Stadium Experience, the membership organisation that represents over 45 football
clubs in the UK has appointed a new Chair and Vice Chair.

During their bi-monthly membership meeting held at Walsall Football Club in March, Tony Watson, Head of Non Matchday Sales for Sodexo at Everton Football Club was elected Chairman and Kyle De Klerk, Business Development Manager for Chelsea Football Club was elected Vice Chair.

As well as providing clients with a free service Stadium Experience is a well
represented membership organisation with a collaboration of 45 football clubs in
the UK and expanding, including the country’s most famous stadia such as Wembley, Emirates, Liverpool’s Goodison Park and Anfield and Manchester Uniteds, Old Trafford to name a few.

Football stadia are often overlooked as potential venues for conferences, meetings
and events because they are in some cases purely associated with sport and are not recognised as the fabulous venues they really are. Stadium Experience is keen to spread the word that these unique venues are the perfect place for many types of
events, and can offer more then your average hotel or conference centre. “Stadium
Experience is helpful in raising the profile of football stadia as multi purpose venues able to host quality events and conferences as opposed to purely accommodating football matches” Shirley Pinn of Stadium Experience commented, “They have so much to offer every corporate client.”

Tony Watson from Sodexo at Everton said “In the current financial climate,
companies need to be sure that when they choose a venue for their event or
conference that they are getting good value. Stadia are a great choice, with amazing
food, free parking in most cases, large function suites and the added benefit of the
interest factor of being in one of the UK’s legendary sporting venues. I am looking
forward to working with all the members of Stadium Experience to ensure that stadia are promoted as the fantastic venues that they are.”
