Gentlemen,
We 'regulars' all have our own reasons why we devote our time & money in supporting our beloved club. It's convincing the uncommitted 'armchair' fans of Accrington to get off their backsides and experience the atmosphere that only live football can provide.
How can we all help the club to achieve this? Well, we all have family & friends. If every 'regular' brought just one mate along, we'd almost double the attendance!
The club must play their part in this, as you won't hook anything without bait.
What about 'bring a friend for ten' (£10) or 'bring a kid for a quid', aimed at season ticket & loyalty card holders.
Yes, these fans would benefit from a discount, but they are people who would not normally even be there. The club would get some extra income and more importantly, the gates would increase.
The club could run this for a limited time only. As Lord D has inferred, once we've 'hooked-em', hopefully some of them will start to crave the drug that is Accrington Stanley and come back for more.
This season, I've cajoled a couple of friends to attend and they've found that they loved it and now look forward to home games.
So come on Stanley, give your regular fans an incentive and we'll all bust-a-gut to help improve things for everyone.
