Huge congratulations to Wimborne Town Football Club. The club had ambitious plans and the aim of becoming not only a fantastic place to watch and play football in Dorset, but to be at the centre of the community. We’re delighted to have worked with them to boost their attendances which have gone from strength to strength season on season. With a 400 average gate now regularly reaching 800+ in just over two seasons. Whilst helping to grow and set the strategy for all their supporter communications across all channels. Which is now being taken fully in-house to grow again! If anyone is looking for the attendance secret, don’t look further than understanding your audience, empower your volunteers and build, build & build your email database. #UpTheMagpies
As we finally draw the curtain down on a championship winning season, and start planning for the new season, it's important to take stock and reflect one last time on the amazing achievements and progress made throughout the club in 2023-24… 🔝 League Champions – mission accomplished! 🔝Our Women’s Team achieved a League & Cup double. ⬆ Our Reserves finished 2nd in the Dorset Premier League. 💥 Our U18’s reached the 2nd Round of the FA Youth Cup. 🙌 We’ve broken our home league attendance record twice including a staggering 2,307 against Frome. 💪 We had 3 attendances of over 1,000 including 1,852 against Torquay in the FA Cup. ⚽ We averaged a crowd of 761 for every home game. ✍ We signed a 2-year deal with AFC Bournemouth to play their Academy games at New Cuthbury. 💡 We upgraded our Floodlights to LED and to Conference standards. 🍔 We opened a new tea hut to allow us to expand our food offering. ⭐Our skipper made his 616th appearance for the club – a record equalling total. ❤️ We have more youth teams attached to the club and children attending games than ever before. ✔ Social media engagement is at its highest ever - X followers increase was the largest in our division and we has 150k impressions for our Championship winning post and our Instagram followers have increased by 1,000! What a season! Next year will be a tougher challenge as we step up to the Southern Premier Division, but we’ve got some real momentum both on and off the pitch #UpTheMagpies! ⚫ ⚪
