anti climax
 
think problem with crowd size is that we have reached the holy grail or the promised land and the people that use to make the numbers up in odd games now see us as going no further . eg .. no prom just mid table at best . just my views . think people miss non league for this reason .

Re: anti climax
 
Funny enough this conversation of returning to non league seems to be doing the rounds atm, already discussed on here somewhere & quite a few in clubhouse were suggesting the idea & also on stanleymad too, so will repeat myself, not hehehe, erm no i dont think we should go back to non league [not by choice any road], whats up with some fans - have u no balls for the big pond or what?!?

We are never gonna be big bucks as terms of crowds with the radius we're in & seems to be historically repeating itself that way - but as terms of the team - yes they are good enough & have the ampititude to stay in league 2 quite comfortably - just wish there was a bit more self beleif!! Tho hard when some fans doubt the manager & the teams ability to do so especially morale wise, which this talk doesn't help.

We're 15th in the league - keep the faith!:D

I think this might be the only way to get him not to post!
Surely he hasn't got anything positive to say about Stanley!

dont think thats reason for crowd size,been well documented that 6 yrs of accy having no team is probably the main reason, cos generations of possible fans were lost through that, Stanley are in the league on MERIT, despite all this, think most who still go accept that fact n are damn glad they are in wi the big boys, as i'm sure you are. accept that n move on. increasing fan base is another argument. thats my 2 pennorth.

mybe we could start selling match tickets at discount prices at high schools and also sell match tickets in town centre also . what about lottery tickets being spread out in surround small towns like clitheroe ect . people in clitheroe dont mind stanley at all , a few go near me , one reason pointed out was it was a easy run in car to ground . no town centre route ect ..

Re: anti climax
 
I agree that Clitheroe is a 'gettable' town. Places like Harwood and Rishton feel affiliated to Blackburn and Rossendale, Padiham etc are Burnley. The Ribble Valley is fair game and should be attacked with vigour. There are a good few of you down that neck, why not get together and put your thinking caps on? Come summer time and I'll roll out the OSC tent if there are any fetes on anywhere, and the Football In The Community (FITC) would gladly join in.

A lad I know comes to quite a lot of Stanley games from Clitheroe and sometimes brings others with him because "its the closest decent club". We should capatalise on this IMHO.

Re: anti climax
 
As Macca said the OSC & Football in the Community Sceme can help, but it needs a more direct & positive approach from the Club & not just in Clitheroe:confused:

I don't mind running another recruitment drive in Clitheroe this time. Next home game start at 9am? Fraser the Eagle, leaflets etc

Never worked in Accy but we tried

Re: anti climax

I don't think Clitheroe F.C. would be happy with that, after all, we wouldn't like it if Rovers or Burnley ran a recruitment drive in Accy on a Saturday morning.
