Hi my name is Rod Chapman, and I am standing for the post of Fans Director at the Supporters Club Elections to be held on
September 25th 2014.
Listed below is a condensed version of my proposals, the Supporters Club required a 300 word address for the newsletter submitted by 15-7-2014, and a 700 word address submitted by 31-7-2014, therefore you will note one of the proposals is already being addressed following a question from the floor at the Q & A. That is a good beginning from the Football Club
My reason for standing is I believe since our demotion from the Football League after 94 years, a different approach is required and that change is essential, I believe I have the requisite qualities to help effect that change, I believe that drive and enthusiasm is needed, also the ability to confront obstacles and find solutions is paramount.
If these proposals find favour with you, and you would like to see a change and you are a member of the Supporters Club please vote for me on September 25th, if you are not a member it will cost £9-00 to join and you can do that on-line, I urge you to join and make a difference
I am on holiday for 2 weeks from August 4th, but if you have any questions or comments you can email me on rod7654@yahoo.co.uk
Thank you for taking the trouble to read this letter.
Regards.
Rod Chapman.
Part 1:
Fill the Memorial Stadium on a regular basis by using incentives to encourage all to attend regularly, with particular emphasis on families and students.
- Contact Yeovil Town directors for advice on mirroring their tremendous success with small resources.
- Appoint an Associate Director to advise on recruitment and selection of Managers & players.
- Contact the Chairmen of clubs in our local area, inviting them to the Memorial Stadium to forge closer relationships allowing an insight into fresh new local talent.
- Keep an accurate record of all players recommended to the club to be scouted, providing feedback to the supporters.
Part 2.
Specific proposals to improve our Match day experience:
- A variety of local and known brand beers in the bar, a reduction in queues and a dedicated cash only point.
- Involvement of the fans in the choice of new kits and merchandising.
- A drive to find more sponsorship.
- Regular communication with the supporters via a blog taking on ideas and suggestions, ensure they are passed on and any feedback given. Along with more respectful treatment of the fans, listening to their concerns and acting accordingly.
- Begin talks with Screen Soccer in regards to an end of season DVD, obviously based on the back of a successful season.
- Promotion of the Gashead /Pirate brand. (Chewbacca - Independent forum)
- Strategic marketing for fans living further afield (Chris Graham - Gas list).
- A Supporter led revamp of the web site providing the fans with ownership.
- The establishment of a directory of available skills that will benefit Bristol Rovers, building up long term relationships with people who can supply goods and services, in return offering ticketing deals that may lead to additional sponsorship.
