Re: Pies
Youre both right Coleys unfortunate remarks were taken the wrong way by a number of fans but i dont think either that or owing Blackpool a debt for letting them use BR for the cup game against Yeovil has anything to do with the low figures that come to Accy compared to other NW grounds.
In fact a lot of fans have a soft spot for the Accy fans after the day the Ultras came to BP after the previous floods with the big Banner and all the inflatables etc.
The truth is that they consider 20 quid to sit in the cramped Whinney hill seats with no proper facilities is a Joke in this day and age.
Secondly the catering is seen as a big issue both on quality and price and believe me they are experts on crap overpriced food given what they have to put up with at Brunton Park for the last 20 years.
Finally what ****es them of is the Loyalty card issue which is seen as a way of getting around charging away fans more than home ones for what amounts to considerably interior facilities.
Being stuck where i am in the middle i can see both sides points on most of the issues above but what disappoints me is that Stanley could double the amount of fans who would travel for the game if they just made a little effort and if they could do it against Carlisle you never know similar effort with other teams might just pay similar bonuses just think back to Blackpool last season and the 800 they brought to Accy wasnt much more than a third of what they took to Morecambe for a journey of a similar distance but one thats a lot easier both by car and definitely by train.
