Since Lew left, I dont believe the Club have anybody with Commercial Sense.
What harm would it do to give out 1000 free tickets to the local schools/communities/football clubs. Okay it may not generate the gate receipts but think of the bigger picture. (Commercially)
Accrington Stanley -Merchandise
50/50 Draw
Cheeseburger
Programme
The biggest of them all...... RETURN CUSTOM. The 'Stanley Bug' is infectious, once you've been on and experienced REAL football, REAL fans and non of this modern football tripe, they will come back.
'The Bigger Picture' The freebies catch the bug.
Pay on the gate, buy another programme, have another burger, buy a Stanley Scarf. Who knows come next season they might even buy a season ticket.. IF THEY GET THE PRICING RIGHT.
Moving on, Gate Prices are too expensive particularly just before Christmas, Im also surprised not one thing has been done all season with regards to Offers, Promotions etc well not that I know of because it hasnt been fronted enough. (There have been a few signs propped up here and there with 'Next Fixtures')
Dagenham 5th January - Almost Perfect Opportunity! Chesterfield would be good but they will bring too big of a following.
Put Dagenham Fans in the Cowshed -(dont charge them £17 or whatever it is)
OPEN THE COPPICE for home fans.
Adults/Students/Concessions: Fiver
Kids: Free
I suspect it may be a little too late now.
Anyway Rant over.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
