Fans' Parliament

[RichardM]

Had this email from the club today.
We are looking for Season Ticket holders to attend our inaugural Fans' Parliament in a bid to further engage with our supporters.

The Fans' Parliament will meet twice a season and will be made up of a random selection of Season Ticket holders, alongside members from our official supporter groups, senior members of staff and Board members. The aim of the Fans' Parliament is to get a true and reflective insight into the supporter experience. We highly value the opinions and feedback of our supporters.

If you wish to be considered for the position, please email [email protected] by 12pm, Thursday, June 22nd, with the subject line 'Bluebirds FP 23/24'.

In the main body of the email, please include your:

- Name

- Fan ID

- The stand where your Season Ticket is located

Should you be successful with your expression of interest, you will be contacted by email in due course along with details of the first meeting.

Re: Fans' Parliament

I get why they’ve limited it to season ticket holders but I think maybe expanding it to people with memberships or a purchase history could be beneficial.

About a quarter of our match day fans don’t have season tickets, it’s an opportunity to work out if there are any adjustments the club can make to convert the people that go a handful of times a season into consistent match goers.

Or perhaps after the first fans meeting a survey can be written up based on feedback and sent to the wider fan base to fill in.

It’s a positive move though, hopefully the start of many.

Apologies. I'll check with you in advance next time I post my opinion on here.

At least they are trying, I think a mix of season ticket holders is the right way to go about it even though I’m not one.

I think that if you open it up too much, you are asking for trouble. At least restricting it to season ticket holders you can be pretty sure that those involved are actually City fans. Otherwise anyone could reply or turn up at meetings, including fans of a certain rival club down the M4.

Good point. Which is why I said about opening it to people with memberships or a CCFC purchase history :thumbup:

The club already has the season ticket holders’ money and support. If the club are advised to improve X, Y and Z and ignore that advice, chances are those people will still turn up regardless.

However if a group of fair weather fans suggest that improving X, Y and Z will encourage them to attend more games or purchase a season ticket, the club is more incentivised to accommodate those requests.

Or fans that used to have season tickets and no longer do. I think it’s important for the club to know why did they give them up and what would encourage them to return.

Would have thought that was bleeding obvious, but, apparently, not.

Good idea by the club, I have some sympathy already for whoever gets to chair the meeting mind.
