Speak now, or forever hold your peace

By


A typical response we get from sports teams is that they do not have any insightful information pertaining to fans.  In digging a little further, we realize  that sports teams are not asking their partners (social media,  merchandizing, ticketing, F&B, Corporate Sales, Sponsorship Sales,  Turnstile, etc) to provide any fan information to them.  All these  partners have the ability to collect fan information and are willing to  share it with the sports teams - if asked. (Partners realize this can only help their own business).
All teams don't necessarily know what information they need and what they will do with it. But that is ok. Our advice to teams is to just ask for whatever data the partners can provide and include this ask into the  partnership contacts that you draw up.  This is a solid building block for your fan relationship platform. 

As far as collecting fan information is concerned, the old adage "Speak  Now, Or Forever Hold your Peace" holds very true.

Editor’s Pick: India - West Indies

By
First Match - Abandoned Second Match - India Beat West Indies by 105 runs. Third Match - India Beat West Indies by 93 runs. Fourth Match - Hmm… I don’t really want to talk about it.
Oh well.. Here goes. It was a rather embarrassing defeat. The series looked very much in the kitty when India had to chase 190 runs. The faithful Indian Fans probably even started celebrating. Even though the first three wickets fell rather early, Rahane stuck in there and hit 60 runs to pave what looked like a really short road to victory. And then came Dhoni. No one would have even considered the chance of a defeat. Not even a pessimist.
Time moved slowly after that. Or at least Dhoni did. He batted and batted and batted. Remember that time Sunny Gavaskar scored a 174-ball 36 runs? It was 1975 all over again. Dhoni’s innings were just as excruciatingly painful. It would have been worth it had India won of course. India fell short of the target and West Indies won by 11 runs. They were probably surprised t…

Zone B match - Bengal meets Bengaluru. The Warriors and the Bulls. Wonder what the logic behind the name was. Oh well. These two teams are neck-to-neck with 22 points each.

India-NZ. As it happened.

By
And the series is leveled. Well. We saw the ODI series level. The third and final match was more than a blast. Despite having a ton of runs on the scoreboard, the match and the series could have gone either way. That was the best part of it. Course it was a world of entertainment for all cricket fans. Honestly even a third party not emotionally vested in the two teams could watch and appreciate the demonstration of fine cricket. Now the T20 series is looking the same way. India won the first match and NZ came back strong and hard in the second match. The match deciding the fate of the tournament is on 7th November. Boy are we interested or what. Let’s see what happened in the second match now.

New Zealand won the toss and decided to bat. A supreme not out 58 ball 109 runs by Colin Munro took New Zealand to the path of destruction. I mean look at the strike rate - 187.93. That is a mind blowing number. The other batsmen didn’t do that bad either. Martin Guptil’s 45 runs from 41 deliver…
