Can you blame the "apathetic" Accy public when most of them are being charged £20 a game for fourth division football? It's ludicrous pricing.
It seems that the decision makers at the club would rather have 1,000 people in at £20 a pop than 1,500 people at £15 a pop. Coley himself isn't happy with the hike in home ticket prices.
There is always a hardcore number of fans at any football club, but the casual fans, floaters, drifters or whatever you want to call them need to be given a reason to get down to the Crown.
The more successful Accrington Stanley is, the more bums will be on seats at 3pm on Saturday afternoons.
I realise it's a Catch-22 situation as the club needs the money from the people to put back into the squad but, simultaneously, pricing people out of going to the game isn't the way to go.
