Charlton on search for fan to help club engage with supporters (Lucy Bishop appointed, pg 4)

edited April 2021 in General Charlton

Charlton are looking for a fan to help build the club’s communication structure with supporters and to aid with the growth of the club’s fanbase.

The individual will work with the club’s owner Thomas Sandgaard and Commercial Director Wayne Mumford. 

Sandgaard said: “As I experienced even before I took over the club, Charlton has a fantastic fanbase, full of knowledgeable and passionate supporters, who have fought to save their club; both in the past, fighting to get the club back to The Valley, and recently, protecting the club from the likes of Chris Farnell.

“How we talk with fans and engage supporters is very important to how we grow as a club, which is why I want to get someone involved who really knows and understands the fanbase – who better than a Charlton fan?”

Mumford said: “I really appreciate the way the fans have welcomed Thomas and I to the club. I know I’ve enjoyed my first few months at Charlton and it has been enjoyable learning more about this great club and getting to know some of the fans involved.

“Thomas and I still have a lot to learn about this club, which is why we are looking for a fan adviser. The individual will help us as we work with established and new supporter groups, to build a communication structure that allows us to speak with supporters and grow the club’s fanbase both domestically and internationally.”  

Supporters who want to be involved should email fanexperience@cafc.co.uk with a short description of why they would be suitable as the club's fan adviser.

    I HAD been feeling a bit more like the normal Fanny today , but now wondering what I've done to deserve your scorn, @redbuttle.....

    In my view this needs to be someone "new", enthusiastic, probably young (under 30), with a fresh approach and ideas, a willingness to reach out to all and not carrying around previous baggage from the Trust, CARD, the museum, various supporters clubs, etc, etc. 

    That way nobody has a pre-judged opinion from the start and we can all equally slag them off from the get go.

    Edit: Sorry, I meant "support", "Support them from the get go".

    Bastard! There's me thinking I had a chance.
    It's not your age Bob it's your accountancy background.

    No boring bean counters allowed.

    Some good people with the right skills (IE not me) are applying but we'll have to see exactly what the role and Ts and Cs are.

    Alongside a revamped fans forum and an updated version of the target 40k group there could be some really effective fan engagement in the future.
  • I hope anyone that takes the role is prepared to be asked what their exit plan is. 
  • Ackworth , nailed on. You heard it here first

    Shoe in for the role.


  • If they’re serious it sounds like a job ideal for a community development worker.
  • If this was a request to help out on a target 20,000 or whatever now I would jump at the chance. However I'm, 68 and this must be someone much younger in the 30-45 age group probably. But there will be other opportunities and i would would love to be offer my services when appropriate
