The Fan Experience EXPERIENCE Podcast

Season 4: Episode 6: Shaun Lockwood (Club Doncaster)

Mark Bradley & Darren Young

Welcome to Season 4 of the Fan Experience EXPERIENCE: the podcast that celebrates the power of great fan experiences: an army of walking ambassadors for your club and a proven route to filling your stadium week in week out.

We bring you chats with some of the UK's most experienced and interesting fan experience practitioners. We know they're good because their clubs all achieved GOLD status in the EFL (English Football League) Family Excellence programme (2023/24).  And, because they take a strategic approach to fan experience, they are rewarded with increasing attendances.

This episode reunites us with an old friend and long-term fan experience leader. Shaun Lockwood (Chief Commercial Officer at Club Doncaster) has been innovating at Doncaster Rovers since first arriving at the club in 2008. One of the very few clubs to continually achieve a gold award season after season time, Rovers have been the architects of many 'firsts' in fan experience.

On this episode, Darren and Mark hear about the club's new idea: a Family Pack designed to make match days magical for the club's youngest fans (and a whole lot more).
