Sheffield Wednesday Supporters’ Trust Statement The Sheffield Wednesday Supporters’ Trust welcomes today’s announcement that our Chair, James Silverwood, has been invited to join the Sheffield Wednesday Board of Directors in an unpaid, Non-Executive capacity. The Trust Board is fully supportive of James, who has worked tirelessly on behalf of Wednesday supporters throughout one of the most challenging periods in the Club’s history. Whilst the invitation has been extended to James in an individual capacity, the Trust Board has already unanimously identified James as the person we would wish to see take up such an opportunity. Despite the invitation being personal to him, James has been clear from the outset that he would not wish to proceed without first consulting the Trust’s membership. We believe this demonstrates his commitment to the democratic principles upon which the Trust is built and his determination to ensure supporters remain at the heart of everything we do. The Trust will therefore put the proposal to its members for a formal vote, allowing them to determine whether they support James accepting the invitation. Alongside this development, the Trust will also have representation on the Club’s Fan Advisory Board (FAB), providing a formal platform through which we can raise issues, contribute to discussions and represent the views and interests of our membership directly with the Club. Together, these developments represent a significant opportunity to strengthen communication, improve transparency and build a closer working relationship between the Club and its supporters. We welcome the Club’s commitment to meaningful supporter engagement and thank the ownership for recognising the importance of involving supporters in the future of Sheffield Wednesday. We look forward to building on this positive relationship and playing our part in moving the Club forward. #SWFC
