#We were here together walkthrough series
Yet whilst the previous games in the series keep the two buddies separated for the most part, initially Together sees the opening throes taking place inside a small wooden cabin, as both players get the opportunity to mingle and understand the situation that they are in. I think also one of the things we've learned is that we need to have wider consulation across the club on those big items and make sure we get input from more people to make sure we minimise every risk.We Were Here Together once more sees us dropped into the boots of two Antarctic explorers. It probably took for granted that BK8 were getting into partnerships with other clubs and it probably created some comfort that maybe shouldn't have been there. ZW: The club has probably learned that it was a little bit naive in terms of its due diligence. Could you tell us what the club has learned from that? We also have ongoing conversations with the Safety Advisory Group as well about what they would like to see in terms of safe standing.Ĭ.uk: Another topic raised was the situation in the summer surrounding the club's front of shirt sponsorship. We need to roll that into any kind of season ticket renewal process as well. Equally, if a supporter wants to move away from that area, they can do so. There is also the logistical piece if a supporter wants to move to a safe standing area, they can do that. We've got to be comfortable that what we're doing is what supporters want. There's an element of large fan consultation from us because of the number of season ticket holders we have. What is positive is that we've got clubs undertaking a trial, so we can really get a steer from their learnings before we go down that road. ZW: We're really keen to look at it and keen to implement it.
Could you reiterate the club's stance at this current time? We've seen a number of clubs implement this recently, and the club has spoken in the past about being an advocate for it. Sam Hall, who presented tonight, has taken a wider governance role with the club and that is something we really needed.Ĭ.uk: Touching on some of the topics raised by shareholders this evening, one of them was safe standing. We're really excited about Sam's ideas and how he wants to move forward. It's great when you see somebody progress through the club and get that kind of promotion. Sam Jeffery has been appointed as commercial director, and that's really exciting. ZW: There have been a couple of key changes. It's great to have that sense of stability going forward.Ĭ.uk: There have been some changes on the non-football side of the business as well recently. I think he felt there was still work to be done and still growth for him and the club. We've been a journey together, Stuart spoke tonight about had we not had Covid, we felt we'd have been a lot further down the line with some projects than we currently are. We'll looking forward to what the future holds.Ĭ.uk: Furthermore, we heard some news tonight around Stuart Webber continuing his time at the club, agreeing a new rolling contract. But we move on and Dean and Craig (Shakespeare) have come in and made a really good impact.
To make that decision has been really difficult. We've all worked together for the last four and a half years and we've been on the same journey. It was obviously a really difficult decision to part company with Daniel. What are your reflections on the past few weeks? But it was nice to have everyone back and get some questions from the floor.Ĭ.uk: It's been a busy period for the club with previous head coach Daniel Farke departing the club and Dean Smith coming in for his first game on Saturday.
It was nice to see everyone back together again, obviously last year we gave everyone a virtual presentation and there was no interaction with the room. Can you tell us your reflections on the evening? uk: Zoe, we're speaking to you after the club's annual general meeting for 2021.
