Burton Albion Fan Advisory Board

Meet the FAB Members

The Fan Advisory Board is a panel of supporters voted for by fellow fans. The FAB meets regularly with members of the club's leadership team to discuss club matters, suggest ideas and raise any concerns coming from the fanbase.

It acts as a formal channel for two-way communication, aiming to strengthen the relationship between the club and its fans by ensuring their perspectives are considered in decision-making processes.

There are currently 11 representatives on the board, which includes space for members of the fan group Brewers Union.

The first meeting was held in March 2025, where the following members were elected: Andy Woolley (Chairman), Richard Moore (Secretary), Ray Garlick, Steve Cruickshank, Mitchell Holmes, Hannah Williams, Keith Legrice, Ben Boocock, Ed Bates and Ed Willis. Additionally, Luke Taylor and Jack Preston represent the Brewers Union.

Further information about what we aim to achieve can be found in this July 2025 article published by the Burton Mail.
