Well done / Please
 

Well done tonight. Everyone did the might Stanley proud. The atmosphere was fantastic from outside the ground, through the game and after the match! Here's hoping the draw tomorow gives Stanley an away tie at Leeds, Sheff W or Scunthorpe! :jimbo: We'll be there if it's not to far! :do-one:


UP THE STANLEY!

Re: Well done / Please
 

Oh no, not Leeds again pleeeeeeeeeeeeeaase! Anyone but them :(

Re: Well done / Please
 

Hull away'd do me - bring in a bit of dosh and a new ground to visit.

Re: Well done / Please
 

What about home/away against Everton, or are they in Europe?

Re: Well done / Please
 

The Toffees aren't in Europe thi season

Re: Well done / Please
 

We can't get Leeds. Sheff Wed, or Scunny. Draw tonight on Sky Sports News after remaining ties have been played.

Hull away then please, not a bad ground and easy to get away at full time :)

Re: Well done / Please
 

Leeds away for me

Re: Well done / Please
 

Not possible! See Jeff's post (#6 above).

I'm suprised Hull have cropped up as a possible money spinner. Last season they had 7,900 on for the 2nd round game, and more than likely that was reduced price too. Both local clubs usually only get around the 5-6k mark for this round too, and agian with reduced prices.

In some ways you would be better off with a home match and trying to fill the ground, at least that way there is the possibility of making money on the corporate and retail side, plus a better chance of being the live match.

If I was a Stanley fan looking for an away tie I reckon Newcastle would probably be one of the top money spinners.

Re: Well done / Please
 

Please, please, please, Everton home or away.
We will go out, but it would be immense, and everton would easily fill 28,000 plus more likely 33,000 if they priced it properly.
It would never sell out as 4,000 seats at goodison are restricted view and you cant see the goals.

Re: Well done / Please
 

i wouldnt mind bradford away!

Re: Well done / Please
 

Surely this boils down to the dilema that we have, which is this:

a) It would be nice to progress as far as possible in the League trophy

as against:

b) It would be nice to get as many coffers in the pot as possible.

Of course, these are not neccessarily incompatible. It would be nice to go all the way, but lets be realistic -and no, I am not a surrender merchant.My understanding is that gate money is splt 45/45/10% after operational expenses are taken out. Therefore we have to look at what is our optimum path. As such it would be best to get a nice home game against one of the less favoured teams, followed by an away game against one of the big boys not yet in the competition due to european comitments.

Old Trafford, Anfield or Stamford Bridge would be excellent.

Re: Well done / Please
 

Not possible. see above :D

Re: Well done / Please
 

Everton would be a plum tie and I am sure would raise the pulses in and around the Red side of the squad let alone the fans:alright:

Although as others have said it is a chicken & egg situation an extended cup run or perhaps a one off cup tie with the media hype and everything else it would generate?

I am sure whoever we get as always against the so called "bigger boys" we will give a great account of ourselves on & off the pitch and if it means Coley gets some money out of it to wheel & deal with as has been quoted even better!

On Stanley On

Re: Well done / Please
 

haha my bad! is it seeded teams go against unseeded?

Re: Well done / Please
 

I would like to go as far as we can in the comp, as easily as we can, then get a huge away tie for the cash!!!!

Re: Well done / Please
 

Thats the one :)

Re: Well done / Please
 

Fulham home for me

Re: Well done / Please
 

never! nowt worse than losing to a crap team in the middle of nowhere (on a tuesday) and then the other side getting a plum draw!

give me the big game every time please :alright:

Everton or Newcastle away on the telly, then let the Stanley fans show the rest of the country just how supporting should be done

Re: Well done / Please
 

Agree with Macca; lets have the "feel good factor" and money NOW!!!

Doubt we'll be on TV away, but would we want the "hassle" of a home "big" game?? Honesty don't know!!

Very personally we want a northern away tie; Everton or Newcastle please:) Lets give Schultz an easy night ( borrow their kit) and Coley and the boys chance to play in a massive full stadium!!

Re: Well done / Please
 

A big home game is the only realistic chance of the telly money.

A massive full statdium in the 2nd round of the Carling Cup. Only chance of that is if it's free admission :D

Re: Well done / Please
 

I'd settle to go to Newcastle in front of 50,000 freebies!!

Imagine the sponsorship + marketing opportunities!!!

I'd bet the Ultra's would outsing them, no problems!!

Re: Well done / Please
 

To put that in perspective £1 each admission would generate the same revenue as a full Crown Ground at a tenner each. Unreal :eek:

Re: Well done / Please
 

yeh will save money, cos they won't use our showers.:D:D:D

Re: Well done / Please
 

Bring on the Geordies! :)

Re: Well done / Please
 

As always damn useless!!!:(

Right team, wrong venue!!!:)

Told you those shorts were lucky!!!

Re: Well done / Please
 

Oh I don't know, OK we are going to get the full house of 4,500 BUT the marketing potential will be fantastic. Personally, had we gone to St James Park, I doubt very much whether 35,000 would have gone through the gate and I doubt very much whether the away support would have been much more than 500. Playing the game at Accy means we have the potential to be on Sky sports and no doubt the commercial side are investing heavily as I type this reply. Win or lose the football match, I don't see how the club can lose monetary wise.:alright:

The only problem being the headache of organising such a match with a big club with a big following. No doubt Lancashire constabulary will have plenty to advise the club on.
