The Fans Forum consists of 16 fans and senior Newcastle United officials and was introduced in 2013 to enhance and structure dialogue between fans and their club.

The Forum will be reconvening at St. James’ Park in February to discuss a wide range of issues which affect supporters, with subsequent meeting minutes published on the club’s website.

The Magpies are welcoming applications for a range of positions, with seats representing the following different segments of United’s diverse fan base:

NUST will also be returning to meetings after positive dialogue resumed between Trust representatives and the club.

They will join established fan groups NUFC Fans United, Newcastle United Disabled Supporters Association (NUDSA) and Newcastle United Supporters Club London in occupying permanent seats.

About the Fans Forum

The club is represented at board level in Fans Forum meetings, with heads of department from safety and security, facilities, ticketing, marketing, media and Newcastle United Foundation also present.

Forum meetings have also been visited by recent first team managers, with Rafa Benítez dropping in to the most recent Forum in August 2016.

Unlike many forums at other clubs, which are voted in by a panel or elected by fellow supporters on the strength of written applications, applicants to the Fans Forum at Newcastle United are required to select an individual seat for which they meet criteria (i.e. Milburn Stand representative must hold a valid season ticket in the Milburn Stand).

They are then selected at random from all qualifying applicants, giving every Newcastle United supporter a chance of being on the Forum.

How to apply

To apply, please send your name, supporter number, telephone number and address to [email protected] and clearly indicate the specific seat you are applying for.
