Olympic Stadium Independent Supporter Consultation FAQs
Who can take part in the poll?
The poll will be open to a cross section of supporters aged 18 and over including Bondholders, Season Ticket holders, Academy members, Corporate members and match attenders. The Club was keen to ensure that every Bondholder, Season Ticket Holder and Corporate Seasonal Member i.e. those that currently attend every match week- in week- out were prioritised.
This is why for supporters who are in one of these high relationship categories but for whatever reason have not registered their email address with us to enable us to contact them via this means, there is the opportunity to be registered and verified via the online link. This means each and every supporter that falls into one of these categories can take part.
YouGov have also selected a range of Academy Members and recent match attenders that reflect a fair representation of the database in line with standard protocol for carrying out polls of this nature.
