Morning all,
during our Wellington Liverpool FC supporters club meeting last night (something we have to do an an official supporters club) we discussed the events we have for LFC games at one of three venues dotted around the city (mainly The Pub or Three Kings) and how good it would be to get some committed opposition fans along to games.
Part of what we discussed was targeting specific games, especially the ones played at more humane hours (12:45am on a Sunday, 7am Monday etc) and games that encourage more turnouts (derbies, rivalries etc.). With that in mind, we are going to be going through the fixture list (which is subject to change with European commitments) and then pick and promote certain games.
This has a flow on benefit for other supporter groups to meet up more often, for the bars that support LFC Wellington to get more people through the doors and most importantly, get a great atmosphere going during games.
What I'll do is regularly add is when the next game is, what event we have set up and I'll also add a reminder the opposition for that week.
We'd naturally love it if people became involved with our events. As an official supporters club, we are making efforts to give back to charities, not only those connected to LFC but also local charities. The game vs Bournemouth for example saw us donate food items to Wellington City Mission. City Misson Tweet
We look forward to seeing more fans from other teams (as well as more LFC supporters) at the games and i'll be back later today with details of Liverpool vs Arsenal for Tuesday next week.
