Who we are

The Supporters Board is an independent group of Bradford City supporters.

We meet regularly with the club to represent fan views, raise issues, and help improve the overall supporter experience.

Structure and Governance

The Board is made up of a mix of independent supporters representing the wider supporter base

Members serve voluntarily and bring a wide range of experience to support the club and its development

Supporters Board Chair - Tony Bates

This is a positive step forward for the Supporters Board. We are working with a Chief Executive who is listening to supporters and taking action

Our priority is clear: better communication, greater visibility, and stronger representation for fans. We are also making our role clearer so supporters know when and how to engage with us

We are the link between supporters and the club. We raise issues, challenge where needed, and support improvements to the matchday experience and fan engagement

We meet monthly, and supporters can submit questions ahead of each meeting.

If you want an issue raised with the club, contact us at: questions@supportersboard.com

CEO Bradford City AFC - Ryan Sparks

I would like to welcome and congratulate Tony Bates on recently becoming the new chair of the Bradford City Supporters’ Board, along with Wayne Robinson as vice, and a number of supporters taking up various positions throughout the organisation.

I think this very much represents a new era for the board, and we are keen to take our relationship to the next stage, encouraging engagement with the club and ensuring we maintain solid lines of communication and transparency with our fanbase.



The work being done by the board is certainly positive, and I am confident, hand in hand, we can achieve great things together.
