150 Away Fans!?
 

We used totake that in the Unibond................

What is going wrong? Its not like Lincoln or Stockport is far? Very very puzzling............

However, on a positive note, those that went saw a very quiet set of fans & 20 or so singers outsinging them from start to finish.

Re: 150 Away Fans!?
 

To be fair, both these games were on weekdays. We certainly would have brought a lot more had they been on Saturdays.

:mad: its not very puzzling its the economics of accrington .theres a lot of companys that pay mininum wage or near so everybodys on a tight budget in the last 5-6 years wage increases in hynburn have been static at accrington stanley and other clubs admission fees have increased about 74% we have just reached the league at the wrong time if we reached the league about 1991 we would have at least an extra 1500 on the home gate cause average prices were only about £6.00 so the reason is greedy tv companys, greedy football assco that couldnt even organize to build a staduim, greedy agents ,greedy footballers with overgrown egos,football started as na upper and middle class sport and now they have reclaimed it back. this is only some of the reasons:mad: :mad: :mad:

What a load of tripe, we took around 800 to Chester/ If the Lincoln match had been on Saturday, we'd have taken a lot more, trust me

Re: 150 Away Fans!?
 

We'd have took over 1000 to Stockport for a Saturday game IMHO

Re: 150 Away Fans!?
 

There's something in what cmon stanley says though Diesel, yea course we'd have taken more on a Saturday but higher admission prices to grounds in this league do make a difference as to whether people can afford to go to as many away games

Re: 150 Away Fans!?
 

Not so sure, on a day like this, with no roof :rolleyes:

Re: 150 Away Fans!?
 

Totally agree.....

Look outside now and tell me how many people would be stood on open terraces ???????????????

Re: 150 Away Fans!?
 

Do you think the Main Stand would mind if we borrowed their roof? Maybe we could shareit. 1 half each?:)

Re: 150 Away Fans!?
 

i was at all the away matches apart from Lincoln,,,why? I was working friday...the game was scheduled Friday because Engerland are playing today ( huh ? ).. i couldnt get to Lincoln cos I finished too late....the reason for low crowds is, lets face it. most people aint interested enough to pay theire money and stand/ sit in the ground watching a real match. rather be associated with a "quality brand " like Utd or Liverpool..hey you I support these...never seen em but I watch every match on telly and wear a shirt.....class....but thats what happens.

world turned upside down:Banane13: :Banane13:

Re: 150 Away Fans!?
 

I went on the FE coach and it was embarassing as there was only 20 of us. I only managed to go because I finished early at work but it was annoying that the coach set off at 3pm and we arrived at 6.10pm, even allowing for a few Tom Tom detours, it took 2 hours 10 mins to get back so why set off so early? I know more would have travelled if it had set off later.

As Jase said 20 or so accy fans outsung 4900 Lincoln, i've still got a sore throat from making ourselves heard.

Re: 150 Away Fans!?
 

I drove and left at 3 and got there just before 6 (due to traffic), but i would not have wanted to leave it much later. IMO we would have took more on a sat, not matter what time the coach left. Also what do you mean tom tom detours, what is wrong with using a map and/or following your nose, it works for me and it has never let me down yet.

Re: 150 Away Fans!?
 

I've no doubt more would have gone if it had been on a Saturday, I'm not a fan of Friday night games.
The Tom Tom detours was my little joke as the coach driver seemed to get lost at one stage.
