Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

The club should get around 500 cheap copies made. Arrange a day of canvassing by the fans in and around town on the weekends leading up to April 4th. All the club have to do is ask the fans via fishy site and manpower will be available to them.

We can't leave it to spots on radio and a couple of posters dotted around. If 500 aren't sold it'll be a major disaster.

I'll e-mail the commercial peeps, you never know summet might get shiftin'!

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

that figure will need to be more than 700 just to match last season financial figure

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

Never was any good at numbers.

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

picked up a few flyers from the club shop yesterday (they did have quite a few should anybody want to pick a few up),

they will be proudly displayed around the Pendle & Burnley areas:)

One thing that the club may want to consider, should the Clarets make it to the Premiership, is the Clarets have in place the Premiership pledge which means basically STH who bought their tickets before a certain date will be able to watch the games for free at Turf next season:eek:

their maybe a chance to plug us as their second team?

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

That's a good point. Maybe the club should have an adaption of the present leaflet printed up with an "Have Stanley as your second team...at just over £6 a match, you won't find better value anywhere" theme for distribution in the Burnley and Blackburn areas.

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

Just thought I'd bump this up, anyone know how it's going?

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

all i can tell ya oggy is paid fer mine about a week ago n lee said they will be issued early this next season.:) which i was happy with.:)

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

Last I heard it was upto 100 ( Gills match) since then not heard owt. E-mailed Lee but got nowt back, I asked for us to be kept informed either on here or on the Official site but ???? Will have to ask around at the match tomorrow...

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

Got mine Oggy. Only trouble is you have to sit down if you want to go under the shed.

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

Any chance of an update whilst you are online, Southern???

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

:) Advert on the radio today on THE BEE!! weldone team hope it has a big impacked on the sale of season tickets:)

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

??

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

i asked last week and the official response was... going well.. couldnt get a figure or an estimate..

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

Cheers K-P :) I will ask Lee again before the Quakers match, see if I can get any more info.....


:D:D

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

well at least thats better than going crap.:)

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

well i reckon the season ticket i have bought fer next term is a damn good investment.:)

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

Dropped off four applictions tonight:)

I would implore anyone who is wavering to take up the offer, but I would say that!;)

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

i wouldn't but i am.:D;)

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

I would have thought so :thumbsup: Makes my 150 miles/2.5Hrs look like a walk in the park :)

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

:)Asked Lee on Tuesday ,just over the 200 mark.not including anyone buying one on tuesday night :)

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

That's a bit worrying. Would have thought we'd have sold more than that by now. Time for a concerted publicity push throughout East Lancs?

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

I've seen posters in shop windows all over town, don't know about the rest of East Lancs though :), not sure what else they can do apart from leaflet drops.

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

Not a lot really,:( Lets just hope that Jimmy's 3 in a row will help change the mind of those who were wavering :D:D:D

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

Dan, commercial manager & HR {osc** will be doing a leaflet/enrol campaign at the asda this saturday to try & drum up support with extra season tickets. So they are attempting to go at it publically.

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

That is a great move by the club :) They are also sending letters out to people as well - existing ST holders I pressume - so they are trying to do their best, and 3 in a row means the Team are trying their best as well :D:D:D

Need to push way past the 200 figure though!!! :(

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

Kenny, Turner and Procter in ASDA before they travel to game tomorrow morning signing autographs! Good move by the club to do the ASDA giving out leaflets!

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

:)got oursthrough the post this morning .....payed for season ticket for next season 2 t 3 wk ago:)

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

oh thats good hopefully mine will be coming soon then.

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

Think he means the letter promoting the offer, not the actual ticket, Mr C. You won't get that for a lo-o-o-ng time yet! :D

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

I think he meant the letter and application form to buy the ticket, I got one this week too

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

thought it sounded to good to be true. but no matter twill be a good season i feel.:)

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

If the first match is at home then the time for collection will be about 2.30pm on Saturday 8th August :D

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

:o sorry cashy should have said letter through the post:)

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

I was thinking they have got them season tickets printed early! Are they trying to give people heart attacks! With everything thats been going on these past couple of weeks!

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

glad its not just me thats dumb.:D;)

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

It's very worrying that they've only sold about 200 season tickets at the new low price. That's bound to have a serious knock-on effect.

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

Let's hope that Harwood Red can use her persuasive powers to maximum effect at Asda today! I reckon with all that's going on at the moment, they should extend the offer to the end of the season and really make a massive effort to push the deal throughout the area.

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

Hopefully between Harwood Red, Accymad, Dan, Toni, Kenny, Proccy and 'That Boy Chris Turner', Accrington will have no choice but to succumb to the might of the Stanley bargain :)

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

I think Kenny, Proccy and 'That Boy Chris Turner' will not be thier now! But let's hope the rest of them can get some more people to sign up to the season ticket offer

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

Really? Part-timers... :D

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

apparently they have sold a few season tickets there today. One would be a success, any more is good stuff.

