U12's admittance
 

Seems that the admittance entrance fee for U12's have changed again :confused: as cant see the family ticket deal they did either:confused: . On Kens poster it says about stanley juniors to which non are a member & upon checking site it looks like an U12's footy team setup. Seems once again things change & no information, as i thought stanley were encouraging youth support.

Whats the deal for saturdays match i've got 2/3 U12's possibly going :confused: & this could make the difference if i can afford to go now:(

Re: U12's admittance
 

u12s get in free dont they??? you just have to register them at club shop

Re: U12's admittance
 

Well i thought they do but the fishy site as always make it complicated lol, but on ticket admittance prices it says u have to be a member of Stanley juniors for free otherwise the admittance is as consessions :confused: mind u might be an idea to spell it out proper on there tho....cos im confused:confused:

Re: U12's admittance
 

yeh you become a member of the stanley juniors by going into club shop and filling in a quick form then they give you the u12 tickets

Re: U12's admittance
 

There & then John before the match or will i have to do that before then - just so i know lol:D

Re: U12's admittance
 

dont know about that...ring the club :)

Re: U12's admittance
 

Cheers John :D

Re: U12's admittance
 

I thought it was free for all kids too. Oh well there goes 2 guest supporters :)

Re: U12's admittance
 

Personally after a breakthro this season with the youth support issue - once fixed why break it springs to mind, wonder why they changed it without informing that it had changed before u have to find out the hard way as per usual:rolleyes:

Re: U12's admittance
 

Oh dear has a bearing on floating fans as well :eek:

Re: U12's admittance
 

it is still free you just have to go in clubhouse and fill in a form with name etc on then you can get your membership card for next time

Re: U12's admittance
 

Was trying to see if i could do it online but i think thats what makng this issue confusing because of the description of the stanley juniors

http://www.accringtonstanley.co.uk/i.../stats/juniors

Nothing about just youth affiliation support:confused:

Re: U12's admittance
 

Ironically aside from the cost of petrol it will be £5 cheaper for us to go and sit in St Andrews this weekend as it would for us to go to FES. Oh well there's housework to be done :D

Re: U12's admittance
 

I dont see what the change has gained other than more admin & loss of potential floatees, just typical of stanley to 'complicate' things:rolleyes:

Re: U12's admittance
 

The idea is to get names on a database. It's called targetted marketing. :)

Re: U12's admittance
 

Ah so means ad mails:( targeted at kids

Re: U12's admittance
 

I went up 2 weeks ago for some badges and to register my son so he could go to his first match. Surprise surprise no badges and no forms available to fill in, we still went and a very kind person let him in for free, didn't she Harwood Red !!!

Re: U12's admittance
 

Thanks for the usual 'dont say owt against the club' negative message - gee dont change a habit of a lifetime will ya, in fact complaints on service improvement can only improve the service for STANLEY fans now and future!!!!! - blumming pathetic & get a life!

FYI i go regular the kids dont always & was mearely pointing out that it had changed without warning since they went before xmas !!! Seems like the potential attendance has gone down by 2 ...& how much more i wonder from the floaters nevermind the stanley orianted:rolleyes:

Re: U12's admittance
 

Would that be a karma message you got ?

Re: U12's admittance
 

Yeh that would be from a pillock who wouldnt have the guts to sign it but from the 'dont critise the club or we will critise u being critical by arse wipe comittee'!!!!

With attitudes like that whats the point ...... i'll listen to Dan & Kaz instead!!

Re: U12's admittance
 

Well if it's any consolation I can offer you a free seat to watch the Beast in the flesh on 23rd April. Will even put a roof over your head. What's more I can even offer a free child place :D

Re: U12's admittance
 

Mmm theres a nice offer :D baggsy behind his goals then:o blimey i get better treatment by claret than my own red atm nice to be wanted shame i cant offer the same at stanley this sat tho LOL

Re: U12's admittance
 

What exactly has changed??? You go to the club shop, fill in a form, then the kids get in free. How is that complicated?

Re: U12's admittance
 

Get a clue... when the kids last went before the free one

a] u didnt have to fill a form
b] just go in for ticket admittance then go

- - now i have to fill a form in now sorry that IS NEWS TO ME!!!! Do i have to bring birth certs in to prove ..

a] they are mine
b] they are under 12


So whats the score is all i mearely asked - god help newbies to stanley board if this is the attitude for asking that!!

Re: U12's admittance
 

no just name address etc i think then hand it back to them asap nothing sinister or anything just think its so we get away fans paying for their kids tbh ;)

Re: U12's admittance
 

Thanks John for the info oh so thats why hehehehe:D

Re: U12's admittance
 

You need to calm down.

I don't bring children to the game but I am well aware of the 'new' process. I don't live in Accrington, so all my information comes mainly from this messageboard.

Many of your comments on this thread are massive over reactions to something that has been in operation for a good while now. You were told the process earlier on in the thread, but you still continued to moan and groan.

Fill in the form and your kids will get in for nothing! Even I can understand that.

Re: U12's admittance
 

Thanks TM but John sorted & answered my question without need for snidey remarks:rolleyes:

Re: U12's admittance
 

At last got ya!!! But you never said hi though did you...???? But yes can confirm the above :)

Oh well at least you know I'm friendly even when I don't know who you are :D

Re: U12's admittance
 

HEE HEE, I could have told ya Mel :D and saved you the rise in blood pressure, lol :rolleyes:

Re: U12's admittance
 

To all those who have kids and are now confused!!!!!

nothing has changed!!!

register your kid by filling out the little form in the club shop, they will then be issued with a card and a free ticket, show the card to the ticket office for your free ticket every game. This is as it has been since the club started the free under 12's initiative. Teething troubles aside!

