Fan on the Board
Posted on: Thu 06 Mar 2008
The deadline for nominations for the upcoming Fan on the Board election has now passed.
Millwall Supporters Club has received two applications, one from Peter Garston, the existing FOTB, plus one other.
After further consideration of the likely impact on his family and work, the new candidate has decided that he cannot commit, at the moment, the time needed to do the job successfully.
Consequently he has withdrawn his nomination.
With no other nominations, Peter is elected for a further three years as set out in the FOTB Terms of Reference.
MSC Chairman Bob Asprey said: Congratulations to Peter. Millwall Supporters Club looks forward to continuing to work together with him to represent the views of our supporters and ensure that the unprecedented influence of the fans at Millwall FC can be developed further.
Peter Garston has been widely praised by the fans for the way he has gone about the role of Fan on the Board, and what he has achieved on our behalf. He has also earned the respect of his fellow Board members at Millwall FC. While it is disappointing not to have an election to provide a FOTB with the majority backing of the fans, I am sure that most supporters are happy to see Peter continuing his good work."

Millwall's Executive Deputy Chairman Heather Rabbatts added: "I'm delighted that Peter has been re-elected onto the Board.
He has made an invaluable contribution and has helped the Board forge better links with the fans.
Having supporter representation on the Board is still relatively new in English football and we are all still learning.
Peter's re-election means we can now build on our experience and continue to improve the relationship between the Board and the fans going forward."
