Are you able to offer your time to aid the club with efforts towards the Gold Bond draw? I’ll come back to this one later on.

Can you attend Supporters Club meetings and are you willing to get stuck in and give Pendle Red and his team a helping hand?

Do you know of anyone who may be in a position to sponsor the club in any way? It might be something that already exists, stadium, shirt, match, ball, advertising board etc or it might be something that you have thought of yourself, for example when we had corner flags and injury time sponsored!! Every little helps and if you have the ear of somebody like that then please have a word.

Have you got a particular skill set that the club could make use of? You might be a plumber, builder, joiner or a roofer and your skills could be put to use for an hour or two here and there. My suggestion would be that if you have anything to offer then let’s set up some form of register that the club could call on if needs be. I’d love to see (for example) two plumbers step forward so that one plumber doesn’t get the call every time, come on folks let’s share the workload.

The last thing I would ask on this post is that if any of it has struck a chord with you, or you agree with my sentiments, don’t just nod your head, get up and do something. If nothing else then please remember my words. You might not be arsed to do something this week but next week you might. Or if my words inspire you then please try to use them to inspire others.

We can do this. Just believe.

The Official Supporters' Club and Accrington Stanley Supporters' Fund
have got together to follow macca's suggestion of setting up a Volunteers Register.

There will be posters around the ground and handouts giving contact information for anybody who can help in any way - skills as well as time alone will be equally welcome.

Once we have your details we will contact you. Many thanks in advance.
