Pat there’s been an open air cinema, circus, park and ride for NHS workers, limitless Lego, walking football,visits to schools and hospital at xmas,footy course’s every school holiday, the stadium is used most days for educational purposes, look up Study United or Scunthorpe United community sports and educational trust, and see the work they do for the community, even this coming Saturday there’s a remembrance for fans and players who have past away this last year,which as been well received by Hartlepool fans saying what a nice touch and hope their club take it on board. And all probably with no involvement from Swanny so let’s not deride all the things we do get right just to beat Swanny over the head.
I haven’t derided the things we get right, I’m deriding the things we get wrong. Many of the things listed above are nothing to do with the club and do nothing to entice old fans back or new fans in. The open weekends used to be a great way of doing this and still could be if organised and advertised properly, a great pre-season opportunity to launch new replica kits and associated training wear, season ticket offers. Which players do these hospital visits? I haven’t seen or heard of these in a long time?
