Re: Mansfield tonight

The club have tried to entice younger kids and did offer free tickets to any primary school leaver last year. But, Baldy and others are right; getting kids engaged is the only way to survive and the club just has to keep on doing it, year on year. Just because it didn't produce instant results isn't reason to stop doing it. The club has to be applauded and supported in trying to connect with Accy's kids.
I wonder if there would be any possibility of exploiting the success of Huncoat Primary given their Wembley glory only a few months ago? Could there be a challenge to all other primary schools in Hyndburn to take on Huncoat, played pre-match at Stanley's home games? Or even organise a series of inter-school games that result in a 'final' later in the year? Every kid playing would be sure to bring an adult and who knows, some of them might even come back to watch the Stanley.
