He needs to do all the above (forums and supporter groups are vital) but it's crucial he reaches out to hear the whole range of opinions from the fans whether they are part timers like me or ST holders and away Blades or even lapsed fans who don't go any more.
I agree with this. It's important to keep the fans who are filling the coffers happy, but they need to reach out a bit more to those fans who aren't coming. I remember someone being told by Batho that because they weren't spending any money with the club, they weren't important to him (or words to that effect), which isn't exactly the best way to encourage fans to start spending money.
I for instance would be quite happy to purchase at the start of the season a five game pass for say £90 -£100 to pick and choose what games i go to. This will then get my off my arse to come up from London five times a year and spend money in the shop. They've instantly then got a £100+ quid from me for the tickets & Merchandise that they wouldn't have otherwise. I might not even go to the five games, but they'll still have their money.
