Fan Advisory Board

Cardiff City’s Fan Advisory Board (FAB) is an independent body made up of club supporters, for in-depth discussion with the Club’s hierarchy, including Executive Club Staff and the Club’s nominated board level representative (NBLR). 

The club representatives who meet with the FAB are known as the Cardiff City Football Club fan engagement panel. The fan engagement panel will routinely consist of the following:

  • Steve Borley, NBLR
  • Phil Jenkins, Financial Director
  • Gavin Hawkey, Community Foundation Director
  • Mona Sabbuba, Head of Ticketing
  • Wayne Nash, Head of Operations
  • Dawn Williamson, Head of Human Resources
  • Amy James, Head of Fan Experience
  • Lee Southernwood, Head of Football Operations
  • Huw Warren, Head of Commercial
  • Mark Denham, Head of Communications

The FAB comprise of five statutory members of supporter representatives, chosen by the supporter groups which sit on the FAB, including two members of Cardiff City Supporters’ Trust (CCST); two members of Cardiff City Supporters’ Club (CCSC) and one member of Cardiff City Disabled Supporters’ Association (CCDSA)

The minimum level of expected commitment from both parties is to meet four times a year. Meetings will be co-chaired by Club Director Steve Borley, Cardiff City’s NBLR, and the chairperson of the FAB. Cardiff City FC’s Supporters Liaison Officer (SLO) will serve as Secretary of the FAB.

  • Competition matters   
  • Enhancing the fan experience
  • Stadium development and projects
  • Sustainability, corporate and social responsibility initiatives
  • Improving fan products and services
  • Football governance (both regulatory and with Governing bodies)
  • History and Heritage
