Sorry for turning it to a marketing post but sorting out supporters (new and old) experiences will improve things IMO

No need to say sorry. I just wanted to get a feel as to what the club need to do to get buy in from their hard core support.
Given the Dave, Tony and Gus bandwagon looks like rolling along for another 12 months, the question is what can they do?
Forums? Most definitely!
Players Mingling/Presentations open to all? Assuredly
Communications? Improvement required without a shadow of doubt!
Match-day experience with comps and bands? Spot on
Themed days? 100% ACCURATE. I have always said games should be marketed as "events"

Anything else they could do?

Re: Bad news : Mon Dec 16, 2013 9:36 pm  

Top ideas sogspurs. Matchday experiences and ideas you have mentioned will keep people coming regardless of the result. Theme days sounds a quality idea.And launches on the Jubilee line Stations would be great also.

Still baffled as to no employment of a press officer.Hopefully we are taking our time to get the best in. Really wouldn't mind a yank as marketing person as they really know how to make matches an experience eps in the NFL and NBA.

"And I have no plans to move elsewhere" the Warder in today's league express

Surely what matters are DH's and AK's plans, not Gus's.

As someone who favours Skolars, I should be happy that some people on here will be attending their games a bit more in 2014 but it is sad that some people on here, who've spent much of their hard earned and time supporting a failing club, have turned their back on the club.

That isn't a dig at those people who have turned their backs, I understand their reasons and I respect those that can walk away from a club that clearly means a lot to them.

However, shouldn't the staying of Hughes and Mackay push those of you who feel that strong to push on with the Supporters Trust and buy a stake within the club so that you, the fans, the people who really matter, can get your point across to the circus in charge?

Re: Bad news : Mon Dec 16, 2013 10:02 pm  

While the Warder has anything to do with things I can't see anything getting better.

Re: Bad news : Mon Dec 16, 2013 10:06 pm  

Whilst I'm generally pro Trusts I can only see it as a fall back in our case. In an ideal world one could work with the club but given we are barely tolerated as fans I can't see the powers that be giving / selling us a share of the club.

Whilst I expect to buy a season ticket, if we don't see some signs things may be different this year the extra travel time / cost may yet push me into the occasional attender category.

That's because we don't buy enough curry.

Maybe a curry club is the answer?

As others are saying or touching on, stop treating us like mugs, telling us we will get fans forums, telling us we will know more in two weeks, being very vague with everything, not updating the official website or twitter feed since last season ended. I'm not sure exactly what happened with the sponsorship do but didn't sound good. This has all happened and apparently no one will be accountable for it.

The current set up has had enough time to do this and frankly it's just getting worse, any signs they show of getting people who care or know what they are doing ends up with them getting pushed away.

Customer Relationship Management then?
Agree with all the points raised so far but would appreciate any more that come to mind. I would hope to convey a "wishlist" to the club by the end of the week....
