Re: Crown
 

We need a place we can call our own. Most clubs have an Home fans only venue. Get Scarfs,shirts,players and fans pictures plastered all over the gaff. I have often walked in and out because it is packed with away fans and how many others dont bother because it was known as away fans similar to the fernhurst at ewood. They can have a host of other pubs that would welcome there money. More stanley fans will go in if this becomes the case. At least have a 6 game trial as home fans only.

Re: Crown
 

or stanley could get another lease for another pub and make it an away pub on match days .one closer to the motorway or train station;):)

Re: Crown
 

why not give accy fans a loyelty card that gives them 10% of a drink beetween 11:00am and 1:00pm this might get home fans in earlier and would not break the law on happy hours

Re: Crown
 

you could maybe call it an OSC membership card?

Re: Crown
 

could be used at other times to get people to use pub on a regular bassis on quiter days

Re: Crown
 

The Crown pub will be for Home fans, We have announced to the supporters club that the whittakers arms will be the place for away coaches and fans.

I dare say some away fans may come along to the crown and be well recieved, But we are planning that the crown will be a Home pub.

Re: Crown
 

Whats to stop the Crown filling up at 12-1pm with away fans making it impossible for home fans to use at 2pm onwards...as it always has done?

Thats the question :)

Re: Crown
 

Surely the object of running a pub is to get it as full as possible as early as possible thereby selling as much beer, etc as possible. As said earlier in this thread, away fans tend to turn up at the ground earlier than home fans so what is going to happen. Are they going to be refused entry and then directed to Whittakers on Burnley Road? What's the point of running a pub if you are purposely going to turn away custom and keep the place empty until about 2pm. I say get it packed as early as possible so making as much money as possible, after all it all goes to Stanley.

Re: Crown
 

I don't think you can! unless the pub employs security staff with a "your not coming in here in those colours mentality" there will be the porta bars behind each stand which may help to alleviate some of the problem? The only obvious thing that can be done is what has already been done to update the visiting fans section on the Fishy site the problem there is visiting fans will be made up mostly of ones who came last season who have already been to the Crown.:)

Re: Crown
 

The oaklea seem to have the right idea.. not had chance to go in there myself but looking forward to my first visit tonight :)

Re: Crown
 

We were going to be home fans only last season. But on our first home matchday, we had 20 Bury fans waiting to come in for some food. The first Stanley fans didn't turn up until 1:30pm. If we'd stuck to our guns & not let any away fans in, then we would have lost out on hundreds of pounds. It's the same every home match. Stanley fans either call into a few pubs on their way to the game, or, they come out later. Away fans tend to arrive a lot earlier.

Kipax, we still owe you a couple of pints for letting us use your photo's last season.

:D

Re: Crown
