Steering Group Meeting

[Rotherhamowl10]

The club arranged a Steering group this week with fans of all ages, from all backgrounds. There's a thread on Owlstalk about it but here's FlyingOwl's post which sums it up nicely:

The main topic of conversation was tickets & getting people into Hillsborough, season ticket sales are up but ticket sales aren't reaching what they may have hoped. However, the general consensus was that ticket prices just weren't the issue keeping fans away.

The prices for the next 2 matches are very well priced and not reflective at all of much of the bad press and forum talk that justifiably in my opinion followed the initial release of the price categories at the start of the season.

The football on offer on the pitch from our team is as far removed from most of what we have seen in the past few years as anyone could imagine. The strides we have made under CC cannot be understated and while we won't win every game we do now have a clear, positive way of playing, a system that the players have all bought into - one in which we try to win games with attractive energetic football as opposed to playing not to lose, attritional football that had previously been the case.

Thank you for this information Gentlemen. It makes very interesting reading. I'm encouraged by the Club's open approach to its core fans. Hillsborough is a far happier place now than it has been in recent times. Firstly thanks to MM for rescuing the Club and now to DC who is trying to seriously progress things. FYA, owlsmadadmin. I hope this forum can become a useful avenue to provide helpful feedback to our beloved Club. WAWAW & UTO !!