I think where Mel is confused (outside of normal boundaries!!!!:p ) it that stanley juniors are the kids footy teams that represent the club in the kids leagues, and junior reds is the under 12's thing.

Of course i could get to the club on saturday to work my turnstile and find that everything has changed but to do so wouldn't make any sense after its worked so well so far. Then again this is accy stanley and the possibilities are endless!!!!!:D

Re: U12's admittance
 

Im lost :o

So what do you do then? :p haha

Re: U12's admittance
 

Why is everyone making out im either thick, over reacting or ready for a corronary:confused: Im only confused because nothing has been said not on website it wasnt till i saw Kens poster that got me to this question. There is no info of the Junior Reds memberships on the fishy site which should be the source of info, nor have i seen it on this forum [please point that out to me in case i did miss it whilst away, i shall opologise]. The last time i brought the kids [under 12's are a fickle bunch when footy & doing their own things come into it] was before xmas which was U 12's free u had to get a ticket stub from the club store - NO filling forms so now u can see the confusion i was under till John put me straight.

What was most annoying was the attitude that i was moaning or having a go at the club brigade whom didnt have the nerve to say something here but to leave a snotty message, really after asking a genuine question!!! I was mearely shocked that alterations to the U12's had taken place without knowing - thats all!! Also was hoping to bring a friend but cant because would cost more cos wouldnt qualify for a child U12 because of having to be a member - which for floating supporting fans not away ones, can make the difference them coming or not ----- thought we needed aas much attendance as we could:rolleyes: maybe something that needs a rethink for floating fans then!

Good suggestion put the junior reds details on the fishy site on its own page as to whether u can register online in store or what, so avoids un neccessary confusion - not just to me but everyone!!

Re: U12's admittance
 

For gods sake woman. Just take your kids in for free and thank the club for the kind offer.

Re: U12's admittance
 

I think you have missed the point accymel is trying to make. People keep saying the same scheme has not changed yet she knows from personal experince that she has not filled in a form to obtain free tickets. All she is trying to point out that she was not aware that things had changed.

Thank the club for the kind offer ? What sort of statement is that. You need all the fans you can get, I suggest they thank them for attending :rolleyes:

Re: U12's admittance
 

It is just this sort of attitude that puts people off coming to the FES......Accymel asked a reasonable question and gets a barrage of unreasonable responses :mad:

And as for thanking the club for the 'kind offer', Im afraid I agree with the last poster!

Re: U12's admittance
 

The club should thank people for getting in for free? God help us with fans like you lot :(

Re: U12's admittance
 

Poppy are you a full time muppet or a part time one?!

:D :p :D

Re: U12's admittance
 

To be fair, she also made a series of unfounded accusations too, which was my main issue with this thread. For example, accusing the club of harvesting names and addresses so as to target mail children. I know this train of thought was encouraged by another poster (LancsDave), but it just goes to show how ridiculous this thread had become.

Yes there should be a page on the website that clearly explains the process, but there isn't. The process was explained by John Timmins and that should have been the end of it. It's not complicated is it?

Re: U12's admittance
 

Your chairman seems to think it's okay, he allowed 4,000 + on the other week. :)

Re: U12's admittance
 

Not sure I was encouraging it more suggesting why they should fill in a form. Nor do I see anything wrong with it, the club can quite easily use the details to write to the children themselves or the parents of the children regarding anything Stanley. Does it ask for date of birth on the form, if so a card from the club would probably make the child feel special and in that respect it's doing it's job.

To me it's what football clubs should be doing if they are doing there job correctly, especially at levels under the premier league where publicity isn't quite the same and being pro-active takes on a far more important role.

Re: U12's admittance
 

To end this thread with attitudes of Poppy - you are a disgrace to the club you are supposed to represent, i sooo hope Rob sees that, TM you havent helped but jump on the bandwagon, if no such information is available then specualtion will amount, the karma taker - not helpful either u couldnt face me or even sign it!

Thank you to the genuine kindness of other supporters whom are the ones that get people to come & made everyone welcome. Thanks Pete you know where im coming from - appreciate trying to explain that to the critics.

I have made desicion i shall not be attending tommorows match on principle [yes i do have & stick to them] as poppy has made it clear i should be licking her feet for the pleasure as the club is doing me a favour, also to make a serious point about some stanley attitudes within this forum, especially representatives/employees from the club. Seems the club & some fans are going to have to 'get real' in the battle of supporters - even their own!!!!

Sorry to anyone for my abruptness when hacked off i tend to be, but my point is the same. Like anything in life, money is an issue even with fans:D

I'll look forward to Dan & Kaz's commentry instead.

Re: U12's admittance
 

There won't be any commentary though.Get yourself along, every club has it's righteous supporters so don't let them put you off.

Re: U12's admittance
 

:( :( :( oh no, I want my side kick there!!!!!!!!!!! :o

I can understand your confusion as it hasn't seem very clear cut and even if it has remained more or less the same it hasn't been publicised enough!

Re: U12's admittance
 

Fists not enough? you started kicking now :rolleyes:
I'm gonna put some shin pads on as well as a gum shield tomorrow :D

Re: U12's admittance
 

:p negative threads no no please not before a game tomorrow we will be united in wanting a stanley win

cmon you reds:Banane48: :Banane48: :Banane48: theres only one accy stanley walkin in a stanley wonderland

Re: U12's admittance
 

And god help us with employees like you, it's a contest between you and Russell Whalley as to who has the biggest attitude, my votes for you.:mad:
