15 years

Post by mattparker »

With the clubs 15th anniversary coming up (1st July) could this be a good opportunity to have another ‘ Legends day’ style event, inviting players from the early squads to play a match at Hayden road? We weren’t able to do anything for the 10th anniversary due to covid but this could be a fun day and raise money for the club/charities

Certainly not against the idea and not something I'd thought about. Would however welcome a discussion on here around the general appetite for something like this.

I love a bit of nostalgia as much as the next person, but given we would have to pay a standalone fee to hire the facility for such an event, separate to our usual rent/rates etc, and had Legends Day 3 years ago, is this something people think will see a 400+ crowd?
They say we've lost our money we're not famous anymore.....

Not sure if it would generate the same interest as the Original Legends day, that brought in old fans of the Max days who would not be interested this time round.

Godd idea but cant see it generating the income required to override the amount of work and costs to arrange it.
