Club to launch brand-new fans forum, to expand dialogue between Club and supporters

Burnley Football Club are on the lookout for supporters to join our new Forever Forward Forum.

The forum aims to bring together a diverse range of Clarets supporters who will form voluntary representatives and meet with the Club to share ideas and discuss topics that are important to fans.

Discussion topics will include areas such as both ticket and season ticket pricing, the overall matchday experience, marketing campaigns and improvements to Turf Moor.

The Club have set the above criteria to ensure the forum reflects a diverse range of supporters and while we are aware categories may overlap, applicants can select that they qualify for more than one category.

A member of the senior or executive team at Burnley FC will attend each Forever Forward Forum meeting to consult and advise on different projects or activities, with the forum meeting as a collective every other month.

Fan Experience Manager, Harriet Harbidge said: “We are delighted to launch our new Forever Forward Forum.

“Fans will be aware of the many changes the Club has seen in recent seasons, both on and off the pitch, and we have been open about our desire to continue to develop, make positive change and achieve great things together as a football club.

“The Forever Forward Forum will be at the heart of this, providing an open discussion between representatives from a range of backgrounds and Club staff, so we can form a better understanding of issues that affect supporters.

“The forum will also offer us an opportunity to create new ideas with the help of supporters, which is so important.

“If you represent any of the above areas, I encourage you to apply, so we can work together on this exciting new project. Let’s move Burnley FC forward, together.”
