I have said this for the past 3 seasons Stanley would make more money with lower prices, there are too many high quality alternatives to lure away fans, and sometimes you have to face it Stanley are the cheap alternative for many fans, with if a better club is at a similar price they'll go there.

Ok to all those who like SamF above think it is our problem, how are we going to solve it, because god knows Macca tried with his red and white fortnight at the start of the season, and others have tried since and been met with the same abject apathy. IF it is our problem, then get of your backsides and do something about it - apologies to those that already do!
I did not say it would not affect Accrington Stanley, of course it will, but and it is a huge BUT, the club has to be made more attractive to both currect supporters and wavering ones. As has been said, Man Utd, City, Liverpool etc at Ewood are what we have to compete with followed closely by PNE, Leeds Utd etc the Turf. Playing the likes of Macclesfield, Torquay, Bury and Rochdale - well as a true Accy supporter, is what I would prefer
PS we can start with helping out Macca and the other supporters club members with the open day at the end of April for a start.
