OUR energetic chairman, Andrew Stephen, has taken on another busy role, as chairman of Cambridge Fans United – supporters’ club for Cambridge United FC, which he has supported since boyhood.
Says Andrew: “Having been an avid Cambridge United fan since 1967, I feel honoured and privileged to have been elected as the new Chairman of CFU. This is an important time in the history of CFU, which seeks to redefine its role for the future, to represent supporters better and to overcome past divisions.
“Supporters are the lifeblood of any club. Indeed there would be no point in a club without them. The role of a fans’ organisation is to keep the lines of communication between fans and club open and clear. CFU has two huge advantages over other fans organisations; significant financial clout and a permanent voice on the Board. These can only be effectively used if CFU are fully in touch with their members’ concerns and clear about its own identity and objectives.
“One of our chief roles in the future has to be making sure that the needs of all supporters are met by the club in order to encourage greater diversity and inclusion. I hope that we can represent all supporters fairly and with integrity and that OUR voice in the club is listened to because it is respected.”
