Amesbury Saint Posted 17 February, 2014 Posted 17 February, 2014 I see Saints are advertising for this post today. Looks a tough job at the moment
Batman Posted 17 February, 2014 Posted 17 February, 2014 not tough at all. just drop the price of the programme by 25p and you are on to a winner
stevegrant Posted 17 February, 2014 Posted 17 February, 2014 I'd only deem doing that job worthwhile if there was a six-figure salary attached to it - a thankless task if ever there was one.
Hatch Posted 17 February, 2014 Posted 17 February, 2014 'Supporter relations' sounds more like a job for that lot down the road.
Delboy Dave Posted 17 February, 2014 Posted 17 February, 2014 Sounds like a load of hassle for £30 grand a year! The market pays about the same and I'm usually in the nags head by 3pm! Cushty!
beatlesaint Posted 17 February, 2014 Posted 17 February, 2014 We didnt have one of these when Cortese was here did we ?
Graffito Posted 17 February, 2014 Posted 17 February, 2014 I was going to make a cheap joke about a certain poster being a shoe in for this post but the advertised details kind of support what FF has been saying. Stuff about outgoing communication and presentation skills but no mention of customer feedback. The salary tells you how much importance the club gives it.

The Kraken Posted 17 February, 2014 Posted 17 February, 2014 You only have to look down the road at Micah Hall to see how this type of role just doesn't work, and is a hiding to nothing for the incumbent. saying that I applaud the effort to open a greater dialogue with the fans.

The role David Luker had as "Head of Supporter Services" basically combined the role of managing the ticketing and liaising with supporters on both an individual and group basis, and it worked pretty well. No reason why they couldn't do the same again - can't say I'm convinced there's enough work there for a standalone role, although £30k isn't to be sniffed at for something like that.
Killers Knee Posted 17 February, 2014 Posted 17 February, 2014 It's £30k. mmm, £4k above average UK graduate starting salary, £32k below average Swiss graduate starting salary. I doubt they want an expert, more a "squad player"
del boy Posted 17 February, 2014 Posted 17 February, 2014 Brilliant timing after the FA Cup example of supporter relations! ...shame we didn't have someone in post a few weeks back - or will it just be a case of spinning what the management want to do anyway?

That would be my fear. Steve raised a good point about David Luker, but he was able to apply customer comments to the management of his own team. Still, I see it as a good thing that club want to show they're listening, so I'm going to choose to view it as a positive step.at the very least it's worth trying.

All depends how the role is used, but I think it's a good idea, relative to the level of success we've had over the last few years there is probably a disproportionate amount of p*****d off fans, plenty of relatively easy/quick wins from the club to keep fans happy and win a few brownie points if someone has their ear to the ground and is reasonably switched on.
Delboy Dave Posted 17 February, 2014 Posted 17 February, 2014 It's £30k. Yeah I know. Was just interested to see if you thought that meant it was a high or low importance

shurlock Posted 17 February, 2014 Posted 17 February, 2014 Seems to be more about promoting than listening. Or worse, firefighting.
Barry Sanchez Posted 18 February, 2014 Posted 18 February, 2014 Some on here I believe would be ideal with the spin they give for bizarre decisions and the performances by the players, a deflector shield is an absolute must for the job.
jawillwill Posted 18 February, 2014 Posted 18 February, 2014 mmm, £4k above average UK graduate starting salary, £32k below average Swiss graduate starting salary. I doubt they want an expert, more a "squad player" You think the average graduate starts on £26k?

NickG is a shoe in for the job, he could use his posting history as his CV.
John Boy Saint Posted 18 February, 2014 Posted 18 February, 2014 So they already had a Customer Relations manager, who managed to piddle off the bulk of the block 20 ST holders when they were evicted without notice. And now we are getting a Supporter Relations Manager what's the difference as I thought that in this modern day world of money driven football all Supporters were now all viewed as customers?
OldNick Posted 18 February, 2014 Posted 18 February, 2014 Oh dear another pandering to the fans, when really they should be concentrating on the football. It will just give fans with petty complaints a place to waste time.
Bucks Saint Posted 18 February, 2014 Posted 18 February, 2014 Manager title and salary tell you all need to know about how much a waste of role this will be. Head of paper towels would be better
alpine_saint Posted 18 February, 2014 Posted 18 February, 2014 not tough at all. just drop the price of the programme by 25p and you are on to a winner Or bring back the stripes. Our fans are simple folk.
Norm Posted 18 February, 2014 Posted 18 February, 2014 It's a shame that David Luker ever left. It was, have a problem? Contact David, chat about it, sorted!
buctootim Posted 18 February, 2014 Posted 18 February, 2014 You think the average graduate starts on £26k? No, he's saying he thinks it's the average starting salary for graduates.
buctootim Posted 18 February, 2014 Posted 18 February, 2014 It's a shame that David Luker ever left. It was, have a problem? Contact David, chat about it, sorted! Guided Missile runs the same sort of service on the climate change thread.
Golden Balls Posted 18 February, 2014 Posted 18 February, 2014 It's a shame that David Luker ever left. It was, have a problem? Contact David, chat about it, sorted! Think he works down the Rose Bowl now. He was very good to deal with and the ticket office certainly has gone downhill since he left.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 18 February, 2014 Posted 18 February, 2014 NickG is a shoe in for the job, he could use his posting history as his CV. Says the person with 23,134 posts to his/her name! LOL Think this role is probably needed, however I wonder what the objectives would be, other than resolving minor matters like lost tickets etc.?
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 Did we ever appoint to this post? If so, good luck right now, fella.
The Cat Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 Another thing Krueger has messed up. The fans of all the other clubs in the league will be laughing at us for our new Chairman's inability to keep us updated on this.
Mallagroth Posted 30 May, 2014 Posted 30 May, 2014 **** this job! I want to know who is going to be new PR manager because that entire team needs to be fired immediately and replaced with someone/anyone with a pair of eyes and access to mainstream news.
Killers Knee Posted 30 May, 2014 Posted 30 May, 2014 You think the average graduate starts on £26k? Those are figures from The Economist. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
