...that's Stanley's average gate this season.

The next lowest is 2,007 (Dagenham & Redbridge).

The average for league 2 is 4,343.

In other words, John Coleman has been running a race with a weight tied to one leg...and he's still managed to keep us in the league.

And some of you want to get rid of him??

Well, as far as I'm concerned, the man's a miracle worker! Keep up the good work, Coley! :cool:
 
I echoe the sentiments Mr Harris but shouldnt it also be noted that it shows the measure of Mr Coleman - that he doesnt hide behind this figure and himself believes he can push his miracles with our meagre resources even further.

Long Live King Coley :)
 
From memory our average attendance in year 1 was 2600.

So on that basis if Dagenham and Morecambe have a poorer season in year 2 and "lose" the 1k as we did, what will their avearages be??

D&R 1,000 Morecambe 1800.

Whilst we need to improve and retain our core following, providing we improve again at home and continue to build for the future, the future can be good.

The exhibition this summer and some astute signings will help:)
 
Good quality signings will help!
Hopefully the price of Season Tickets will help drive up the Core Support
A couple of Top Name Pre-Season Friendlies may help
The Exhibition will help promote the Club where it most's matters which is in the Centre of Town itself!
Getting off to a flier when the New Season Starts will help
Positive Press will help!
Some matchday incentives may help:
One game for any Season Ticket Holder bring along a friend for a fiver

First two Home games Try before you Buy Scheme if you like what you see and buy a Season Ticket at the normal price knock off the value of the Two games attended so long as Ticket Stubs are kept, may not bring in hundreds of people but in terms of money may encourage a few to part with their hard earned cash earlier than they normally would and have a few more regular attendees:)

Family Day where a Family can be admitted for a set price

Ladies Day where all Ladies attendees can be admitted for a set price

Red Day where everyone who enters the Ground wearing the teams colours gets a raffle ticket and a Draw takes place at Half Time to win Stanley Goodies

No stone should be left unturned in the pursuit of trying to increase the footfall of people into the FES:)

That's always a good one for the annual contest of running the rule over the opposing players and having a guess at who they will be selling come the "Next January Transfer Window Competition":p
 
I can't see attendances rising unless we go on a good winning streak. Credit crunch is in the news every day. Its an expensive day out. I live in bury and can't afford to go petrol prices are high. Admittance is high. Kids more important
 
Been displaying that all thro today on sky sports news - bottom eh but we're still above the bottom end of the former season tho top at beginning of new season:p
 
400 difference to the next poorest team? that's £120,000 over the season based on £13 a pop. Looking at the average figure of 4343 that's a deficit of over £800,000.

and people wonder why we struggle to complete? that's the only thing that makes me mad about many of last seasons performances. In many of the games that I watched there was not much difference between us and them yet we failed to win games we could and should have - Rochdale, Notts County, Wrexham at home are the ones that mainly spring to mind. We need a cutting edge up front and we need to cut out the sloppy mistakes at the back, beyond that we are not too much different than many of these far richer clubs.

What a difference it would make to us if we could get 3000 a game at the FES and double our operating budget.
 
it would give us a bigger budget but just think of the noise coming from the clayton end with another 500 people stood under it all singing. if that would not spare the players on than who knows what would

He played Graham Branch.
He played Lee McEvilly.
He played Jay Harris on the wing.
A lot.

'Tactically flawed football manager who does quite well under circumstances' is more apt than 'Miracle worker' I feel.

Better football = more fans. Simple, and fickle, as that.
 
Quite well? Name me one other manager who's kept a team in the football league on gates of 1,633. You can't, because no one else has ever done it. So, not just miracle worker but trailblazer and an inspiration to all non-league clubs struggling with public indifference...and that's not just the Black Sheep talking! ;)
 
it shows that clubs on low gates on low budgets,cant sign big league name players and yet we finshed higher than last season! so whats that say about coley and the management and the players! coley is king long may coley and jimmy be at stanley

think yer in the wrong town for that shaker, the side of 61/62 did play much better football than that, true there was just about double that gate then, but that was it. n those who were young fans then became lost forever in the main, sad fact but true, n football i reckon is much harder now fer the little clubs to attract, money, hype, n bullsh**. talks, simple as, if the reds can get up to 3000 average thats great n also a miracle.

1500 - 2000 would seem to be a more realistic hope at the present time. A steady growth in the Club's fan-base of loyal supporters who purchase a Season-ticket and turn up week in- week out, would not only provide some increase in Revenue, but also produce results which might just diminish the numbers of 'Love/Hate Coley' threads which litter our Forum from time to time !.
