Lowland League Caledonian Braves launch app to let fans take control
Supporters will be able to vote on decisions to map out the club's future
Lowland League outfit Caledonian Braves are set to give fans a hands-on role in how the club is run after launching a new app.
Fans who download the app will be able to vote on decisions ranging from calling heads or tails before kick-off to setting board agenda items.
They will also be able to take a 'virtual' seat at the boardroom table as directors plot out the club's future.
Braves owner Chris Ewing has taken the decision to hand over control to supporters as part of his ambitious strategy aimed at securing a place in the Scottish Professional Football League by 2025.
The launch of the app coincides with the release of a new documentary called Brave Calling on the STV Player which chronicles the journey from the club's inception in the South of Scotland League as Edusport Academy to its place in the Lowland League.
Ewing said: "This is a hugely exciting time for all of us at Braves. From the outset, we have been motivated to do things differently and to make our club as accessible as possible in a modern, inclusive and innovative way.
"Ultimately, we are about putting the big decisions in the palm of fans' hands. Fan engagement is at the heart of what we do and the Braves App enables us to put the online audience at the heart of everything we do from the boardroom to the dressing room, to the front office.''
The Braves app can be downloaded from the Apple App Store or Google Play App Store by searching 'Caledonian Braves'.
