I see the EFL have announced that 63 clubs have achieved “Family Excellence” status. Unsurprisingly GTFC are one of the 9 who haven’t managed it.

Embarrassing for the club, Fenty & the Trust.

Scunny get Gold Award status. Wow..you can actually run your club badly and have a relegation dogfight while still managing to treat your fans with respect!
Except at Grimsby Town. Boy are we overdue a huge change.

Not doubting the club do need to work on these things.
But an award status that's championed by Shaun Harvey....nah, I'll pass.

I'm sure we can all take this with a pinch of salt seeing as though it includes Hull City as having Family Excellence Status Having listened to RH often enough, hearing everyone moaning about the way their families are (mis)treated by the Allam's policies, for example charging a 4 year old 20 odd quid to watch a match, maybe the criteria that the "EFL" use need to be reconsidered Harvey stating the clubs are " being recognised for offering true family value and a consistently high level of service" …. you're having a laugh man!!

Lincoln must have a platinum award for family excellence.
They have 8000 people all related at every match 😉

| The wife was going away for a girly weekend. I jokingly remarked 'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football' 'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked She said 'Well you already know how to play football' |

More and more young people are making their way through the turnstiles in the EFL as clubs continue to find innovative ways to attract fans and their families.
New figures show that junior season ticket sales have increased by 37% over the past 10 years with 20% of all EFL club match attendees now under 16 years old.
Such an increase is testament to the efforts and evolving attitudes of clubs to attract new fans to their grounds with improved matchday experiences for all ages. These efforts are once again set to be recognised by the EFL’s Family Excellence Awards – an initiative rewarding clubs that deliver an outstanding experience for families.
Celebrating its 10th Anniversary this season, the Awards ensure each club receives two ‘mystery’ visits from families each season, who describe and score their experiences across six areas including first impressions; stadium vicinity; refreshments and everything that happens inside the stadium, as well as indicating overall ratings on friendliness and intention to recommend.
We want our clubs to be family friendly, to be welcoming, exciting and entertaining places to go, so that ultimately attendances continue to increase across the leagues."
The early indications this season are that clubs are increasingly turning to new technology to help recognise and welcome first time family attendees. The use of big screens for dancing and waving games, gaming consoles, and other technology, is also helping to provide interaction between clubs and young fans.
Across the vast majority of clubs the family experience in 2016 is almost unrecognisable to that which was on offer in 2007 with the majority of EFL clubs now offering specific family fun zones, access to games consoles, children’s entertainers, concourse entertainment, innovative locally-sourced refreshments, first time family/fan guides, family helpers, along with ‘magic moments’ with club mascots, players and enthusiastic family-friendly staff.
Thats the kind of thing we need to qualify.....not having a junior of that age i dont know what the club does do nowadays but pretty sure we dont do half of the things mentioned in that list.
