The Supporters' Committee will consist of 18 fans who will represent all of the major stakeholder groups amongst our supporter base.
The Supporters' Committee will meet four times a season with senior Club staff - the owners will be present for at least two of the meetings - to discuss the issues and ask the questions that most affect them and the fans they represent.
The minutes of each meeting will be published online and in print for all of our supporters to read within 48 hours of the meeting ending.
