Irish Supporter Network Event and Survey

[Mr A]

The Irish Supporter Network will be holding an event in Tallaght Stadium on March 26th called "Towards A Sustainable League".

The workshop will kick off with a session on Achieving Sustainable Finance, led by ISN representatives involved in SD Europe’s Clubs and Supporters for Better Governance in Football project. The content will focus on the conflict between short and long-term goals as well as touching on early warning signs of financial concerns among other items.

In the afternoon, SLOs from a number of League of Ireland clubs will lead a discussion on what the role of Supporter Liaison Officer can mean for Irish football clubs. The position is a requirement under UEFA licencing and for all Premier Division clubs. However, having an independent person advocating for supporters and addressing concerns that arise on match night and elsewhere can be of significant benefit to all clubs, at any level of the game.

The final session of the day is entitled: What do Supporters Want? Ask them, part of which will involve the results of the survey linked below.

You can book a place here: https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/isn-towa...67819?aff=eac2

There is also a survey in progress gathering info on supporter's experiences at matches, etc. We'd appreciate if you could participate here before it close in the next 24 hours: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ISN2017
