ATTENDANCES DOWN?
The majority of leagues in Europe are facing declining attendances. While the EFL – our longest-running project starting in 2006 – continues to defy the trend and show consistent growth, other clubs and sports are seeing a fall in numbers, especially since the pandemic and with the cost-of-living crisis. Clubs that are seeing increases are also seeing the benefits of a focus on the overall experience a fan has at their stadium. It’s no coincidence. Fans want (and expect) more than the game these days, and clubs need to give them a compelling reason to want to be there, and come back again. If this is something you need help with, we should talk.

They can turn a poor experience into a great one, but it works both ways. Our training brochure provides practical solutions that both motivate and focus on the practical delivery on match days.

How can we help?

Formed in 2005. The Fan Experience Company is the leading company when it comes to match day experience assessment and improvement, with award-winning programmes in the UK and Europe.

The Fan Experience Company has a range of assessment tools and programmes, data, benchmarking, recognition schemes and practical best practice examples to help any association, league or club to lift the experience their fans have from good to great. This season we have  been involved in…

FC BUSINESS COLUMN

Handle Me With Care

After almost 18 months without fans, we could be forgiven for believing that those fans might be seen in a whole new light on their return. But the early weeks of the season has seen a succession of poor fan experiences and club-issued apologies as many have simply reverted to type after the pandemic.

In his latest column, Mark suggests that clubs and their leaders need help right now. As one said to us ‘it’s like starting from scratch’ but maybe that’s no bad thing. If there is a good time to start from scratch, and doing it right so that fans are at the centre of the club’s strategy, it’s probably now. 

So, just how many owners and CEOs will take a walk in the fan’s shoes for a match in the next few weeks?
