CFU Board seeks new Directors

City Fans United – the owners of Chester Football Club – is inviting expressions of interest for two vacancies on the Board of Directors.

We are seeking to co-opt two new directors to strengthen the Board and help progress the club, specifically to lead the Fundraising and Membership portfolios.

These roles will focus on developing sustainable income streams, growing the CFU membership, and driving fan engagement, ensuring Chester FC remains a strong, representative supporter-owned football club.

CFU Chair Nick Phillipson said: “As a fan-owned club, we need people who are willing to get involved, contribute their ideas and energy, and help drive the club forwards.

“At the most recent AGM, there were four places available on the Board, with only one candidate. We are planning a session for members who want to find out more about the role of a director with a view to standing for election at the next AGM, but we also need to build our immediate capacity, so that we can continue to develop fundraising activity, strengthen our membership offer, and ensure the long-term sustainability of the club.

“We would encourage anyone with an interest in these areas – whether they’re considering a Board role now or in the future – to get in touch and have a conversation with us.”

If you have the relevant skills, experience, and commitment, and would like to play a part in shaping the future of the club, contact CFU Chair Nick Phillipson via nick.phillipson@chesterfc.com for an informal discussion.

All Board positions are voluntary, and successful applicants will be co-opted onto the Board of Directors in line with the CFU constitution.
