Apologies if there are any other threads on this but I can't see them!
Received an e-mail at about 6-30 pm about this. Isn't this Supporter's Trust territory? |  | | |  |

Swansea City are on the hunt for ‘Champion Jacks’ to become part of the decision-making process of the club.
The new initiative is designed to build and improve on the introduction of fan focus groups established last year.
The fan focus groups were a welcome addition to the communication process between the club and its supporters. But due to club restructuring it was felt that a more focused and digital approach would help improve communication and engagement.
The club is now looking to create smaller working groups of three or four supporters with particular interests and skillsets in different fields to establish regular dialogue with the fanbase and the club.
The various groups, listed below, will be asked their opinion on any new or current initiatives. They will then be tasked with communicating with the fanbase for feedback and consideration via social media, email and other digital channels.
Swans chairman, Trevor Birch, explained: “Supporter engagement is something I am extremely keen on. It is important the club listens and considers the views of its supporters.
“We want our supporters to be at the heart of decision making, planning and the implementation of future change.
“This new Champion Jacks initiative will be vital to the success of future projects and the shaping of the club going forward.’’
To kickstart the project, the club is looking for Champion Jacks to cover ticketing, hospitality, digital, matchday experience, retail, community/charity and media. Other groups will also be set up as the initiative progresses, while the current Disabled Supporter Association will cover accessibility issues. |  |

Trev’s job is to get the club ship shape for a potential sale to the highest bidder and there’ll be no due diligence as long as the price is right. It’s no wonder he’s bypassing the Trust. |  |

Birch starting to show some of his true colours maybe?
Or do you think this has this come direct from the majority shareholders? | |

At the end of the day they’re his employers. | |

Maybe Birch would like to tell us why he doesn't see the Trust fulfilling this role. | |

Why don't they make the supporters Trust the champion jacks?

Birch is nothing more than a manipulator, some see it some don't.
He needs to tread carefully. |  |

Interesting to see who applies for these posts, and if they’ve ever been Trust members. | | | |

In Alan Curtis and Leon Britton's hands, I feel safe, as for everyone else they can fk off. | |

The Trust only represents its members. I’ve thought and said for years, since receiving dividends, they should drop the fee and try and enrol everyone. Then they could claim to represent ‘the fans’ and would have a hell of a lot more clout.
There’s probably some logical reason why this can’t happen, which I’ve forgotten. I do that.
Trust views will be heard though. At Board Level. If I was Birch, I might want a wider confirmatory view too. Hopefully the two will coincide. They ought to. |  |

I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt and taking what he says at face value (at least for now). There shouldn't be any problem with Swans supporters with specialist expertise giving advice, and most season ticket holders aren't members of the Trust so there is untapped talent out there. I don't see that it affects the Trust in any way, but personally I won't be applying - don't fancy working unpaid for a bunch of millionaires. [Post edited 21 Sep 2019 23:57]

Surely every Swans fan from all walks of life should be The Trust - no charge, | |

Why 'no charge'? Paying a nominal fee (= 3 pints) shows a bit of committment. Not much, but some.
Just curious, how many members does the Trust have? [Post edited 22 Sep 2019 0:03]

Make it a pound then. I know there’s the pod at the ground but there needs to be more leafleting to get the message across. A newsletter- just one page as a flyer, should be handed out to every supporter at every home game. Get them distributed in the pubs too. I’m sure there’d be plenty of people who’d be more than willing to help. To be honest the Trust is doing great work behind the scenes but really needs to spread the message at games. Not everyone is social media addicted - the periods of silence are just too long. | |

Your last sentence is spot on. Any supporters doing this for no money or real status would be open to predatory instincts. Another Judas. |  | | |

Perhaps Birch observed what a complete and utter mess the Trust made of sucking up to the old board whilst doing diddly squat about the ever increasing compromising supporters director payments from the club coupled with the takeover apparently coming as an out of the blue shock to them and has decided not to involve such an unaware organisation in a consultation process. | | | |
