As Paddy Handley recently set out at his first Fans Forum as Chairman, he has now launched The Blue Wall Voice group led by Terry Mullaney, a group which will aim out to give direct feedback to the Board on supporters new ideas and experiences with the ClubThe group of volunteers assembled is a broad representation of the fan base with ages ranging from 16yrs to 70 in order to attempt to cater for the views of as wide a cross-section of fans as possible. The group will also be joined by two Board members.
Terry Mullaney who will take a place on the Rovers Board in order for these ideas to be be relayed at the highest level stated “Two way communication between the Board and the fans is at the very heart of what we are trying to achieve here.
“We will assume nothing and will be a voice purely by consensus on behalf of the fans. It’s your Featherstone Rovers!I genuinely feel bringing the club and its fans closer together will play a vitally important role in ensuring the future success of Featherstone Rovers on and off the field.
“While good two-way communication is the key objective, the Blue Wall Voice will also endeavour to arrange exciting events throughout the year and also make the match day experience much more than a game of rugby with the first priority being a a revamp of the popular Fan Zone.
The group also intends to develop immediately a social media platform where supporters can air their views and share ideas to put forward to the Board and vice versa.”
Paddy Handley Rovers Chairman thanked Terry for his efforts to date “In a short space of time this Terry has brought forward an very enthusiastic group of fans who have been very active not just in suggesting ideas but also in giving up their time to put these ideas into practice.
“This is a sounding board for me as Chairman and other Board members and I think it will be vital as we continuously seek to drive forward changes at the Club. It is by no means the sole voice of the supporters at the Club, I have met supporter groups interested in promoting away travel, in developing a Club podcast and many more fantastic initiatives.
“I know our Club is an integral part of the Featherstone community and I will continue to listen to supporters as the Club makes progress on and off the field”.
