Wakefield Trinity • 140 years at Belle Vue - 14th April 2019
How I would ideally envisage it:
After checking feasibility and legals,
Announce the event and open a register of interest online and at the shop/club. (Doubles up as data harvesting.
"Wakefield Trinity Heritage Event
Sunday 14th April 2019 - celebrating 140 years at Belle Vue. 12 noon till late."
Held on the pitch and terraces. Temporary seats and cover on half of pitch in front of the hospitality boxes and cover on the west terrace. The weather is still cool (10-15°C) and a good chance of rain.
Basic format would be a 'This is your life' style history of the club. 14 presentations (one for each decade) throughout the day with pics, video and commentary on big screens. Ex players or family representative paraded/ interviewed for each decade.
In between presentations, have a number of short-sided games between different teams associated with the club across the top half of the pitch in front of the North stand. Age-limit, amateurs, youth, academy, reserves, women, pdrl. An example of 1st team training with commentary and insight from the coaching team.
An all-day exhibition of memorabilia telling the story of Trinity in the corporate section. Borrow some trophies from the RFL.
Food & drink available all day. Hog-roast possible?
Current, past and future sponsors wined & dined in corporate. Invite other celebrities and dignitaries.
Finish the final presentation with a meet & greet with the 1st team squad. Merchandise available for sale & to be signed.
Sun sets about 8pm. Move on to evening entertainment under floodlights. Bands & other acts + more food & drink.
A commemorative programme/brochure available before and during the event.
Features of the day to be released slowly over the next 5 months as they are confirmed.
Tickets to be made available only a month or so before the event, once the content is finalised. First come first served for those who registered interest. Pass-outs available with ticket stubs. Perhaps £10 for adults and £2 or free for kids. Trinity-based craft and other play activities available for kids throughout the day. "Fan Zone" activities.
Consider employing an events organiser. Target new & lapsed fans.
Possible? With 5 months lead time?
Any other ideas?
