[Forever Red]

We can get crowds in. Our averages in the conference were good because we were up there. But we have no god given right to assume that we will be up near the top of league two. We had hardly any rersources when we got into the league and what's changed? I just think the organisation of the club is still learning and has a lot to learn. But we've got to give it time. Last season we had a number of matches where we looked like the non-league kids playing out of their depth. this season we look like a league team.

I think that things like selling beer behind the Clayton End is starting to come into its own now and I noticed the bar queue was as long as the brew queue last Friday so it just shows what revenue we were missing out on before. I think they could really make more of the concourse area at that end. More people are spending half time there but there'd probably be even more if it was covered and/or at least lit.

The pitch needs to be improved and maybe if we had more cover at the away end visiting teams fans would be more keen to return - its been clear this year that most fans have thought 'been there and won't bother coming back'. the atmosphere at matches is great - I have a friend who's a Rovers fan but he can't help coming back to Stanley because in spite of the football on offer its actually fun! But for away fans the facilities are c**p.

We must be positive - we will be in the league next season so we've got another few months to plan for the future. Perhaps the supporters club should have some fundraising campaigns?
