I’ve been told that there used to be a list members/fans could add their names to, with any skills they had that might be useful to club or Trust. However feedback from those who said they’d registered their skills or offered help has been very negative, with people saying they’d never been contacted when there were times when their skills would have been valuable, or worse that offers of help had been ignored or even dismissed out of hand.
AlthoughI I think both club and Trust are better run these days, no doubt with the benefit of 16 years experience under Trust control, there are still areas that I believe could be improved upon, marketing, publicity and promotion being among them. So i feel its a shame to waste what must be a wealth of talent, knowledge and experience amongst our fanbase.
I’m trying to put a few ideas together to see if a better more productive system could be put in place to utilise the skills of our fans with a view to having something coherent to put before the Trust and get some help developing. However it would be useful to know how the old system worked (or didn’t as seems to be the case) as I have no idea myself and wasn’t really around at the time. So if you were involved or know how it was set up, or were one of the people who registered, i’d be really grateful if you could share your thoughts. If you’re someone with IT expertise, I’d love some help with this as I’m a computer know nort!
If you are one of the many people who’ve put many hours unpaid time into the club or trust, please don’t get defensive about this, I’m not trying to criticise, just trying to see if I can do something positive to help our club. I’ve always believed its important to get fans more engaged and i think a step towards that is to make sure they feel valued, I believe this could help and increase the sense of ownership!
