About this listen

In our episode proper of the West Ham Syndrome Podcast, we sit down with Andy Payne OBE, Co-Chair of West Ham United’s Fan Advisory Board (FAB) and representative of Hammers United. Described as “pretty f’ing impressive” by supporters’ group chair Paul Colbourne, Andy brings both authority and passion to the table as we explore the state of fan governance at West Ham.

Andy shares insights into the role of Hammers United, the origins and purpose of the Fan Advisory Board, and the growing wave of supporter-led protests aimed at reshaping the club’s future. We discuss the challenges of holding the board accountable, the core messages behind the protest campaign, and the hopes for meaningful change at West Ham United.

Andy is also currently fundraising for the brilliant charity Special Effect, which uses video games and technology to enhance the lives of people with physical disabilities. On Friday 3rd October, Andy and a big gang of fellow supporters will be walking from the London Stadium to Wembley via Lord’s in aid of the cause.
