We all know a lot goes into being a fan. 

The week is not just about matchday. It’s about the build-up, the speculation, poring over your rivals’ form, getting the team news, and getting stuck into debate, online and off. 

And matchday is not just about the game. It’s about getting in the right kit, being with the people who matter, retracing that favourite route to the ground, taking in the flavour and the atmosphere. 

It’s about the nerves, the release, the pride or the post-mortem. Then it’s about doing it all again next time. 

Capitalising on fandom when it matters most

The result is only a part of it. Following a team is about identity, community and history, however it is you get involved. 

Some are in the stands every week, rain or shine, belting out every chant with their mates. Some are passing on a family tradition, or treating a client to the hottest ticket in town. Some live every second from the very edge of the sofa.

And to a supporter, no matter the level, their team is the centre of their sporting world.

Fandom generates loyalty, excitement, dedication, and activity that runs in every direction. It defines relationships and inspires all kinds of self-expression. 

Capturing non-transactional data

Yet too many teams find themselves locked out of this when it really counts – not least in the digital space. They sell tickets and merchandise, and pull in what they can from sponsorship and media rights. But they fail to truly capture the energy and economic potential around their club. 

They risk missing out on the untapped value of non-transactional data generated by their supporters - much of which now sits on third-party platforms - and they are not able to offer the benefit of a fully connected fan environment.  

This is where Tiparra comes in. Our team has deep expertise in animating and monetising digital communities in sport and culture. Our end-to-end, white-label solution gives teams of all sizes the tools to build an immersive and fully customisable platform, capable of integrated everything from quizzes and polls, loyalty to ticketing, scores and even interactive games. 

Deeper, more valuable connections

All of it is managed through a simple, dependable mobile app, delivered on a software-as-a-service basis. We like to see it as your digital clubhouse: a single hub for whatever matters to your fans, and a space that they can share together. 

For teams, this platform is a rich source of first-party data – a way to engage your most committed fans without losing control of the conversation, and information, to social media. It offers powerful analytics to guide your content and marketing strategies, tailor sponsorship inventory, and empower better experiences at every step. 

Taken together, that can be the basis of deeper, more valuable connections between teams and their supporters. Tiparra goes beyond simple fan engagement to deliver a single focussed 'digital clubhouse' that can become the central gathering and interaction point for fans across your club.
