Scenario
Havering Whitecaps
Maddy Wright and Katy Parrish have supported Havering Whitecaps since their boyfriends played for the team. Their boyfriends’ careers and the teenage romances are now very much in the past but their support of the team remains as strong as ever.
Until 15 years ago the Whitecaps were a struggling non-league team with little support.
There were times, on wet and cold November afternoons, when Maddy and Katy were the only supporters.
In 1999 a magical thing happened to the Whitecaps. At that time the team’s position, both in football terms and financially, was perilous to say the least. However, a financial backer appeared in the form of Harold Adenyi.
Harold had studied at the local college and even played a few games for the Whitecaps.
His progress as a footballer was hampered by a lack of ability. He gave up on a career as a footballer to concentrate on what he was good at, which was IT and mathematics. He made a large amount of money by creating an online accountancy website called lesstax.com.
