singe Posted December 9, 2019 Author Share Posted December 9, 2019 A few more changes, I might have missed one previous update out.

The club need a Supporter Liaison Officer, it's a UEFA / FA requirement. It can be someone who also works at the club, but it isn't best practice for that to happen. I'd hope Natalie is only temporarily covering the role, while a replacement is found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdog Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) From FSA/SD guidelines on SLO Supporter Liaison Officers A Supporter Liaison Officer (SLO) is a selected person responsible for building bridges between the club and its fans. SLOs may be volunteers or employees. An SLO should communicate fans’ opinions to a club’s board or senior staff members, and should also liaise with stewards, police and counterparts at opposition clubs. As per Rudemedic post above: Do clubs have to do it? Working with Supporters Direct, UEFA introduced a licensing requirement in the 2012/13 season for all clubs across Europe to appoint a Supporter Liaison Officer to ensure proper and constructive discourse between them and their fans. What does good look like? • The ideal situation would be for a full-time SLO but SLOs do not have to be employed full-time. They can also work on a part-time or voluntary basis (3 ideally if voluntary). • A team of ‘match day’ SLOs can also be employed. West Ham have stated a desire to take on up to 50 match day Supporter Liaison Officers to improve the match day experience for supporters. • A clear job description, reporting process and where the SLO fits in within an organisational structure/chart. • SLOs should have a clear and visible presence at every game so that they can be a point of contact for supporters and can help address situations. • Full contact details including email addresses, social media handles and phone numbers for SLOs should be made accessible to supporters via club websites, match day programmes and other means of communication. • They actively seek contact with fans with the aim of presenting themselves as the club’s point of contact,listening to the requests and concerns of fans and communicating these requests and concerns to the club. • The SLO must be credible with fans and should therefore have experience with and contacts to the networks in the fan base at the club. • Participation in the club’s Safety Advisory Group (SAG) is recommended. Find the right person: Selecting the Supporter Liaison Officer Responsibility for selecting the supporter liaison officer lies with the club management. • Where possible, the supporter liaison officer should be appointed from among the fans. • The supporter liaison officer should be in regular contact with fans and enjoy their respect and acceptance based on his or her personality and aptitude. • Where possible, the supporter liaison officer should be given appropriate training, for example in the areas of communication, people management and conflict resolution. The provision of basic psychology and sociology skills, in particular with regard to group dynamics, is desirable.

It Will end up being someone like Mark who wants to get a foot in the door at a full time club and build their career from there. All the best going forward Mark!

OAFCBilly Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 (edited) Mark is somebody the club will sorely miss to be honest, he was full of integrity and one of the most hard working individuals I’ve ever come across. He had so much time for all the footballers and given the amount we’ve had over the last two seasons that number is a hefty sum, even harder when half of them speak a different language! He was the first one in and the last one out most times. Not many fans will know about Mark because he quietly went about his business and did his job effectively but there were countless times he went above and beyond for the football club. He deserves the move more than anybody else in my opinion, the club will miss him and I know for a fact that the players will miss him even more.
