EFL Family Excellence Awards

[Leighton Red]

A record number of 68 EFL clubs have been formally recognised for their efforts in ensuring a brilliant family experience.

‘The EFL’s Family Excellence Scheme assesses the family experience Clubs provide, and rewards them with Gold, Silver and Bronze status (introduced for the first time in 2023/24) for the quality of their match experience across a range of touchpoints including ticket purchase, matchday entertainment, accessibility, facilities and communications.’

Wrexham didn’t feature among the 68…

‘The EFL Family Excellence Scheme was introduced in 2007/08. The Gold, Silver and Bronze system was introduced for the first time in 2023/24 and was developed to further incentivise improvement at Clubs and enable the EFL to increase feedback and support on where Clubs can improve the family experience they provide.  

Clubs are visited twice throughout the season by independent family assessors and then awarded their rating.’

Perhaps something for the new CEO to consider next season??

Not surprising when they don't have a family section. When the new kop is open it would be good to make a proper family section area some where in the ground.

With tickets being so hard to come by and especially next to each other it must be nigh on impossible for families to get tickets for games.

Are we at risk of losing the younger generation of fans as they simply can’t get tickets for games?

Add on top of that the cost of multiple memberships for a family.

The Kop end of the mold road stand was always designated the family area

We are gaining kids at quite a rate I think. Wrexham shirts being seen on kids everywhere. Plenty of youngsters around me in the MRS.

Back in the day, wasn't it called the paddock, or kids paddock, or something like that? (My memory is failing me)

Yes, Paddock. Early 60s, part of the Tech End was the Boys' Pen (cos gals didn't go to footy then! :evilgrin
