3.hit ebay big time set up an ebay shop

1.going to the people of accrington creating an interest to people that dont usually go to stanley
2 creating more interest getting people to buy a nuetral team nobody hates stanley
3.people who just browsing the internet and want a stanley top just order off ebay or the club shop link on the internet

How long have you been in business ?

Are there really any nuetral teams in football. If you are a football fan you generally tend to support a team.

plus send the odd top to the top music bands they might make it a trend to wear stanley tops

There are a lot of football fans who support other clubs who have an affection and interest in Stanley. I know that from living outside the area. It's these people who might well be prepared to pick up some item of Stanley merchandise if it was more widely advertised.

I think its friggin disgusting for so called fans to call for the head of Eric, John or Rob. They all live & breathe this club & got us in the League in the first place.

Of course we could do more, but we had "recruitment drives" in town & a handful came (the list never included Bagpuss, Cmonstanley etc etc)

The people you mock online are all in thebar after the game if you want answers / have suggestions then sort it out.

This is our most successful season EVER, for @@@@'s sake

[quote=Give us the old gree;367579] The club shop is ok but way overpriced, the mark up on the current Surridge catologue is very high. What about a sale in the club shop ??

Never mind a sale, a full on Asda Roll back.
I know several people who wanted kids Stanley shirts and ended up buying replica primadonnaship shirts off the market cos they were £20 cheaper. I think Macca will echo this, the greatest pride of the moment is to see the youngsters of Accy wearing Stanley Red, wanting to be Paul Mullin or Toddy instead of Gerrard or Beckham. The Stanley Kids shirts should be dirt cheap (even sold at a loss as a lost leader) kids is da future, kids should be free into matches with a paying adult, for every fiver you lose on a kid you could make 5 £13s from adults who think it better value. Why do kids stop being kids at 13 or whatever, d`ya think they got more money cos I think they got less. under 12 you`re probably going accompanied 13 - 16 year olds might go by themselves. So many tickets per home game should be given away to people who wouldn`t normally come what would be lost there`s still room.

I`ll echo Macca now, more people should be taking your comments from here and getting your Rsez down to the OSC meetings. The OSC is a different animal now, keen for action and forward thinking. It still needs many more people to add weight to it so that the (more sensible) issues raised here can be taken to the club and dealt with. I can fully understand that some of you are disillusioned with the OSC of the past but the future`s bright it`s Red and White. Its up to doers not moaners, whinging on here aint really gonna change much (except upset Rob Heys who`s probably working hard and worrying a lot more than you) spending a bit of energy on something you believe in will. If you don`t believe change and progress are possible you probably just don`t believe full stop. It`s not just an Accy thing it`s an English thing unfortunately.

Don`t think I think everyone`s got every minute of their spare time to devote to Stanley, I certainly don`t but my little bit and your little bit can be a whole lot of little bits that count for a lot.

This forum is a wonderful place for airing opinions and grievances but it`s not the be all and end all, it`s gotta be taken somewhere and made real or you might as well leave your complaints on your own answering machine.

I love you
I love Accyweb
I love Stanley

It is definitely wrong to completely disregard Eric's achievments, he and the directors have got this club back into the football league which was a pipe dream not too long ago.
However I don't think it's wrong to want the club you support and put hard earned money into to sustain their success.

But do we, as fans, really believe that with our low crowds, poor facilities etc that we might shoot through the pyramid ala Wimbledon. Oxford got a 12,000 crowdon Boxing Day in Non League we are paupers in comparison & should be proud of every minute in the League.

Crticism, suggestions, comments etc are fine but calling for the heads of our most successful chairman, manager & Rob Heys (who shared a terrace with many of us whilst in non league obscurity) is wrong wrong wrong IMHO

These people aren't faceless suits in a Premiership plc, they Accy fans with the best interest of our club at heart. They make mistakes, we all do. But criticism of this personal kind is for the Premier League fans with unrealistic targets & watered down passion.

We can all do our bit * we must continue till the good times roll again
