I have been on the Supporters’ Club committee since 2016 while we were still at the Boleyn Ground and was instrumental in saving the Supporters’ Club from closure.
As a volunteer I have always done my best to keep the club and its traditions alive over this time. I’ve worked hard as part of the Committee to get us to the fantastic new venue at Marshgate with UCL.
There is still a lot of work to be done to get the venue to where I want it to be. I will continue to use my contacts in UCL to achieve this goal.
In all but name, I have been the Vice Chair of the SC over the past 2-3 years supporting the Chair so I put myself forward to become the official Vice Chair.
I should be grateful for your vote to allow me to continue working for the Supporters’ Club. I have exciting plans for expanding our new venue, improving the options / prices for food and drink whilst looking to involve our members and ex-players in getting the club back to being a fun, safe, comfortable place for all the family to enjoy themselves before watching West Ham.

I want to join the committee as Vice Chairman to become a member champion to support the committee in putting members at the centre of everything we do in their name.
That includes communicating absolute transparency about where every pound of members' money is spent, why every decision is made, consulting regularly with members, creating a strategy of financial sustainability to ensure the club is around for future generations and fulfilling the pledge to members of refusing to fade and die.
Some of you may know me from West Ham articles I have written on WestHamTillIDie, Claret & Hugh or 6foot2 or as the host of Moore Than Just A Podcast.
I also sat on the West Ham Supporters Advisory Boards (SAB) and the Official Supporters Board (OSB)
I was a founding committee member of the West Ham United Independent Supporters Committee (WHUISA) which later became a Supporters Trust.
I have experience as the Chair of Governors and a Chair of Finance for two outstanding schools and have sat as a trustee of several charities so I understand how to run and be part of a team to run efficient committees and communicate the decisions made to all stakeholders.

I am nominating myself for the role of General Committee Member of our fantastic Supporters’ Club. Having seen the hard work of the Committee, I want to contribute more of my time and effort in enhancing our members’ experience at our new venue.
This time I am not asking if you “Wanna buy a badge?” or “Would you like to donate to the Irons Supporting Foodbanks?”, I am asking you to “Vote for Christine!”.
I have met nearly all our members who have attended the Matchday Bar since I started working on the door and I have made so many wonderful new friends and I now ask you all for the opportunity to get more involved in the running of our club.
Being on the door, greeting everyone makes me always available for members to ask questions about our club and give feedback on what they like and areas where they feel it could be improved.
I will make sure that the Committee is aware of all feedback and use it in the best interests of all of our members because we have been through tough times but I only see good times ahead now we have a new venue!

I am seeking election to the WHUSC committee standing as general committee member
A vote for me will be a vote for your self, as I believe committee members should carry out the will of the membership and policy should be driven by the membership.
I will ensure I will be fully contactable personally if a member has an enquiry and will always endeavour to bring to the table what rank & file members are thinking
2018 nearly saw the end of the SC and many stood up to fight to keep us going, myself included.
Since then Castle St building has been discarded and we are now homeless nomads with no permanent home, & last season no where at all to meet.
This needs to be addressed & this needs to be done with the membership in mind and consultation
If elected, it will be to serve the membership & keep yourselves front & centre of what the committee does.
