Guest Grandad Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 If you really want to know whether the new group is worthwhile, it can all be sorted with one question at the start. In the accounts that are 10 months overdue, what is the club's loss? If it's going to be open and honest there should be no problem answering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t be critical to commence as it’s important to open constructive dialogue. ive worked football.

You don’t lose a fan and replace it with a customer, your customers/fans choose you, you don’t choose them). I use customer by the way as that’s how we were referred to and it’s a big mistake. I have been on fan committees and listened to people with different ideas, everybody has good ideas but not all work but it’s important to investigate as times change and so do spend patterns, interests and cultures. id offer to work with the club (time permitting) as I now have a business to run. id obviously ask how the club intend to repair the damage caused without expecting massive financial outlays in the current economic environment, how they propose to get fans involved whilst ever they can’t visit the ground. commercial revenues need re-opening. The gaff about boxes don’t make money is utter tripe. Yes match days might appear to be giving things away but it’s all about speculating to accumulate. Merchandise is rubbish and needs improving drastically. communication needs to improve and be regular and to the masses. Make everyone part of the family. Make them feel valued.

Having implemented numerous variants down the years and more recently via meetings with the newly formed Sheffield Wednesday Supporters Trust, the new strategy aims to form the basis of structured, communal engagement across a range of fans’ groups. The club will put clear building blocks in place for the short and long term, with the aim to foster transparent dialogue with supporters of all demographics. Moving forward, we will develop a panel primarily formed from established SWFC supporter groups with whom we are in contact, made up of but not limited to: East Midlands Owls London Owls Owls Americas Proud Owls Sheffield Owls Disabled Association Sheffield Wednesday Supporters’ Trust South West, South Wales Sheffield Wednesday Supporters Wednesdayite Wednesday Ladies West Midland Owls Wise Old Owls In addition, we also wish to ensure that every age group is represented so if you are under 20, 20-30, 30-40, 40-50, 60-70, 70-80 and interested in being part of this project, please email website@swfc.co.uk The selection process will be dependent on the number of enquiries received, with a ballot to follow if necessary. Meetings will take place with one representative from each group present, prior to which we will host an introductory gathering this Saturday, 23 January at 1.30pm, via Zoom. Thereafter, meetings will have an agreed agenda and an overview will then be signed off and distributed to the wider fan base through all available platforms. Meetings will take place face to face when it is safe to do so. Our over-arching aim is to reach out and engage with as many of our supporters as possible from all age groups, both domestically and overseas, and we firmly believe this modified strategy will lay firm foundations for ongoing fan engagement. Why does everything have to be so ******** complicated. And why are we being referred to as fans again does the club need our money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeJayOne Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 How many times are the club going to restart fan engagement from the start again? I think this is the fourth or fifth time in the last decade? Just.... you know... engage with fans... and keep going with it. And make it meaningful, with an accepted, pre approved plan of how feedback is to be delivered, accepted and acted upon. 4 SHEFFIELD SHOP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly People getting all excited about this 'new' strategy is like people getting giddy when the ice cream man pulls up after not driving round there for a few months and says 'right - I'm doing something new from now on. I"m going to be selling ice creams' Everyone on the street 'that's a great initiative - well done' 'great news this can only be positive' 'well done that man. this is exactly what we needed' 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I want DC out. But it's nice to see they're at least trying to give it a go.. Edited January 20, 2021 by bobness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it isn't at all It's saying 'put something in place, make it work, really care and invest in it, and dont' keep stopping and starting it when season ticket sales times comes up and claiming it's new and exciting when you do' Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
