I appreciate why you can’t share but I’m glad you do know the figures. As I said in a subsequent post, I think this must help you decide whether an idea is worth ‘pitching’ to the club.

I noticed that as soon as I posted 🤦‍♂️

What have Bristol City done? Ignore that, I’ve now read the article Hasta linked to!!

First championship club. Forest Green Rovers were the first EFL club to achieve the accreditation. They are the only two clubs to have achieved it.

I think, as much as they shouldn’t have to, now the Trust has ‘a foot in the door’ it would be silly for them to leave without giving it the proverbial ‘right good go’

I think you’ll probably be proved to be correct on this. I asked as I imagine people (such as the trust) knowing the figure would aid their efforts to show SW there’s more than one way of hitting that figure.

I’m not expecting you to share but are you privy to what the financial target is? I’ll certainly share any ideas I have but I wouldn’t go holding your breath 😀😁

Thank you for all your efforts. On the bit in bold - has the club indicated to you that they’d be open to suggestions?

Mika - Grace Kelly

To be fair, the below does sound similar to the travails of a modern day Rover’s fan… Psychological symptoms of heroin addiction: Feelings of shame, guilt and depression. Hopelessness and despair. Impaired ability to concentrate or focus. Poor judgement. Confusion and disorientation.

A large portion of good marketing is common sense and knowing your customers. That’s why you (and possibly even I) could do a much better job than the current incumbents.

Was there a representative from ‘modern day’ Rovers?

Just to add - those ‘staunch habits’ are probably the only reason our crowds are still as ‘high’ as they are.

He certainly sounds like he’s read all the corporate bs books (or more likely all the ebooks 😄)

That’s because it’s about ‘converting supporters’ (the below being from the linked interview with Mr Read)… What challenges have you encountered while integrating digital solutions in a traditional sports environment? How were these challenges overcome? The biggest challenge is converting supporters who have staunch habits. The approach we take is to educate and demonstrate how they can enhance their experience by moving more digitally. We use video-guides, FAQs and have staff available to support this transition and it seems to be working. ‘Seems to be working’ 🤨 https://www.lasource.io/news/digitaltransformation-blackburn-rovers-football-club

Elvis Presley - Love Me Tender

Macy Gray - I Try

I don’t My phone makes calls and does texts (old school innit)

Artful Dodger - Re-Rewind (The Crowd Say Bo Selecta)

Deacon Blue - Real Gone Kid

Let me know if not and I’ll send more…

The main point, I believe, is not digital being an option but it being the only option.

Why does it matter whether we’re keeping up with other providers??

We need more information before we can decide that. What sort of sandwiches?

Maybe they’re on about his time at Liverpool and Chelsea. Or more likely they’re just talking absolute bollocks.
