Ladies and gents, are you not concerned with the pricing? If we want to compete in the football league long-term then the first task is to attract the locals which puts the club in direct competition with backburn and burnley to name just 2. We cant compete in terms of facilities, we cant compete in level of football or attractiveness of opposition teams. But we can compete in pricing. £17 or £15 is way to expensive. And before someone points out the £2 saving, floaters do not pre book. Its well known you can turn up at blackburn and pay £20. So who in their right mind will pay £15 for league 2. The season tickets should be more expensive and walk in prices should be £10. Until people in the town and beyond subconciously link going to stanley with a tenner then the club will continue to service its existing customer base. And mamx i add, ticket pre book systems outside the top league are a 100% waste of time. Congradulations to the software firm who convinced our genius chief exec to buy it.
