[QUOTE=Lord Didsbury;1180921]Even if you made it 50p entry it won't encourage fans to go (but high prices will discourage people).

What drew you in? What made you hooked?

As a recent fan, it was an off chance visit to the York cup match. I loved the whacky ground, loved the ultras singing, the warmth of the bar at half time and the football was ace. I also loved it because I knew the history of the club.

think my experiance of first going to stanley was similar to yours. first visit in 2009 knowing i was coming back up north the next year. good game and loved the atmosphere and couldn,t wait to become a regular the following season. why did i try stanley anyway as rochdale or say oldham were a similar distance and bradford nearer. well the reason was history and nothing else. we should push this as far as we can. we,ve tried cheap tickets for games but they haven,t worked as its the same old lot that attend. we should also push the ease of parking near the ground and cheap parking as some places once you get past the residents only streets you need a taxi to get to the ground or pay 5 quid plus to park your car at the ground. we,ve a lot to offer and future fans don,t need to live within the boundary of accrington.
