Boom in bookings for an initiative worth over 30 thousand euros “Despite a year behind closed doors, the enthusiasm is alive”
/ TREVISO
Can’t fans enter the stadiums yet? Playoffs prohibited to the public? And Treviso Basket makes hardbacks. The idea of placing cardboard shapes on the stands of a sports hall is new for De ‘Longhi who, pending the possible go-ahead, albeit partial (it could take place in the semifinal), has decided to fill in the empty spaces of the Palaverde , in fact, a series of cardboard images. But not just any people, but his supporters, who have been missing from those seats since February 2020. And so he launched the “Your face for TvB” initiative. The response of the supporters and partner companies has been formidable: so far there has been the reservation of 655 cardboard templates personalized with the photo, which will be present as virtual supporters, in the absence of those in flesh and blood, in the stands at Villorba in the playoff home games, on the television side. This clearly applies at least to garatre.
The concept is to give support from the loyal fans to the club, to provide a sign of passion and a sense of belonging. At the end of the playoffs, those who bought the “silhouettes” will be able to collect them to keep a memory of this particular sporting season. It is the first time that Treviso Basket participates in the postseason, it will be easy to understand then that for this club that is still very young and almost new to Serie A it is a truly historic event. And here we have found the system to make the team feel less alone and to make the fans understand that in some way they will be present too.
The proposal of the biancazzurra company was to purchase as a form of closeness and support to the company (50 euro single shape, 40 child, 100 family 2 + 1), one or more cardboard shapes that can be customized with your own photo or company logo . As mentioned, membership was welcomed with enthusiasm, with many TvB supporters who wanted to be there even if only virtually, in such an important event as the baptism of fire of De ‘Longhi, which no later than 9 years ago he still played in the promotion with the kids at the swimming pool. This of course always waiting for the official dates and to know the opponent of the first round. «Thanks to our fans – commented the general manager Giovanni Favaro – who once more have shown us their affection and passion by joining this initiative that we have proposed. A way to color Palaverde and create a little frame around an event that is historic for us, such as access to the playoffs. It is nice to know that despite a year of games behind closed doors the enthusiasm and the desire to participate is still alive, thanks to everyone and we really hope that these are the last matches without our people at Palaverde, it was really difficult for us to live this. year without the warmth of our fantastic support ». –
