Season Tickets - Page 5

Must admit that's shocked me somewhat. I'd assumed that we'd sold around 400. I know we struggled last season, but I didn't expect interest to drop so low. What else does Eric say?...is he worried about it?

I'm not sure it's a drop in interest but the price rise. If you remember we got them last season at Conference prices, of course there are other factors but for me it was the price rise.

There were signs of early unrest from the fans as they started chanting substitute 'Leighton McGivern's' name, who was still sat on the bench

"...we might as well shut up shop"? That sounds ominous. What exactly is he saying?

Full article now on line, Accrington Observer- Coley makes plea to fans

Cheers, Oggy. Really don't know what the answer is to that one, but it's very worrying.

I think some people felt disgruntled last season after paying for season tickets. Remember the 'free' Torquay game, which season ticket holders did not benefit from. I also remember people on here complaining that they'd bought their children season tickets, just weeks before the club announced the under-12s get in free scheme.

Bad publicity has a knock on effect.

When Eric went to the papers last season, slagging off people of Accy for not coming to the games, it didn't work. Why would it now?
I'm a massive fan of Coley's, but the manager should stick to talking about what happens on the field without blaming attendances etc for crap performances.
This club is so dangerously unprofessional it's scary.

Have to agree with that last post don't have a go at the fans that do come also whatever the reason for delay with the roof it's a must to get sorted I know people who don't come to get wet Accrington small place but like anywhere walk on fans come in extra numbers when your at the top end of table so come on concentratemon getting right results.
