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.

Re: 150 Away Fans!?
 

: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:

Re: 150 Away Fans!?
 

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.

so go on everybody..all those who couldnt afford to go on friday night are all liars cause its just all your imagination cause diesel says its all tripe whens he going to get in the real world:confused: people have to budget and will only go to certain games their budget will allow or are you offering to pay for them:cool: and thanks for the negative karma:) :D

well cmonstanley, you`ve made a great point here as i for one fall into the tight budget category therefore away games unless really local......are a no no for me.....economics all the way, does`nt make me less of an fan though!!!:mad: :)

Re: 150 Away Fans!?
 

150 fans is quite some achievement for a Friday night match at Lincoln, don't knock it. Accy are still only a small new club at this level. Three isn't the large core of hardened supporters to go to games like this. A few more will attend home games but can't see this increasing yet.

I imagine the novelty value drew the 800 to Chester.

Re: 150 Away Fans!?
 

If had been played on a Saturday i would have gone, i dare say some people didn`t go because they couldn`t afford it, then there were those that didn`t go because they couldn`t get out of work early enough, and then there would have been those that didn`t go because it was a Friday night, and would have been going round the pubs etc, I`m not a big fan of Friday night games but i will go if we are at home because i can get there in time, but theres no chance if we are away.

Re: 150 Away Fans!?
 

:) at least a couple of people have got the jist and not everybody can afford it. and thanks for the usual abuse in my karmas it makes me laugh when you have to give abuse cause you dont agree:D :D :D and thanks to all who gave me positive karma:)
