How many people returned the survey around 3000 was the last I heard. I m sure the club will think that's not many out of all ST and members. Can we push the club to send a similar survey out to all fans to get a larger response. It's a start but need to do this again and try to push for more returns. Says a lot that most couldn't be bothered to fill it in or are happy with how things are going 

3214 I think was the final figure in the slides

This really is great work.

 

I have to say I was a bit cynical about what the reform group could actually achieve, but it’s clear there’s been rapid and meaningful change. This will get a lot of people like me onboard.

 

It was obvious the Trust had long become an inconsequential old boys club cosying up to LCFC. Love to see it finally fulfilling it’s purpose and challenging where necessary.

 

Long may it continue, and good luck dealing with the football club.

Thanks for doing this survey the one thing that sticks out is the age ranges that filled it in. 46-65 = 36.37%, 31-45 = 27.55%, 66+ = 18.39%, 18-30 = 13.82% and 2.47% under 18's. Highlights that it is the middle age groups that seem more bothered by the way things are going. Perhaps it's the fact the club are not bothered by the under 30's (Who are the lifeblood of the club) not going to matches

.

I found it interesting too. KPFC footsoldiers love to belittle people who aren't happy as "moaning kids", "new fans" etc etc and this data proves them wrong (yet again).

An extremely damming set of results across all aspects of how a club should be run. One can only hope these findings will actually count for something for a change.

See our website here for an article published yesterday to release survey results in-full. We're also sharing below:

 

Our meeting with Senior Management at the Club, to discuss our End of Season Survey took place earlier today, and we are now publishing the survey results in full. They are available through the link at the end of this article.

 

Our Meeting with the Club – We will let you have more information about this in due course but what we can tell you now is that:

• The Trust were represented by: Jamie Barnard & Lynn Wyeth
• LCFC were represented by: Anthony Herlihy, Imogen Ward & Jim Donnelly
• The Club were provided with the full survey results, including the comments made by participants.
• We ran through the key findings from the survey, and
• We called for action by the Club in the five areas outlined in our Online Event on Tuesday night. (See below for links to our article published 10 July, the deck used on Tuesday’s Online Event, and a full recording of that Online Event on YouTube)

The Results of the Survey – Our article published on 10 July flagged up some of the key themes coming out of the survey – 

• The lack of confidence in senior management and the need for a refresh
• The perception of poor financial management
• The view that the club weren’t performing well with player recruitment and were making poor decisions in appointing and retaining managers
• The need to improve the atmosphere at home games
• The disconnect supporters were feeling linked to poor communications and fan engagement 

But supporters will see that there are other areas of concern. 

 

The Stadium – Over a third of fans surveyed felt that facilities in the stadium (such as kiosks and toilets) were not of a good standard. Just under half of fans surveyed feel that the change of stadium announcer is not a positive change. And over 65% do not think that the food and refreshments sold in the stadium represents good value.

 

Attracting the Next Generation – Only 12% of supporters surveyed believe that the club are doing enough to attract young fans.

 

Shirt Sponsorship – Almost 80% of supporters surveyed disagree that having BC Game as the front of shirt sponsor was the right choice. The Club should not make the same mistake twice.

 

Tickets – Almost 70% of fans surveyed disagree with the statement asking whether they support the Club’s move to digital ticketing. And towards 70% also disagreed that the pricing of matchday tickets was fair.

 

Club’s Membership Scheme – Over a third of supporters surveyed are saying that Membership scheme isn’t fair and good value, with only 14% feeling it is fair. It is clear the Club have work to do regarding Membership.

 

The Women’s Game – With only 10% of supporter’s surveyed feeling that the club do enough to promote the women’s game, and 45% feeling that the club need to do better, it’s important that the Club pay attention to this if they want interest in the Women’s team to thrive.

 

There are some things that supporter’s surveyed believe the Club are doing well … but not many. They include … Just under 90% of supporters surveyed feel safe at games, the majority of supporters surveyed feel the price of season tickets is fair, people with clear views about the pricing of tickets for the Women’s home games believe them to be fair.