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

Seeing as there wasn't anyone from the club there apart from Toni I think they've done well. Fan power :)

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

That's just mucked my plan up, I've just found that you can't buy a season ticket online like I did in past years, looks like I will have to make a special trip, the online option should be available for lazy sods like me or people who don't live near the ground.

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

Nope just Toni i saw as accymad & myself, HR had left as i arrived, but lets say girl power seemed to get the message out there lol:D

Neil left his scarf, Toni has taken it to the club, should he wonder where it is.

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

think it was def a success. a few season tickets sold, one fella actually handed over his cash!!!

bagpuss, you can get the form and post it back to the club with your payment if you are feeling that lazy :rolleyes:

have to say the funniest moment was me accosting a fella who turned out to be from Hereford and he sarcastically said how well they were doing this season and Accymad said under her breath, yeah we'll see you next year.... he must have damn good hearing cos he turned round and said yeah you're prob right ha ha ha, I was nearly rolling in the aisles :D

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

Silly me I thought the 4th was Friday not Saturday so I can do the deed before the Lincoln match.:)

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

how many did we have this time last year????????? and are we doing well with this year ?????

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

can i ask please,how many where sold this season? seems like we had same thought grimps.

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

This season there was around 400 sold.... we aim to excel that amount by a good few hundred :) If im being honest aswell i dont know how many we had sold by this time last year, but if you look at it in the sense that we already have 315 now and the early bird offer isnt up. Theres only 85 more to go before we exceed the 400 mark.
Fingers crossed guys that all the Google Page Ranking work im arranging will pay off...

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

Thing is, though, we'll have to sell a lot more than the 400, to even make the same amount of revenue from them as last year. I know I keep banging on about it, but I really think the discount offer deadline date should be pushed back, even to the end of the season, to capitalise on the new mood of optimism. Also, think we should be looking beyond the boundaries of Accrington to sign up potential season ticket holders! :)

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

hope accy extend the deadline to get in as many as poss to boost gates. I live in Manchester (used to live near accy) and my 2 lads are just getting into football, so for me it's great value with the under 12's scheme. What I will do is make sure we spend money in the ground on refresments & the shop. It only takes me 35 mins to get to the ground with the M60 etc and I am always trying to get others to come to matches. I have a mate originally from accy who travels from Liverpool to games- so anyone around accy who may be a floating fan should come along or even try and come up with £140- you only need to get to half the matches to make it pay.

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

this made sound a bit obvious, but as we are at home on Saturday which is deadline day for the Season Tickets and there is potentially 400-500 walk ons there in the flesh...

maybe a final concerted push on flyers around the gates where people are paying to come in would pay divedends, If advertised prior to the game?:)

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

And we are handing out player of the year voting slips before the match on saturday so an extra flier at the same time wouldn't do any harm.. don't forget you offered to help us with that too Toni,:D so grab some early bird leaflets, hopefully with the news of an extension and they can be handed out together along with the "fans memories" CD

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

Good idea Pendle Red :) For me, it would be free/reduced entry against The Imps for anybody who "Signs up on the day" :eek: Just another incentive, yes I know that 315 have already signed up - me being one of them - and did not get free/reduced entry :confused: But it would not bother me if the club did that and signed up 200 more, lost revenue maybe but lets face it as so many have pointed out, at £140.00 we must be looking at 1000ish to break even and realistically 1500+ for it to be deemed a real success :) Just my thoughts....

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

think you would have to ask the turnstile staff that question :rolleyes:

But if all else fails we can do it, and I rarely miss anyone :D

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

500 hundred plus

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

thats summat, think it would have been more productive to extend the price as well.:confused: think the P.R. this time has contributed to the extra 100 so far,well done those who worked at it.

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

its only the voucher offer though isn't it? the price for the season ticket HAS gone up but you will still get the vouchers.

rightly so as well if you ask me, if you dont get in in time then tough! Marketing was a lot better this time so well done to all concerned - including the OSC. But as a note for next time, it has to be done as early as possible in as many places as possible. So next year we need to do the same again but bigger! First weekend we hit every supermarket in the borough with an OSC volunteer, AN Other volunteer and a club representative at every possible venue - it can do no harm. Altogether though I am impressed for the first time that the club has seen that it needs to be proactive with these kind of things and has done something about it. Round of applause to the top table please.

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

I sincerely hope that the club have made the right decision by choosing not to extend the offer. Because, if we don't sell many more than 500, then the whole thing has been a flop. My maths aren't too good, but I seem to recall someone saying on here that we would need to sell 700 even to match last year's income. Personally, I can't see us selling another 200, now the prices have gone up, vouchers or no vouchers. Really, hope I'm wrong, though...

