Anyone Excited?

[Bagpuss]

I will start this thread for depechemode, I hope it passes the Zombie Test.

Anyone excited? I am. I would be more if we signed someone to partner Mullin up front.
I’ve put the fixtures up at work and already started booking trips for clients to watch the matches. My sons are gearing up for the new season, now all we need is to know is the design of the new strip.
I’m thinking of bringing a brick with me to each game to try and save Eric a few pounds on building materials for the new stand.

Im guessing by the lack of responses that nobody is over excited about the start of the season!

I'm not excited at all. I'm going to try to be more positive this coming season, but I'm not looking forward to it. I'm not sure what it is, but interest levels are still pretty low.

Im with Tm on this, and my guess is that it is the lack of any significant info coming from the club that is causing me not to get excited, I havent even bothered to go to any pre season games.......not like me......and TBH I really dont fancy going to the Burnley one either.

Sadly I feel rather apathetic towards the Club at the moment, am I the only one, I wonder?

With possibly three teams starting on minus points and the rubbish served up last season along with the lack of transfer activity so far I have the same feeling.

Am I going to run out of people to stand with and be insulted by ?

Slowly my optimism level is rising

I am hopeful that the three lads who came through the Youth setup will make an impact, two of the signings we have made so far carry a wealth of experience at a higher level and hopefully will help to bring a more solid unit on the pitch.

Hopefully the Exhibition will raise awareness of the Club in the town itself, particulary with the Kids and encourage them to come along to the FES with their Parents to home games it would be great to see our Home gate average move nearer the the 1600-2000 mark the Season Ticket Sales are a great start.

I hope that by keeping the squad size down and overall wage bill less that this is with the New Stand in mind. I am pretty sure as always there is lot going on behind the scenes that we do not see that over the coming weeks & months will bear fruit both on & off the Pitch.

There are things that do worry me!! But is that not part & parcel of being a Football Fan especially following Stanley? but more importantly we are still a Football League Club, what would you have given for that 5,10,15,20 or 40 Years Ago?

Bring on the Burnley

I think you're spot on Cowboy. There has been very little information coming out of the club since the end of the season and I'm slowly losing interest. I know that we haven't signed many players (only one properly signed I believe), but what's stopping the club from keeping fans up to date with how training is going, what Coleman's been up to, etc, etc?

I posted some time ago about the dangers of alienating the fans, but nothing seems to have changed. I can honestly say that I'm less interested now than I have been in years. Shame really.