Thanks for the great work, out of interest can you tell us what the clubs response was when you presented them with the data and 5 demands?

[SemperEadem]

It would be fantastic to see the Foxes Pride and the Leicester City Supporters Club also come out in support of this and show a united front.

[Globalfox]

Thought about this hard before responding because I know I am going to get shit, although simplistically your five bullet points reflect our disappointment you really have not thought them through. Points 1, 3 and 4 are OK. Point 2 you have focused on one individual and now made it impossible or costly for the club to act. If they remove him now he has a prime case against the club for unfair dismissal and they will have to buy him off. Alternative you have annoyed the owner about his best friend and nothing changes, the point 5 is legally impossible for the club fans judging fans or since I am Foxes Trust  member I can get you off. Oh the fan under consideration is from s protected characteristic and the fan rep has bias lawsuit incoming against the club. Point 5 should have been a request for a non fan magistrate or similar

The Official Supporters Club are more likely to come out in support of calling on the government to proscribe Foxes Trust and Union FS as terrorist organisations.

To address your key points:

 

1) The Foxes Trust is not calling for anyone to be sacked. We are asking for specialist Director of Football (or similar) to be appointed. What the club choose to do with the current individual in that role is up to them. We are simply calling for a specialist to be brought in given the results indicate the club is failing in many elements of the football operation.

 

2) The club could have fan representation on the Sanctions Committee should they choose to. This is just the internal committee that adjudicates club issued bans and should not be confused with football banning orders issued by the authorities.

[CosbehFox]

Point 5 has long been debated by the way behind the scenes. It’s something the FSA look for all clubs to implement.
 

There is a panel of 3 at each sanctions committee meeting. The idea is that one of those 3 should be a fan based individual, possibly with a legal background rather. This is for club bans rather than authority issued bans

Assume you'll likely not be able to say, but did they look shocked or surprised by the results?

Ginetta is more likely to come out and denounce these results as being skewed by some sort of radical anti-King Power fan splinter group. Isn’t their official line “Back the club no matter what”?

[Corky]

Good that Henry Winter was involved. One of the few journalists outside the club who realises we can have success and enjoy it whilst also criticising when things aren't going well.

One who also seemed for an age to refuse to critique the ownership, very much not afraid to do so now.

Point 5 isn't "legally impossible" ffs

 

Club imposed bans (IE not actual football banning orders), aren't proper legal action so the club can take advice from whoever they want to or don't want to, including other fans.

If we had the time, I think you could find some really interesting patterns in terms of specific information.

Club apparently issued a statement on this?

Apparently in the Mercury they say the statement was issued by a Leicester City spokesperson it is probably Doris the tea lady.

I'd happily drag out the last FCC meeting minutes what emphases the communication void and their lack of action on it has been seen over the summer.

As I mentioned, as expected and as a result of the negligence from the @Foxes_Trust last summer.

 

I know some may think I’m being negative and have been negative, “frustrated” I think I got labelled, but it’s just honesty based on experience. It’s so easy to play fan groups when they are as lame as the trust are/ were. 

 

We can all shout and answer “gotcha” questions that make the club look silly but the damage was done last summer when the Trust ignored the idea of protests, taking everything above Herlihy and his team when they had a chance and they rolled over and had their tummy tickled by agreeing to the FE Framework that will forever be quoted, ad nauseam. The only “gotcha” here is by LCFC unfortunately.

 

Soooooo easy for them to play this card and to quote it in the media as they are doing. “We already do X, what more do they want”.
 

I see and hear the energy from @Freeman's Wharfer and @CosbehFox and while we’ll all never agree on a lot, we probably all agree that those clowns that signed up to this FE Framework based on “it’s better to be in the room” should come out publicly and say they got it wrong and walk away. It won’t leave many but it’s a chance for a refresh. The only thing stopping that happening is egos.
 

As I said at the time to the trust, there’s no point being “in the room” when the real conversations are happening in another building.
