New regime positive thread.
I,d like to list a few in my opinion positive moves by the new board;-
1-For the last few weeks men and machinery on site putting in extre drainage and generally cleaning up and getting rid of eyesore old cabins. This must run into thousands of pounds. 2- New gym at back of Coppice end again some cost and a big thanks to supporters club for donations towards some of the eguipment. 3-A !ong awaited pre-agreement with the council on a !ong term lease for the ground hopefully releasing matched grants for much needed stadium upgrades again a cost if you fully match the full grant. 4-Much needed experienced quality additions to the squad in January again probably quite a cost one which we wouldn't have been able to do before. 5-New ideas being introduced again at a cost not every body,s cup of tea but at least being tried without new ideas and input and hard work you stagnate. |

Who exactly is on the New Board?

Re: New regime positive thread.
Cheers fer that 1-4 are brilliant for the club, 5 new ideas are great also, but treat people like crap and yeh may do worse than stagnate in my view, a simple fact some seem unable to grasp.

Yes and you could have added
6. Debts cleared 7. £1.3m secured to develop the stadium. 8. The securing of key squad members on longer term contracts (Something the club has not had the luxury of for some years) 9. The introduction of new sponsorship |

If you feel so strongly about your views Cashman, Sure Dave Burgess would get the kettle on and have a chat with him?
Positives... Could the club have sustained 2 months with little/no money coming into the club? Lucky to have Andy Holt but I think it's important that we become self sufficient as soon as we can to not be relying on money being pumped in! Spoke to more than a handful of people and Andy Holt has proved himself he isn't scared of putting a shift in doing the drains himself which hopefully will rub off! Hopefully the club take over the burger vans when the current lease ends as I believe the club will make more money being run by the club than an outside caterer! |

You beat me to it Baldy. Was just writing about Holt not being afraid to get stuck in - fits very much with the ethos at the club. Commendable.

In light of the fact that Cashy knows 2 people who are definitely not renewing I pledge to get my season ticket in years. Anybody care to make up for the other one?

Sports bar open tomorrow with pints £2, between 12:30 and 2pm!
Great little initiative! |
Re: New regime positive thread.
Some people just love a whinge and a moan and if they had nothing to moan about, they'd moan about that. My concern is that 2 or 3 fans have complete distain for Mr B and are on a witch hunt to turn others against the club, if you love the club so much why would you do that. Remember there's 2 sides to every story, we've only heard 1 and somewhere in the middle you will find the truth.
Another positive move by the club is the decrease in ticket prices, which I'm pretty sure is the cheapest walk on prices in league football. This from a regime who doesn't care about the fans? I'm sure this goes someway to appeasing the fact that certain deals have been taken off the table. You can't please all the people all of the time. With the new regime the club is a lot better off in so many ways than it ever has been in my 12 and a half seasons. Now lets back the club completely on and off the pitch with unity. We all want the same thing. Long live the new regime!!!!! |

Re: New regime positive thread.
I believe Dave Burgess attended the Supporters Club meeting last night and was a "Productive and Positive meeting"
Anybody shed any light, ChrisR? |
Re: New regime positive thread.
Far from a smart remark, I actually asked anybody to shed some light, adding your name only for the reason I know you're the only person I know that goes to the meetings!
You do say though that the huts are in the most dangerous place possible, how and where would you deem a safer place? Did the Livingstone Road neighbours get consulted about the CCTV Control Room that was placed near the changing rooms a few seasons ago? I'm not sure what consultation would make a difference regarding the new stand, The residents have a right to object the plans submitted to the council...What if the club had a meeting with the residents and they objected then, Do the club just not build a new stand and leave it as it is? |
Re: New regime positive thread.
did go last night and the meeting was informative without any slagging off people. met mr.burgess for the first time who seems to be behind the club in every way and is looking for any new ideas to move the club on. seems a decent guy and not an arrogant person in any way. the problem is at any football club not everyone will be happy all the time for one reason or another. could support leeds or Bolton and then you have problems. we seem to be going the right way for once and after the changes things will quieten down I,m sure.

Re: New regime positive thread.
Chrisr . Who do you buy your programme and 50/50 from please ? I am not doubting your word , I sell them and if you do buy from me , then please will you make yourself known tomorrow.Thanks

