The Euros Vision-Wrong Contest?
It’s all kicking off on June 11. But has the plan to share Euro2020 across so many countries become a case of great idea – but at the wrong time? Our latest blog asks if the movement of players and fans is ideal during a global pandemic, as well as doing unnecessary damage to the environment. But then, as a competition, it’s always been ready to mix things up a little and without it, we might never have chipped penalties, the Three Lions anthem or dentist’s chairs. Think about that.

How can we help?

The team understands the fan and they offer a wonderful, committed service in understanding the gap between what the club believes is a good experience and more importantly, what the fan wants. They will help you to keep them coming back for more
WHITE PAPER
As fans begin to return to stadiums from December 2, the focus will be, rightly, on health and safety. But it doesn’t mean the match day experience is less important. If anything, with all the restrictions, it’s even more crucial to get this right.
Our white paper explores the areas where the experience can help to bring fans back and make them want to return. Research has shown that a significant number of fans are not thinking of going to games again until a vaccine is in place. So we need to focus on making the match day enjoyable – even with the restrictions – until then.

FC BUSINESS COLUMN
The New Rules Of Engagement
It’s almost been a whole year without fans in stadiums (other than a few pilot and test events) and the latest roadmap from the government suggests that it will be August (and 18 months since the first lockdown) when they can return properly to Premier League and EFL grounds. In his latest FC Business column, Mark suggests what clubs need to do to get it right, how an over-reliance on digital should be avoided but that engaging with fans in different ways, inside and outside the stadium, will now be more important than ever.
