' CARDIFF CITY CHANGE THE WAY THEY DEAL WITH SUPPORTERS '

AND ABOUT TIME!

There's too many who feel they are far more important than the club, supporters, yep it's in the name and gives you all the clues you need.

There's no harm in any suppoorter, group, trust, forum, delegation going to see or contact a dedicated official in the club, that way everyone gets an opportunity and everyone gets the same message.

Some people are just so above themselves its unreal, stick to supporting the club, that's what we're here for!

Its about respect. If we went to watch the City in Sunderland or Newcastle or overseas and at the end of the game the players walked off without applauding the efforts made by fans we'd be disgusted. what the club are doing now by ignoring supporters e mails/messages/questions/wishes is akin to that

The players walk over to clap the support for taking time to travel and support them.. The club thanked us for our support many times last season..

My immediate impression is this SLO position is another tier of admin to the big bosses.

I'm not too sure if its needed or not. Will it be productive? Only time will tell. Personally I think its doomed to fail because the rebrand will overshadow anything and we know thats going to be around until Tan goes.

i agree.

Sounds like a right 'uncle Tom'

I forgot to say that they are compulsory now across Europe and it may or may not work at Cardiff and we continue as we were with another tier of admin as you say but not all clubs are like ours and although the re brand is dominating the club for many fans we still have enjoyed a lot of fan meetings through the trust, supporters club and travel club with police and the football club during the last thirteen years ...this is not the case at many other clubs especially on the continent and UEFA are hoping this SLO scheme will help alleviate that at many clubs . Saying that, when I attend many meetings with fans from other clubs they are amazed at the access we get to the police, security at Cardiff at the travel club meetings.

Are there any rules regarding which fans group the SLO's have to deal with? By that I mean is it just the Supporters Trust or can any organised fans group (e.g. Bluebirds Unite) or even individual supporters ask for meetings?

PS Thanks for the information on the UEFA SLO model it was very interesting.

I don't think UEFA's intention is to give club bosses an extra tier of admin so they avoid having to answer to supporters, but in practise it could end up like that if the SLO's role is not properly respected by the club.

This is a UEFA idea that has worked in Germany Tony. Will it work in the UK, I personally doubt it due to the way things are over here.

Officially, Directly and Accurately how all information should be delivered. Good move by the club.

Good Times
