Series 2 Episode 4 is all about our research paper, ‘Establishing Fan Engagement as a core value in the Football Industry during a New Era of Regulation’, with my colleagues Natasha Simms and Andrea Rossi.

It’s a slightly longer episode than normal, so to help you navigate it these are the questions in the order we ask them:

• What makes the research distinct and what are the four pillars?
• What is the key pillar for every club to adopt?
• What are the overlaps between the research and the Fan Engagement Index?
• What are fan engagement challenges are for clubs in crisis?
• How to connect fan engagement with the separate but related areas of fan experience and community engagement.
• We ask how to close the gap between research and practice
• And finally, we discuss what the best practice should be in the growing women’s game.

We’ve provided a breakdown of the questions we ask in the episode description too.

Enjoy the episode.

This episode is with James Gibbins, Experience & Engagement Director and part of the senior leadership team at Walsall Football Club.

In it we talk about a wide range of subject, from personalisation to in-person engagement, structured fan engagement’s overlap with community engagement and their success in using this to grow their average attendances, and one of my go-to subjects: how good leadership enables staff, encourages their good instincts and helps develop good practice.

We also touch on Think Fan Engagement’s upcoming research report on fan engagement which is out very, very soon, and we sing the praises of Huddersfield Town and Blackburn Rovers. Intrigued? Listen on.

This week it’s Aarayaman Banerji, Head of Football Governance at LCP. In it we discuss what the impact of the Independent Regulator is likely to be on fan engagement, looking at:

• Overview of what the regulator is likely to focus on
• What could regulation look like in practice
• Minimum standards across the pyramid – different clubs are in different starting positions
• Resources, leadership and culture
• We also give you a sneak preview of some of the content of our soon to be published research paper that was co-authored by Aaryaman before he took up his role at LCP, and which we’re publishing very soon.

Don’t forget we’ve postponed our planned workshop, Life with Football Legislation; preparing for meaningful fan engagement & consultation on the 5th of November. Stay tuned for more on this in the near future.
