Re: Poor Gates

Admission prices for the Conference were dictated by the FA not by the club. £12 is still not a lot when you consider other modes of entertainment. Alton Towers will cost a hell of a lot more plus travel etc. I was seconded to spy on Burton albion 1st game in their new stadium. £14 for a seat & believe me it is not that spectacular a ground as loyal fans will see next week.
Try looking at the new blood brought in this season. Ok Rory & Lee have gone but the club has never stood in the way of players progress. There is a nucleus of reformating what I consider to be a young new team who will be as good if not better once they have gelled. & just wait for Boco to start. The speculation regarding his arrival at Stanley is purely that, management know nothing other than he is an exiting prospect, brilliant on the ball & has superb prospects for the future, & only 20 yrs old.
OK we are in the shadow of two league teams but I have seen as dull a game at Blackburn for double the money. They may be premiership but are still only a low to mid rated team there & their best gates come from when the top end teams play there.
Stanley still have ambition & drive. We all want to see the club back where they belong, in the league & that will cost & has to be paid through the turnstiles. So yes, the club will bully people to come back & so will us loyal fans because we have faith that Accrington Stanley will restore exiting football & achieve the dreams of its chairman & fans. The best thing is that when it happens we will be able to say "WE WERE THERE!" [I]
