We're trying something a little different... bear with me, and maybe join in... We wanted 4,000 fans at Victoria Road on October 24th, when the Daggers host Chesham. This season, attendance has been around 2,000 per match. On October 24th, with West Ham playing at the same time, we would typically expect to be a bit down on that figure. I want to change that. Instead, we want to invite the entire communities of Dagenham, Barking, Redbridge, and Havering into the stadium — and tickets are ONLY £1! However, at the Daggers, we don't have a multi-person marketing team or brilliant agency pals to help us get the message out. At £1 to see the @Dag_RedFC , together with KSI!? It should sell itself. But thinking that would be naive. People's attention is constantly in demand. So, we're seeking your help and enlisting a team of friends, fans, builders and hackers to help get this message out with us. Join the first ever Daggers 4000 Hackathon, starting Thursday, October 1st. What is it? It's an invitation to help sell tickets to the match — and teams that deliver the most new fans to the game can win a £1,000 cash prize, courtesy of our partners at Tixr. Why "hackathon"? Because we're looking for teams to try, push, break, bend, hustle and hack their way into solutions that reach new fans. Whether you simply get your extended family to sign up, or you can get the ticket link onto the front page of Sky Sports News... no bad ideas. Sign up below and link in the comments. More info on the poster. And more info to follow. I am not totally sure what's going to happen, but I look forward to finding out! See ya out there. Happy hacking.
