Results released

To the 262 Stafford Rangers supporters who took the time to complete the recent survey we thank you and confirm that the fans survey is now complete.

The survey was created, compiled, and analysed by Craig Cartwright and we are grateful for his professionalism in completing it. We have now met with Craig on several occasions to look at the results in detail and decide where we go from here.

We are delighted that Craig has also agreed to play part in our communications team going forward.

The survey not only gives us many things to think about and develop but prioritises areas important to both fans and club. It is not just about things fans believe we do wrong but recognises areas of success and achievement.

We will be doing another survey in 12 months’ time and will build on what we have learned and achieved over the next year. The object is to get more things right than wrong.

So, what is next?

Whilst the survey reflects views and opinions regarding many aspects of the club we will be concentrating initially within our strategy and planning on the key information reflected and commented by fans.

The most important aspect is our communication both from the board and football club and how we deliver it, and this was one of the biggest criticisms.

Before Christmas we will be releasing the first of a monthly newsletter which will form one of the key channels of communication covering what is happening both on and off the field, to give you both a heads up and vision of what is going on and what is being worked on.

The next fans Q&A evening will be held at the club on Wednesday 8th January 2025 at 7pm. We hope to see as many of you there as possible so that these can be regular and proactive events.

In addition, there are monthly board meetings held on the last Friday of every month at 1pm. The first 30 minutes of these meetings will be set aside for shareholders who want to ask questions or raise issues directly to board members. We would be grateful for an e mail in advance, if possible, just in case we need to access information to provide answers. It is not compulsory, but you can email Mark Evans with any question.

There has been much talk of a five year business plan. An articulate vision and business plan that is achievable is vital to the club. This is a work in progress and will develop as we get to grips with some of the immediate short and medium term objectives which we will highlight in the newsletter.

You have spoken, we have listened we accept that we need to prove that!
