Chelsea have today announced the establishment of a six-person Fan Advisory Board (FAB), which will meet at least three times a year with members of the Chelsea board and other senior officials to discuss potential medium and long-term decisions that will impact supporters.
It was during the takeover process last year that the Todd Boehly/Clearlake consortium, which included lifelong Chelsea fan Lord Daniel Finkelstein OBE, outlined their desire to be "pioneers" of supporter involvement should their £2.5billion bid to purchase the club prove successful.
The FAB is – in part – a fulfilment of that promise, with Chelsea stating the Fan Advisory board will "engage in discussion, exchange information and share insights on potential decisions that impact Chelsea supporters. The focus will be on the club’s strategic vision and objectives, as well as medium- and long-term decision making."
