Just do the simple thing you can do and don't transfer any feelings that engender doubt to the player's only positives.
End of season celebration (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter oakey
- Start date
Agree - 100% support as always at the ground. I'm normally fine when there - the doubts only occur when we're not actually playing

If it happens got to be a Craven Street roll in there somewhere..... 
Should we see it out, celebration will be May 4th, finishing at the memorial park. Enemy will play. Problem is, they are planning for up 150,000 people and they only have a 40,000 safety certificate for events at the park. Obviously not everyone will head there and many will just line the route, but they may have to ticket it, but apparently that's undecided.

Could be an easy fix. Have you been to a game or put money into the club in the last x months?
If not, back in your hole.
Yeah, it'll be a big day and loads will come out for it, but if the finish event is ticketed, there will be priority. They may up the numbers anyway, 50K could fit into 10% of the park.

I can't see King going for an event at the park for 40K and the council getting the cash when we own a stadium that cost host the same size crowd and we'd get the money.
Also way less cost. You've basically got to put in the infrastructure of Godiva if you're having it in the park. That's expensive and normally starts weeks in advance so would potentially need to start before promotion was confirmed.

It's already planned. Nobody makes any money from this, the volume of people will be huge and the logistics difficult, so it makes sense to manage that within the city centre. Stage it at the CBS and you'd be looking at many hours of road closures and you'd have huge numbers all day to manage, far more than who have tickets. vehicle access into car parks and access generally would be difficult (you probably couldn't even open them), whereas an event finishing at the park would be a rolling road block along the route passing through the city centre. Makes much more sense to set off from CBS through the city and then memorial park, it opens it up to more people and tbh i'd much rather it be a full day of celebration in town - and least those who didn't have tickets could enjoy the day in the city centre and actually be able to get there.

To be fair it would be very on brand for this city to manage to take a huge celebratory event, that in other cities brings people out spending, and run it at a loss or at best break even.
And perfectly on brand for the council to cancel Godiva as unaffordable and then put the vast majority of the infrastructure for Godiva in place anyway
Better for me anyway, few minutes walk from my house rather than needing to get up to the CBS.

Tbf isn't the bulk of the cost for godiva for paying the performers? That's also a 3 day event with multiple vendors involved. I suspect it would be ticketed in a way to cover costs, but there would be big knock on benefits for the city. I don't know exact details, just the broad plan. Regardless, I will be half soaked by 10am, so it'll be largely a blur.
imagine
A few years now / element Butnley paraded one around the pitch last year
What a brilliant street that is tooIf it happens got to be a Craven Street roll in there somewhere.....
