Supporter Advisory Board update

West Ham United would like to thank everyone who has put themselves forward for the new Supporter Advisory Board.

The club has been inundated with applications for the new panel, which is to be set up in line with the club's policy of listening to those who matter most. With the deadline for entries passing, the club have been carefully going through all forms received while those who received their requested forms late have been given until Wednesday 6 April.

Everyone who applied will receive a personal response - with the club grateful for each application, and the time and thought invested by supporters wanting to get involved.

Judging by the high standard and diversity of entries, the Supporter Advisory Board looks set to make a significant impact.

It will advise on the key issues affecting all who follow the team. From the die-hards who turn up in all weathers week in, week out to those who watch just as passionately from afar, everyone is entitled to their say on the Hammers.

The Supporter Advisory Board will have a voice on the following, and much, much more:

· Olympic Stadium - all key aspects over the club's move

· Retail - kit design and merchandise

· Marketing - emails and offers

· Media - online and publications

· Ticketing - season tickets and membership

· Matchday experience - everything related to the big game

It is your West Ham United. You set the agenda for the things that matter most to you.
