So a few points
- Good of club to "embrace it" and I like the representation (9 groups, rules require a min of 6 representatives, not even segments)
That said, reading this ->
Fan-Engagement-Standard-March-2023-FINAL.pdf (premierleague.com) . I'm genuinely trying to understand the goal? (no, not being a dingdong), broadly the whole model seems to come down
- Clubs need to have a fan body
- Clubs need to talk to that fan body at least twice a year and listen to their concerns
- As a general rule, the club will share information with said fan body in "timely" manner
A couple of challenges I have with this
- It's so vague other than the establishment guidelines, what do fans get out of this? what fundamental decisions do you think will change at club level?
- And while people will get angry at this comment, what's in it for the club? this matters because without a perceived benefit, some/most clubs will make this a token/participation activity.
