Supporter liaison Officer - forced gesture or golden opportunity to make up with disgruntled fans?

..............i have never heard of so much bullcoks in all my life

couldnt care who does what at the club tbh, as long as sam dont become chairman again im happy,

Firstly I have to agree with Dave in that I can't imagine the club would have created the post by themselves and only have do so because they have been forced too - it is telling by who they have 'given it too'. The Sales and marketing manager - if we can afford to hire a hatful of translators for our international players, surely we could have splashed out on hiring a dedicated slo?

As it stands, it looks like a forced token gesture.

Secondly, what can we rbmbers ask of him? Any serious thoughts?

I've just emailed him to ask if the club has considered introducing stadium tours and incorporating a museum as the stadium expands. Didn't want to harp on about playing colours, badges, nickname etc. Just waiting to see if I get any response.

I suspect any kit related queries would immediately be put straight in the bin anyway.

I wouldn't at al be surprised if Tan has put the word 'blue' into his email spam filter

Well I got a (very quick) reply to my question about introducing stadium tours and incorporating a museum
into future stadium expansion plans. He first addressed my point that he was going to be busy addressing issues surrounding kit colours, badges, nickname etc:

I hope you are well. Thanks for taking the time to drop me a note.

There is and will continue to be a lot of that which is all part of our now continuing dialog with the fans. As I am sure you will appreciate I am not in a position to affect decisions at that level however we will ensure that fan feeling is passed onto the board to be considered when making decisions moving forward.

In regards to your question about tours and museum. This is something we are currently exploring however it has yet to reach the top of the list of priorities with all the Premier League enabling work that had to take place over the summer. The museum is a far bigger piece of work with recent developments at Brighton and Wolves both getting into six figures but will be part of the plans as we continue to develop the stadium over the coming seasons.

Thanks again for your continued support and if you need anything else please do not hesitate to contact.

All the best,

Tom Gorringe| Sales and Marketing Manager
Cardiff City Football Club

Fair enough - this poor guy will probably spend a lot of his time now responding to fan emails. Luckily for him, I'm sure the majority will just need the 'kit, rebrand and badge' templated response
