Re: anti climax
 

rovers and dingles come to schools in clitheroe , why cant stanley come as well for say a 6 week footie course for say hour after school once a week then end of course give out memberships for juniours to get in for nowt (under 11s ) then children hopefully will pester dads to take um knowing they will only have to pay for parents and not kids .

Re: anti climax
 

which is worst? One hour talking and playing with the kids or handing a leaflet out as they pass by? Like DM said though, Rovers and Burnley go into Clitheroe schools so why shouldn't we? I don't think there would be anything wrong with it at all but I'll Eric decide, he may have a gentlemans agreement with the Chairman at Clitheroe due to his history with them.

As for Liverpool coming into our schools it was about 18 months ago I think. It came out whilst I was trying to organise the Open Day that Liverpool had been into Rhyddings (and some of their feeder schools) and had done it a couple of times.

Re: anti climax
 

only thing clitheroe fc have to do with schools is .............. well nothing . so let get stanley in to clitheroe schools , why not , bloody dingles do and the kids enjoy it but they dont do anything to encourage kids to go to dingle matches , they just give naff cert out after course has finished

Re: anti climax
 

I'd be very suprised if that was true. Several hundred free tickets are given out to schoolchildren for every home match, I beleive the same is true at Rovers.

Re: anti climax
 

my son has done all the school course and never once got free ticket . nuff said

Re: anti climax
 

Perhaps they don't think they will come from so far out then.

Re: anti climax
 

:) depechemodes right,certificets are handed out and may be a throph for the best player / players,un like stanley if you inpress you are asked to try out at the accadamie'and given tickets to the next home game,im all for giving it ago my lads are 8 n 11 and would atten'd acourse as would there mates,my self and my lads are trying our best to put ACCRINGTON STANLEY name about with some successe.. ps sorry if i've miss spelt anything:)

Re: anti climax
 

I made some enquiries last night. The free match tickets with a course are advertised before hand if it applies to a particular course, but usually only applies to the ones held in Burnley.

The academy trial is standard practice for any club. However the bigger the scouting network the more likely the child has already been spotted if they play football for a boys team. Obviously thats a problem for Stanley because they haven't the resources for a scouting network and have to rely more on the community team spotting talent in schools. A scouting network isn't going to happen overnight.

As for free tickets in general for Clitheroe schools, there was a coach full from Ribblesdale school the week before last week for the Turf and this comng Saturday free tickets have been given to Pendle primary schools. The tickets are for the kids and helpers be they parents or staff. There is no free admission at Burnley for children like there is at Stanley but the free admission isn't a benefit if the adults aren't prepared to pay to get in and there is nobody to take the children.
