[Tex/LaTex] Header/Footer formatting on Title page

abstractfancyhdrheader-footertitles

I've spent the best part of an hour trying to make a footer/header on my title page and I'm getting so frustrated, any help appreciated.

I just need my university name at the top and my supervisor at the bottom. I've tried various things, the only thing that's worked was overriding the {empty} style with a head and footer. But then when I try to make an abstract paragraph on the next page, its putting the same header and footer in there. I think its because the abstract uses \thispagestyle{empty} as well, but I don't know how to override it. Any help appreciated.

\documentclass[11pt]{report}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{amsmath, amssymb, amsfonts}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{plain}

\fancyhf{}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{\iffloatpage{0pt}{0.4pt}}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{\iffloatpage{0pt}{0.4pt}}
\fancyhead[L]{\iffloatpage{}{University}}
\fancyfoot[C]{\iffloatpage{}{Supervisor}}

\begin{document}


\title{\textbf{Title here}}
\author{My name}
\maketitle
\thispagestyle{fancy}

\newpage


\begin{abstract}
Abstract goes here....
\end{abstract}

\end{document}

I think creating a custom titlepage is more suited than to fiddle with page headers and footers. 

\documentclass[11pt]{report}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\begin{document}
\begin{titlepage}
    University
    \vfill
    \begin{center}
        {\LARGE\bfseries Title here \bigbreak}
        {\large My name \medbreak}
        \today
    \end{center}
    \vfill
    Supervisor
\end{titlepage}
\begin{abstract}
    Abstract goes here....
\end{abstract}

\end{document}
