‘Find out… first on the England app’ - may as well get it announced now

@DanMcKay1984 @DRFCShadowBoard I’ve had it confirmed that the answer to this is now ‘yes’!

@DRFCShadowBoard Are they looking at doing a programme next season ?

The agenda for the next Shadow Board meeting has now been published. If you have anything that you wish to be covered in AOB or any feedback on ticketing loyalty points which are set to be discussed at length in a separate meeting, please get in touch #DRFC

@Bxng995 @DRFCShadowBoard Club are looking at producing a roadmap to detail how this would look over the course of the season. Thank you for the feedback!

@JimmyDRFC @DRFCShadowBoard Nice one! Always think tickets for kids can create future season ticket holders for life!

@VikingWay__ @DRFCShadowBoard Fans having involvement in kit design is something currently under consideration. Unlike with previous manufacturers, the kit process operates well in advance of the current season i.e. meetings have already been had for 27/28. Kind of a watch this space I suppose!

Do Oxen take on fan feedback of the kits? Do they design them or does a separate company do that? I'm not sure some of the recent designs (third strip in particular) are very good nor have been very well received. Small sample size but I was hoping to buy one last season but feel the design and fits aren't great. I know in recent years fans have voted on shirt preferences.

@aaron_challoner @drfc_official Actually reckon we could put Rovers-branded swastikas in the club shop and you’d find a way to praise it!

Truly represents our club and the community, especially with the other pitches and athletics track nearby - well done @drfc_official 👏👏👏👏👏 | #drfc

Petition to get navigating airport security and general airport etiquette on the school curriculum, please

@hazhepworth May as well go all guns blazing once you’re called out! 🤣

@JimmyDRFC 1gb powerpoint dossier wasn’t shut for long

You’re doing great, mate! #DRFC

@LPlatten @sowerby_karl @DRFCShadowBoard No Thailand, but Dublin et al shortly!

@JimmyDRFC @sowerby_karl @DRFCShadowBoard Any update on Thailand trip as well

@LPlatten @sowerby_karl @DRFCShadowBoard Massively in favour from a personal perspective, but unsure if it’s still covered under the same stipulations of reduced capacity for unreserved tickets or not. Will chase it up and see

@JimmyDRFC @sowerby_karl @DRFCShadowBoard Safe standing then. Only solution

@LPlatten @sowerby_karl @DRFCShadowBoard The rules are set by the EFL. Anything over that is people buying tickets and not turning up, which they’re trying to mitigate with a resell platform. There’s still 400+ season tickets available in there

@JimmyDRFC @sowerby_karl @DRFCShadowBoard Can keep it unreserved and sell more tickets. It’s over the top how many it’s undersold by. I understand the reasoning.

@LPlatten @sowerby_karl @DRFCShadowBoard Club are going by what the fans want… think it was only 15% wanted it to return to reserved seating in the last IRWT survey. The next one will be out shortly - there’s the time to vote on it and get your voice heard. They’ve got to go with the overwhelming majority

@JimmyDRFC @sowerby_karl @DRFCShadowBoard Stop underselling south stand by what looks about 25% pathetic and looks embarrassing when club say it’s sold o if and there’s seats allowa gaff

@sowerby_karl @DRFCShadowBoard Unless I’m wrong there’s usually initiatives like this most games, but will see if there’s an actual roadmap for them to see if there’s any areas we can improve

@DRFCShadowBoard More free tickets for the schools get some bums on seats .move them covers of the seating closer to the away end and fill a couple of them blocks with free kids tickets

@sowerby_karl @DRFCShadowBoard Yes! Still in the plans - as far as I’m aware. It’s already been raised by one of the members to see if this can be accelerated with the impending closure of Beefeater and Cheswolds, so should be covered in the meeting

@DRFCShadowBoard Are they going to build the outdoor fan zone that was mentioned ...

@Rupee92 @DRFCShadowBoard Got to earn our keep somehow!

@DRFCShadowBoard Bit harsh to get you cleaning the floors and even more so mid-meeting, do we not employ cleaners? Probably a question for the start not the end of the meeting, it might get you’s out of doing it

@oilleaky2k @DRFCShadowBoard The floodlights not all being fully-lit is common at most modern stadia - Huddersfield was the same earlier in the season

@JimmyDRFC @DRFCShadowBoard Thats not my point, it looks bad and a bit non league not having all the bulbs working. Should replace them all with bulbs with a slightly lower output then. What ideas are happening with the Rovers branding ?

@oilleaky2k @DRFCShadowBoard Going to be covered off in the mop-up agenda item and then I’ll follow up if that’s not sufficient enough

@Bxng995 @DRFCShadowBoard Definitely… and it’s one of the reasons why crowds have been up and stayed consistent in a season of consolidation because of the groundwork that was put into kids tickets 10-15+ years ago when we were in the Championship - I’m a product of that!

@Bxng995 @DRFCShadowBoard I think quite a lot of tickets given away have been moved from South into the East - freeing up space in the South and filling up the East. Will definitely chase if there’s anything further to do as well as these

@DRFCShadowBoard Be good to know how we can increase attendance in east stand? More free tickets to schools? Quid a kid etc etc

@VikingWay__ @DRFCShadowBoard They do look at feedback, but I do need to question how it’s done. The club design these in conjunction with Oxen and these are shortly to be designed with stories behind them i.e. heritage. Fans have been voting with their wallets on the shirts as sales have never been more.
