With the new Championship season just around the corner, Rovers have continued to keep their foot on the gas in bringing new supporters to the Club . The Club launched on Monday this week at Purston Infants our ambitious campaign to put 6,000 season tickets in the hands of children of the Town and the wider District.
With season tickets sales already 15% up on last year’s numbers, it is expected that this initiative will see Rovers numbers break all records at the Club. The campaign will see visits/activities with all primary, secondary schools in the area together with training sessions at all our local Community Clubs. We will also be working closely with local partners such as Wakefield District Housing to have a free open day for all tenants in the area together with some specific outreach work with community groups in all areas of the Five Towns. All members of the Rovers first team squad will fully participate in the sessions
Chairman Paddy Handley stated “There is a real buzz around the Club at the moment and we want to leave no stone unturned in bringing new young supporters and their families for a visit to the Millennium Stadium. We are working hard on the field with James Ford’s impressive new team and off the field with a new match day experience so everyone at the Club will be working hard to ensure that once these new supporters sign up, they will be a Rovers fan for life”
