at least one Club Director. The overarching agenda throughout the 2024/25 campaign will focus on the overall strategic vision, matchday experience, and fan-centric activities, in addition to other topics relating to the stage of the season.
All topics will be proposed and agreed upon by the Club before each meeting, and reports will be published from each meeting to ensure all supporters have access to the discussions between the Football Club and FAB.
CLICK HERE to apply to join our FAB. Applications will close at 5pm on 19 July, with the committee being decided on 22 July ahead of the first meeting in August.
