Applicants invited to serve on club’s Fan Forums

The Forums are an opportunity for supporters to make their voices heard on key matchday and operational issues which impact their experience at Chelsea Football Club.

They aim to maintain a positive and constructive dialogue between the club and fans, therefore developing a better understanding of issues which affect supporters, and providing an opportunity to discuss new ideas aimed at enhancing fan engagement.

For each Forum, there are three meetings per season held at Stamford Bridge on a non-match day. Representatives may attend meetings online where feasible.

To reflect the nature of Chelsea Football Club, supporters are selected to represent our diverse fanbase.

For all Forums, applicants must be at least 18 years old by the closing date (17 July), except for the 16 to 22 representative on the Women’s Forum, who must be at least 16 on that date.

Representatives of the above categories cannot be on the board or management of one of the unofficial supporters’ groups that are already represented on the Forums.

Representatives serve a term of two years and thereafter cannot reapply for a period of four years.

We encourage all supporters who wish to positively contribute to enhancing the matchday experience to apply. Representatives are expected to attend all meetings in order to provide an input to discussions. If you miss consecutive meetings without good reason, you may lose your position on the Forum.
