Town@Training?

Havens problems surely were all down to last years lets throw everything at it to go up first time attitude and nothing really to do with this years money worries .If the Board budgeted on unrealistic gates well that is always a gamble . When Town got into trouble in the 90`s it was a similar situation , trying to gain promotion the season after relegation instead of taking stock .

No glossing over anything wanted 2000 got 1500 probably between 500-600 fans from bradford so i would make that around 400 up on a standard gate would town not be happy with 400 more fans sometimes people cant see the forest for the trees, im certainly happy but proof will be at the next home game.

What was the crowd at town today mate

lots down at the rec that i havnt seen for along time.

You should really compare both crowds at the same fixture which I believe whitehaven had 110 more people, but if you factor in the tickets were only a tenner at the Haven game town will have taken a lot more on the gate

[Davo5]

Didn’t Town have a good win today against a fellow promotion hopeful,seems strange that the usual crew only want to post about the game at Whitehaven.

Probably true gonch not going to argue but this wasnt just about money over the turnstile which quite obviously in towns case was a quick fix, its more about trying to generate a intrest in the club again so we have a decent gate every home game

Both clubs need to engage better with there local amateur clubs that’s a huge target audience for ticket sales that remains untapped into

We got 1350 without this mass call for fans to Save Haven......Call Bob Geldolf now it's critical. 

Bulls brought 400 to D.P 

It's a status quo because of their draw

Let's be honest.. you are f#####

Think were along way of being f#### as you call it at the end off the day we have more or less got the 60k, pretty much got sponsership for next year and a new board who want what both haven and town fans have been crying out for i for one am excited at the end of the day they have generated more interest in the last 2 weeks than ive seen in years. with out the bradford fans today we would of been knocking on the door of a 1000 fans which is an improvement which ever way you look at it but as i said before we will see what the next home game brings

It’s a pretty drastic way to generate interest . 

[notasdaftasilook]

I’m not sure going bust and having bucket collections is in the Chartered Institute of Marketing chapter on creating interest in your product to be honest. However, the cracks have been papered over so fair play

The majority will have been coming to watch Bradford not Whitehaven.

Why Gt at the end of the day its just a champ 1 game. Could it not be that old fans that have stopped coming decided to come out and support the club. Its pretty obvious you have a burning hatered for whitehaven you never answered my question on the other thread as to why you donated just so u could claim it back. very very sad bitter individual.

Because it was Bradford, that's my point

Dont think it was Ginock although it will of helped there seems to be a bit of interest around town at the minute, alot of fans claimed to stay away because of the price so haven addressed that for this game as ive said there was alot of old fans there that hadnt been down for along time 

[Ginock1]

I'm gonna be honest here. 

Do I want haven to go bust - No

Just be below Town. 

But be honest £10 to get in v the Bulls and only pull in 400 extra fans , I'd be very, very concerned.

its a start and a move in the right direction is it not.

[Ginock1]

Yep. Not sure who your next game is at home but that's a better indicator. As I say don't want to see anyone go pop. 

There's been a lot of interest, never seen as much Haven based traffic on socials but that's hard to replicate week in week out without resource.

Correct you addressed it but will you be charging £10 for the rest of the season against lesser opposition?

[notasdaftasilook]

There was an interview with the new guy on Facebook last night. He said they’d got interested in haven about 6 months ago. Last week in the paper he said the consortia had seen the call for help from haven recently and decided to become involved. Which one is it marra?
