The B-Ark / Darlington away
« on: November 11, 2020, 09:11:29 AM »
Firstly got to say hope Nicky Hunt is ok. Suffered a bad injury with a few mins of the match to go. He collided with another Darlington player and stayed down, apparently a spinal issue / neck / back issue, horrible injury.
We played well and 0-2 a fair reflection of the game. Go with Platt as my man of the match, did his usual role of preventing opposition playing in Midfield. Fitzsimmons with a couple of good saves, Burrow and Tootle also stood out with good performances.
Thought Darlington's streaming service was really good, they certainly set the standard for the rest of the league. Didn't cut out once, multi camera setup, highlights at half time. They had a 'virtual match sponsor' which got a bit of advertising before game and mention at half time. Might be something we could do to get a little extra revenue in. They reported 1207 watched the stream including 276 from Boston (they ask whether support Darlington or opposition when paying) which is a very good number, not too far off what they would expect to have got last season at a home game, normally get around 1500. Most clubs only report getting a fraction of their normal attendance for streaming, maybe their high quality production setup has encouraged fans to watch. The 276 away fans about what I expected we would get, less than 100 would have gone in normal times on a Tuesday night? An argument to keep doing it post covid as there may be a financial net benefit for clubs and benefit most away team fans who wouldn't travel for Tuesday night games.
