advertising only on the website (which will appeal only to those who use it), advertising only as must pay online by 5pm monday - but hold on maybe not, advertising via leaflet poster for only a couple of days and then only in selected premises of Schultz's choice, is hardly the way to push cheap tickets is it?
I am the biggest (and possibly only) advocator of permanent £5 tickets - but they'd have to be publicised in a proper (and professional
) manner and be just what I said - permanent.
1st reason - it would give Ilyas a real indication of whether it is worth spending ten million of his own money on a new stadium or one million redeveloping what we have.
2nd - as a permanent price, for kids, adults, oldies, grant grabbers and everyone in between it is easy off the tongue, easy to remember and cannot be argued with as the most value for money ticket in the country.
3rd - Stanley have a ridiculous amount of bridges to re-build in Accrington and its surounds, marketed as a "finally giving something back to the community" its a no brainer winner.
but as I've said all along, on its own it wouldn't be that much of a winner (but I still believe it would be to some extent), but would need to be as part of a wider push on all fronts. Sadly the club as it stands would be in no position to do that (see 1st paragraph as to why).
