The easiest things to do straightaway is to get a ground sponsor. I would also end the shambles involving the pricing structure of tickets on the gate being £2 more expensive. I feel that this is something that will discourage walk ons and roaming supporters, I think starting a loyalty scheme and a refer a friend scheme may help to increase gates and spending in the club shop.

One final thing could be to sponsor the clock, whereby each person pays a fixed amount of money to sponsor one minute of a game and if the first goal is scored in their minute then they receive a cash prize. If nobody scores then the money would be rolled over to the next game.

One final thing is just to say thanks to Ilyas to giving the supporters real reason to be hopeful for the future.

As has already been said, It does not matter how many shares or what percentage EW owns, they are worth nowt when the club is in reality owned by its creditors! However, with the new share issue, whoever buys them will dilute the shareholding of the cardboard one!

Long may it continue.

Agreed, but as regards charging £2 extra for walk ons, I'm not sure this is happening yet! The loyalty scheme is a good idea and no doubt will be picked up by the club when either Lew or Rob or whoever reads the board.

Nice idea, again lets hope someone from the CEO downward reads this and takes it on board at the club.

and finally - so says every true fan of Accrington Stanley.

Bring on the Toon - never looked forward to a match sooooo much
