Re: New Sky Sports Fanzone Now Online, could be my best yet.

I'd have to disagree about the gate prices being too high. Excluding special offers and discounts, on a general league game basis we are the cheapest in the football league with the cheapest season tickets to boot.

I know people always trot out the old "But Rovers is 15 quid against West Brom next blah blah blah" argument, but the truth is gate money counts for very little in the Premiership and is offset by the huge amounts of television money et al generously donated by Mr Murdoch.

I think lowering prices wouldn't have substantial enough effect to warrant it, that is, I don't think enough new fans will come to make it worthwhile. For example the Burton game next week is a fiver yet I don't think we will suddenly be swamped with 4,000 on.

To steal a quote from Wynonie in a previous thread "Never underestimate the apathy of the Accrington public."

This Stanley team in my opinion is offering excellent value for money.

But an otherwise excelent column. Well done.
