Fan Consultation 2026/27
Fan consultation with club officials has commenced for the 2026/27 season.
The Trust has representation within the club’s Fan Focus Groups, the Fan Advisory Board alongside the West Midlands Police Fan Advisory Group.
The Trust also maintains direct contact with club officials and continues to represent the views of our members, gathered through surveys, meetings and written submissions.
Fan Engagement Plan
The club has issued its Fan Engagement Plan for 2026/27. Within the plan, the club states:
“The club welcomes and actively engages with the Wolves 1877 Supporters Trust, an independent supporters’ organisation established in 2021 and affiliated with the Football Supporters’ Association (FSA). The Trust provides supporters with an additional platform to discuss issues affecting fans, represent supporter interests at a national level, and contribute to the wider football fan movement.”
The plan details the scheduled meetings and arrangements for supporter engagement during the 2026/27 season.

Fan Focus Groups
The club, in collaboration with the Trust, has undertaken a review of the fan engagement process and refreshed the Fan Focus Group membership and structure for 2026/27.
Fan Experience Focus Group
The Fan Experience Focus Group provides members with an opportunity to work closely with the club and its external partners, sharing feedback, ideas and real-life experiences.
Discussions cover key areas including matchday atmosphere, stadium facilities, catering, fan zones, entertainment, ticketing processes, retail experiences, museum and stadium tours, digital services and, where appropriate, the experience of supporting Wolves at away fixtures.
Through open and constructive dialogue, participants will now play a role in influencing the club’s current and future fan experience strategy.
Community & Social Responsibility Focus Group
The Community & Social Responsibility Focus Group works closely with the club and the Wolves Foundation. Members provide insight, feedback and practical support to help ensure initiatives reflect the club’s values, meet the needs of supporters and communities, and drive meaningful change.
The group explores a range of important topics, including equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI), environmental sustainability, safeguarding, community engagement and the club’s wider social responsibility programmes.
Participants will gain a deeper understanding of these areas while having the opportunity to share perspectives, offer advice and influence the direction of future initiatives.

The Trust is represented on the Fan Advisory Board through our Chair, Keith Bickley.
The Fan Advisory Board for 2026/27 has also been refreshed, with independent supporter representatives Ian Parkes and Deb Loynton joining the Board.
