Re: How to increase attendances?

For me we STAY AT THE CROWN GROUND!...Whatever it is called re sponsors etc?
The Crown ground has ALL the history of our modern reincarnation re Jack Barret, Jimmy Hinksman et al.
However, I do feel that we need to improve......no SERIOUSLY improve the infra structure in and around the ground! The toilets at the Clayton End are a disgrace and I hope that they are much better in the away end?!? The areas around the stadium are a mess and full of litter. They could be easily improved with a "volunteer" clean up organised by the fans. The club could then economically get some local builders in to build some retaining walls and fully tarmac the walk on areas and car parks. A few plants, welcoming and informative signs and a regular "tidy up team" could make it much more welcoming for home and away supporters.
I would like to see the club get some sponsorship / grants in order to put a roof on the Coppice End and to build a decent stand on the Whinney Hill side of the ground. Our ground might just start to look like a proper Football League ground rather than a hotch potch Non League ground.
OK ...nice ideas I know and I am not so naive not to realise that it would need some money to come from somewhere but I think that is where we should be aiming on the non playing side.
On the playing side....get James Beatty signed up on a longer contract now and also sign up longer contracts for the large bulk of the players in the current squad too.
ON STANLEY ON
