Re: Poor Gates

Again I'm not complaining, but money is tight for a lot of people on a limited budget, or with finacial commitments. Of course it is a lot cheaper for a family to come and see Stanley than to go to a theme park, but you don't go there week in week out, and that's what the club needs fans to do.

The club is lucky in the fact that it has a very committed hardcore of fans who will be there rain or shine, win or loose, sadly the fair weather fans are more fickle.

From a business point of view, unless there was maximum attendance, I would be looking at ticket pricing and packages. A weekly family ticket is a great idea, bearing in mind that it doesn't have to be a Mum and a Dad, but just two adults and a given number of children.

Again I'm not critising anybody, but my job in London was to raise the profile of the fashion company I was working for on a minimum or non existant budget, so I know it can be done, but the profile of the club needs perhaps to be raised, and not just in the back pages of the Observer. I would perhaps be trying to get the press to do a main feature on our new international Romuald Boco's take on playing in Accrington, I would also be onto the press, including tv, trying to get them to do a feature on the forth coming cheer leaders.

We are lucky, we have a famous name, lots of people who don't even follow football know our name, even if it is only because of that bloody milk advert!

Yesterday was a great day, perfect weather, a good match, and three points. Lets hope we can build on this, and hopefully see a bigger attendance soon.

To anybody who is reading this who doesn't go to support the team, as a new fan myself, it is a great afternoon out, and worth the money just to listen to the Ultras and their sometimes very witty repartee.

If I can perhaps help in anyway with the skills I have gleaned working in Google Page Ranking, I would be more than happy to.
