The Cambridge United Shadow Board was formed to help unify and give a stronger voice to fan groups, strengthen fan engagement and ensure fans can act as a sounding board for the Club...
This move followed the repurchase of the Abbey Stadium, together with the stated desire of the owners to introduce ‘Golden Share’ protections for the future.
The creation of Fan Shadow Boards was one of the key recommendations of the Tracey Crouch Fan Led Review in which Cambridge United were the only EFL club represented on the Advisory Panel.
The establishment of the Board followed productive meetings in 2022 between the Club, Cambridge Fans United (CFU), Cambridge United Supporters' Panel (CUSP), Amber Belles and more recently, the Cambridge United Supporters’ Club, to reach agreement on the Shadow Board role and its constitution. This is published in full and can be read here.
The Shadow Board compliments, rather than replaces, the existing four fan groups. Two from each will comprise the inaugural membership of eight representatives who will serve for an initial two-year period.