Re: New regime positive thread.
I've said it before and i will say it again, the disabled concession at the moment is for the disabled person to pay full price (at the gate) and the carer comes in free. I am assuming Chrisr you do not bring a carer. Whilst I don't doubt in years passed you have had a concession season ticket, is it really worth it to stop supporting the team you love for £40? Seems to be a little like cutting your nose off to spite your face. I am now a pensioner and travel to games from afar. Less money and sometimes it is tight like this week with 3 games in 8 days, but I will be purchasing my season ticket within the next month (PS I should point out by pensioner I mean retired from work but still not entitled to the Old Age Pension as I am under 65, and I don't get a fortune from my works pension)
|
Re: New regime positive thread.
Someone still banging on about concession tickets, cashless entry only, and now questions the new stand doesn't increase capacity. Just unbeilevable, personal agenda? I think so.
Why does the club need to increase capcity on the new stand, one assumes there will be more development at some stage and they are looking to balance the stadium, then also what is the average away following in league 1? simliar to the new stand capacity? I believe so. why do we need a ground with a capcity larger than 5,000? Ok, lets be honest, we know of one supporter who isn't coming next season, so it appears the crowd attendance is going backwards, so maybe we should consider reducing capacity. Ha ha, commercial understanding by some is zero. Now then must go, I can smell the Humble Pie burning.......... |

I can smell you changing yer tack slightly, but never mind yer pig ignorance still comes out.

Re: New regime positive thread.
better facilities alone will bring more people through the gate , change is needed and a change we are getting . Why don't we just watch the improvements as they grow . I'm sure we will all be happy.

Re: New regime positive thread.
So we are still adopting the build it and they will come strategy. Great business plan especially if we don't get promotion.
Burnley and Blackburn have far better facilities and play at a higher level but still can't fill their grounds so why do people think it will work for us. Plenty of hot air but no answers. Plus is 5000 the required capacity for league one or is that more hope than anything? |
Re: New regime positive thread.
If this is the positive thread I'm just glad there isn't a negative one.
Most of the hot air seems to be being expelled on here, not by the club. From this distance Andy Holt seems to be delivering with actions. But some comments now read as if improving the ground's facilities is something to moan about. |

Interesting, keep it up, but instead of generalising, name, names? No didnt think so, as you dont have a clue. There isn't an issue at the club, it's just one or two so called supporters, who think they know best. It's very simple, you keep makiing comments against any employee at Acrringotn Stanley F.C.and I will keep posting in reply, that is until the day, the humble pie is delivered. tick tock, tick tock... |

Re: New regime positive thread.
To Chrisr, I apologise, it does state in the customer charter that disabled supporters pay the concession price providing they can provide evidence of DLA at medium or higher rate, which I assume you have done. However, as you like quoting the Customer Charter verbatim, I too will continue with this trend. I suggest you read the paragraph re Consultation and Information. I believe the club and the MD have fulfilled this by publicising the new season ticket prices well in advance of the new season. And as the charter is for season 2015/16, this would leave me to believe that there will be a new charter for season 2016/17 regardless of which league we are in, so i stand by my original statement, you are cutting your nose off to spite your face for the sake of £40. I may not be able to afford the early bird season ticket, but whatever happens, I WILL be renewing even if it means paying full price.
|
Re: New regime positive thread.
The Customer Charter is reviewed at the begining of every season to reflect the new season's policies. It is also submitted to the FL as part of their regulations.
The current Charter was was agreed by the previous Board and no doubt a number of other things will need adding and removing. |
Re: New regime positive thread.
Surely one of the biggest positives is the almost unbelievable figure of around 2,200 home fans turning up yesterday. From the guesses in Mab's thread, I would say no one saw that coming! Obviously, the fact that East Lancs' big two weren't playing had an affect, but we can only hope that a few hundred of them will come back next Saturday!
|
Re: New regime positive thread.
Agree Wyn, that and the two additions to the squad. It can only make the lads play for their spot, nothing like a bit of pressure to bring the best out in players.
|
Re: New regime positive thread.
Could be another big crowd on Saturday, Stanley Trust are doing a Grassroots promotion invited all junior football teams to come to the game for free and believe they have had high interest, Not including paying parents...!
Anyone else bringing a "Newbie" to the game?...Great time to be getting people hooked! Hopefully another big crowd! |
Re: New regime positive thread.
are people finally waking up to whats happening at the crown. hope so and not before time.
|
Re: New regime positive thread.
I also think the long term signings are also a positive sign of what is happening at our glorious little club. Thanks Andy Holt for putting your money where your mouth is.
|
Re: New regime positive thread.
On the pitch I'm delighted with the progress for Stanley. I predicted things were looking up this year. However I can take no credit for that! It's the players and management!
|
Re: New regime positive thread.
The Clayton End ticket booth will be open from 4:45pm until 5:30pm after the Cambridge game for anyone wanting to buy Morecambe, York and Stevenage tickets!
Good idea by the club, Will be better than queing 3 times again on each match day, Especially if the crowds do increase! |
Re: New regime positive thread.
That is a good idea, hope it pays off.:)
|
Re: New regime positive thread.
Good idea, just a thought as not sure where the booth is situated at that end, might it create any more of a bottle neck than usual with folk trying to get off the ground & up the Crown steps?
|
Re: New regime positive thread.
That is also a valid point, hope its been given some thought?
