Duncan mentions earlier on that it doesn't feel like matchday in Accrington, and he's right. The thousand or so hardy souls make their own way to the ground and go pretty much directly there. In the 'good old days' of 10 years ago the Oaklea was bouncing pre match and had good numbers sat outside - but beyond that it still didn't feel like matchday.
I'd like to see a concerted effort by all to start to build the pre match atmosphere around town. Rather than the odd group here and there, how about 4-500 revellers enjoying a few pints in the town beforehand?
This could be coupled with a big push on handing out leaflets around the town centre and all local supermarkets. A 'kids are free' emblazoned effort and handed out to every single child wielding parent in the borough from 9am til 12pm - followed by the drinkers
