New Everton Fans' Forum Members Announced

Everton Fans’ Forum has announced four new members, as voted for by supporters. 


The new members are: 

  • Joe O’Reilly
  • Dawn Kehoe
  • Tony Sampson
  • David Wycherley


For the first time, the Forum has international representation via Joe O’Reilly, a member of the Irish Toffees Supporters’ Club, and Tony Sampson, a member of the Chicago Evertonians Supporters’ Club. 


Dawn Kehoe brings her insight of travelling home and away to games, while David Wycherley belongs to The County Road Bobblers, the fan group responsible for the fundraising drive to create the Moise Kean ‘No Al Razzismo’ banner.  


The Forum would like to thank departing members, Ian Ball, Tom Moore and Louis Reed-Foster for their contribution during their time as Forum members.  


The Everton Fans’ Forum convenes as a full group on a monthly basis, acting as a touch-point between the Club and the wider fanbase to deliver feedback and ideas. The Forum has been directly involved in a number of Club projects. It has provided input into Everton’s cup ticket and Season Ticket pricing strategy, and created project groups to work with Club retail partner Fanatics and catering partner Sodexo to improve services given to Evertonians. 


The Forum’s work also led to the installation of the Holy Trinity statue last season, an Armed Forces Day event at Everton’s Royal Liver Building HQ, and the ‘Two Clubs, One City’ Hillsborough tribute banner, which was taken to Sheffield United. 


The Forum also supported the Club in delivering a fan event to launch The People’s Project second-stage public consultation.


All supporters with an Everton customer number were eligible to vote and select from a shortlist of nine candidates. The four candidates who received the highest number of votes were invited to join the Fans’ Forum. Each Forum member serves a three-year term.
