Now that is a good idea!

Re: The club needs fans....
 

Taken out of context you're right it is a baffling and illogical statement.

Put back into the context (of a specific idea I mooted to AH) then its nothing of the sort and was entirely the right answer from him.

There's nothing to stop ideas being tried out, my only concern is the up, down, up, down pricing of the last few years. I suspect that sooner or later we will settle on a pricing structure that suits all.

To avoid scrolling back, the "system" being the computerised ticket purchasing arrangements clever enough to let you move from your season ticket seat to be with your mates who you've persuaded to come along....

ChrisR, One club's affordable levels might not be Stanley's :D, but please can you put real figures on this, for installation, customisation and then operation, so we know what ballpark we might be playing in?

Re: The club needs fans....
 

With Christmas approaching & winter setting in, we are about to enter the bleakest part of the season.
My real concern is that with Stanley's home form dipping, so will the gates.
I can't see Stevenage & Yeovil bringing many fans for the next two home games, so it will be interesting to see if we can maintain even current levels of attendance.
If they continue to fall, I think the club may have to reconsider some of the ideas put forward on this thread.
Especially the one about a free mince pie! :D:D:D

Re: The club needs fans....
 

maybe do a Christmas deal 60 quid for 4 home games if you buy before christmas

Re: The club needs fans....
 

Ticket prices were slashed around this time last season.
£15
If you are not prepared to pay that for 90 mins of exhilaration at England's most iconic football ground then you are brain dead and not bothering with.
Ffs - what else is there to do on a winter Saturday/weds evening? Clear leaves out of your gutters? Watch Bake Off?

It's not Stanley's problem, it's society's problem.

This sounds good but are you still talking about Stanley?

Re: The club needs fans....
 

If we got 90 minutes of exhilaration - We could DOUBLE the admission price.

Re: The club needs fans....
 

One thing I've noticed over the past couple of weeks is some clubs doing kids for a quid maybe we should try this for december

Re: The club needs fans....
 

Been saying this since post #31, just glad someone agrees!

Re: The club needs fans....
 

Especially with it bee xhristmas people can't afford to shell out for football so even if just child prices were dropped, they're the future we need to do anything we can to get them in, even if every adult if they brought a child they could get a free pint or something

Re: The club needs fans....
 

I can't give you the up to date figures for the system today but I do know it is a lot less expensive than it was. I fully accept your point that it might be out of Stanley's range. However I don't believe that is the case but I can see that the system may not be worth while at stanley at the moment. If you see revive reds post just below yours it explains very well what I had in mind. If it proves to be a non starter at this time then there was nothing lost at looking at the idea. Just keep ideas coming, We need bums on seats and anything we can think off is worth discussing.

Re: The club needs fans....
 

Last season I suggested a small indoor area for "elderly" fans to watch the match .It was poo ,pooed without discussion. I do know of a number of elderly men who have all stopped attending our games as they get too cold. Have a heart , we may be lucky enough to have the same problem one day. And yes I do know it is a winter sport , but suggestion were requested and so this is mine.

Re: The club needs fans....
 

To quote the song Greeny.....' Baby it's cold outside '... YET my octogenarious bones will be well insulated and, unless the game is off, I will be there !.

But knowing how long cold bones take to warm up again, and how aging Lungs react to the inspiration of icy air, I do see your point. Perhaps a creche for Grandads and Grandma's is already planned for we OAPs in the new Stand-to-be , with free warming beverages on tap and
nubile maidens on hand to provide a half-time rundown at half time ?.

There I go fantasising again !.... and is ' octogenarious ' really a word ?.
