In all honesty its just flogging a dead horse with stanley as the town just doesnt care about watching the club.

The only way you could get a few more is to improve facilities in the ground or to move the ground to a central position in the town.
At football clubs they have the hundreds of the prawn butty brigade type of fan that come to the game because of the experience and the facilities and for football league Accrington is as tinpot as it comes! From the dirty ground before you come in to the dirty portakabin toilets. These people who come with children who want these facilities come and then dont come back again. Dont get me wrong, im a minority that couldnt careless but unfortunately us minority doesnt keep the club afloat and carrys on that tinpot label. For more family's to come and more of the wealthier and upmarket kind of people you need better facilities. Maybe we need to invest on doing the cowshed up for offices etc and make it a family stand?

Another option would be to move the ground more central to the town and create a better ground for the club. This would become a more community based thing where more people would be visiting the ground and could actually see it!! How many people you could ask (including a taxi driver on saturday) dont know where the ground actually is! if your a general walk on fan sometimes they would rather stay in town with a pint then make the effort of venturing up to the ground.

Another idea is working with Ossy Mills again? they have so many people walking through that place its unreal! Get the merchandise selling in their with a ticket option too at the counters?

One main idea that i think could really boost the towns interest is having near to the town hall or in the town centre a massive sign saying who we are playing next and who away. Like burnley have outside their ground and rovers. But instead stick it in the town. It will jog peoples memory of what kind of clubs and who we are playing and will actually show whos football club this towns is instead of the thousands of blackburn and burnley fans.

The one people mention all the time is the stewards too. Alot of the time they are not welcoming at all and are constantly looking for trouble but im not saying much about this as im just fed up of it.

Unfortunately as we know it all costs money but unless you spend it you are never going to increase gates unfortunately and thats why sometimes we dont belong in this league. Also think the club needs to push more on away travel and help the fans back the club away like most clubs do.
