DNSYE - DAVE MESSENGER UPDATE SPECIAL

Justin, Peter and eventually Carl (who was reciprocating for us on a Stoke City podcast) get to have a follow up discussion with Head of EDI Dave Messenger to go through the metrics reported at the start of the month (see link for website article) discussing the number of incidents and the types of outcomes reported last season and the season before relating to the "We" campaign that we talked about last season. The number of incidents have reduced which is great news but we go into which types have increased, which have decreased and which have stayed the same and why that might be. We then look at what Dave and his team do with each of these incidents and what the outcomes might look or feel like. In addition we find out where the line is drawn between home games, away games and also on club run courses. We find out what it might mean if you find a yellow card on your seat (don't panic), what is a “behaviour agreement” and why self-policing like grown ups has a part to play in retaining our own identities and values in a positive way and help reduce stadium bans. We discuss the collaboration between clubs and whether other clubs report these kinds of instances. It is essential to state that the number of incidents reported is a tiny fraction of the number of supporters who come to Vicarage Road or follow the Hornets away each season and the numbers are going in the right direction – so good news. We also have confirmed that an arrest is made the moment anyone steps onto the pitch (so stay off it guys) – which would have made the Troy goal v Leicester pitch invasion a nightmare of police paperwork!!!
