Live q&a, who's watching?

 
 Thought Mark and Alan came over very well and its nice to hear in detail what is going on within the club . well done to all concerned .

The club said it would be available for viewing afterwards, so am guessing it will be posted on the website at some point.

  
   it is , on periscope .

Hi folks,

For those who were unable to view this earlier, you can catch today's Q&A with Alan Povey and Mark Maguire HERE

On a phone, I think you need to have the app. However, on PC/Laptop you can just go straight to the video.

Really enjoyed that. All very positive and if they deliver what they are suggesting then things look good.

Thanks for the positive feedback to this. It's very much a first for us at Chester, so we weren't sure how it would be received or go. It's imperative that the board remain as transparent as possible, and this is a small step in addressing some concerns over previous seasons. What I will say though, is that most obvious way to remain completely abreast of things is to join the CFU, as you will have access to monthly meetings. These are also streamed live for those whose who can't attend in person.

Thanks to Mark Maguire too, who is also very happy to answer any questions and is very supportive of these ventures. As the season progresses we will look at trying to squeeze another one in and hopefully we will have some even more exciting developments in the way we interact as a club, from next season.

Thanks,

Alan

I've not watched the Q&A yet, but intend to do so when I get an hour this weekend. I do think that doing these sessions is a very positive move by the club in terms of communication with the supporters. I also find Alan's promise to bring complete transparency as a big step forwards. Furthermore, it's good to see the club utilising new technology to bring us this new content. Well done to the new Media Officer too for getting this off the ground. Now all we need to do is sort out the OWS (!)

I just wonder if Alan could summarise some of the principle points. I couldn't get enough sound to hear (I'm deaf anyway).

Hi perm,

So, from a CFU perspective, for me the three key targets should be membership, fundraising and volunteers and we need to ensure that there is a clear plan to make sure we maximise all avenues in achieving our goals in these areas. The membership of the CFU is integral to how we move forward; £12 per person times x amount gives us substantial clout to move forward. I will also ensure that the CFU membership feel that their £12 has value attached to it too. Fundraising needs a major review as to how we approach it and ensure that rather than taking a ad-hoc approach, it's constructive and far more financially beneficial to the club. With the volunteers, I want the ones we have now to feel valued; I will always try and go around on a matchday and say hello to them all, but we also need to grow the numbers and experience we have at our disposal.

Mark also addressed questions about city centre presence and online ticketing. Both these are currently being worked on, with the online ticketing a major priority. Mark also covered questions regarding contracts, matchday pricing and scouting.

We were both also asked questions regarding our roles and how we became involved at the club.

I am not so good at summarising, so hopefully somebody will be able to provide some meat to the bones.

Thnaks,

Alan

Anyone know when the next Q&A will be ? Got a question for Mark.

Hi Poe,

There is no immediate date for the next one, but if you have a pressing question for Mark, email fans@chesterfc.com, and he will provide you with an answer.

Thanks,

Alan

Really enjoyed that (via the recorded clip this morning) , thanks for making the effort to do it for all involved. Certainly a lot of great ideas and forward thinking in evidence and it feels like the club is very much back where it should be again in relationships and communications with the fans and wider community.