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

I think a further week's extension (with a definate date of easter monday as last chance) on the price could've seen a rush with an extention on the vouchers only till end of season

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

Well Im a happy chappie :) I have just been informed by my beloved wife ,that She has
bought Me my first ever Stanley season ticket.......so unless I break my other leg I wont miss a home game next season..........Whoop whoop Im sooo pleased!! :)

Sorry if I sound like a 5yr old on christmas morning!!

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

Don't get too excited Pete, unless you are seated in the stand you usually are stood by me and you know what happens when we score a goal :D so I think you need to watch that other leg!!!!!!!

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

LOL, no seating for me, strictly terracing (whilst it lasts!), I'll just have to make sure that Stanley Mad is inbetween us I guess..............:D:p:D

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

well don't stand next to me pete, i've been on the end of it before and they hadn't even kicked off never mind scored :D

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

KSH didn't you spend the whole last match sat down anyways.. where you getting the feel of sititing in the clayton end ? :)

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

For goodness sake that was a couple of years ago and a complete accident are you never gonna let me forget??? :(:rolleyes:

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

Errr, had a few LOL, didn't sit down all the match though :D

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

I wonder if the betting scandal will affect the sale of season tickets ?

Posted via Mobile Device. Congrats pete on yr early xmas, but as the deadline was too quick im not gonna be the elite next season :-(

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

Was yesterday the last day of the extension of the vouchers (I think it was) Does anybody know how many we have sold up to present, I saw somewhere a figure of 615???? :)

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

some one told me 500 had be sold that was last week . so what 115 between m8

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

Not sure Grimps, but have seen or heard somewhere about 615 :confused: :)

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

I don't suppose we'll ever get the real figure. As always, it'll be on a need-to-know basis.

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

well if its owt like the attendance figures.:D;)

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

Oi, you trying to muscle in on my territory?;)

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

do we hav a number of sold season tickets sold yet ????????????????

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

:) Proberly not as close season is almost upon us there will be more sales over the next 3 months

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

went into club yesterday, was told 525 sold....... not nearly enough, considering low cost..... should be a lot more

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

Do you think so? I'd have thought that anyone thinking of buying a season ticket would have done so when they were cheap. If, as it seems highly likely, we lose a lot of our current squad at the end of this season, then who's going to buy a season ticket then? I'd be lucky to get £25 on Ebay for mine! :D

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

I'll give you £30 and a Skelmersdale United programme for it?:p

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

Ask me again in December and I'll probably take it. :D

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

The saga of the Cow Shed continues, I went into the Club shop yesterday to try and clarify, wether season tickets are available for the Cow shed, as there has been a few different opinions expressed. Some people think they have bought one, others think they cannot. I was told again by Lee, season tickets are NOT available, as this area is designated for the match day club. which is a change from the last time I enquired,as I was told it was for away support.Maybethey will make their minds up sometime soon. Meanwhile we have to take it that the regular Cow Shedders will have to move elswhere

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

At this rate there will not be any room left if the Clayton End, with the seats already taking up some of the standing area.

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

Wonder why they are moving the Matchday Club??? Thought they where in the best area, players running past them and all that? Does not make sense really.

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

I wondered about this last night. What is the official 'standing' capacity for the Clayton End? How many season tickets sold are to come off this figure and how many does that leave room for?

I still won't make many matches next season but I'd make even less if I couldn't stand with the noise.

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

... and I'd certainly be reluctant to make sure I was 20 minutes early to get a place!! :thepint:

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

We may one day find out some of the answers to those questions :rolleyes: :)

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

That's if there's any standing in the Clayton End at all. I'm saying nothing.

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

IF there is no standing in the clayton end you know the stuff will hit the fan

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

Mr David O'neill ideas were certainly not set in stone when i talked to him last.

Therefore if there are enough cow shedders who feel strongly about watching the game from there next season, then go see him.....

He will listen trust me

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

"Me and a few other old codgers would like to stand in the cowshed, David, Is that OK?"

"Certainly, Oggy, we'll put those seats behind the others on the Clayton end", replies David.

"Thanks, David, that's great, what time's kick off these days?"

"What time can you make it, Oggy."

(I can even hear Louis Armstrong playing in the background)

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

I'm one of the old codgers Oggy that would like to stand under the scratting shed as well

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

Well, maybe we've got a chance, can't believe we didn't think of it sooner. :rolleyes:

A merry christmas to one and all, and bless you Willie Miller, for thinking of us.

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

Mr O'Neill could you please remove the seats in the centre of the Clayton End and put them at the back where nobody stands, cheers.:rolleyes:

Re: Season tickets 09/10
 

Nobody's realistically going to stop people standing where the seats are.
