about message board ?

I too have lost most of my belief in the club. Allthough I am fairly new to Stanley (the last 6 years) I have been a staunch supporter of them. Now, however, I really dont care if I go or stay away. The reason for this is quite simply that I no longer feel a part of the club. To say that the fans have been alienated is an understatement imho. No doubt the rose tinted glasses brigade will get upset by my comments but tbh I couldn't give a monkeys! I will continue to support the team but will not be putting my hard earned cash over the turnstile untill we have a change of attitude (read chairman). Very sad.

It defies all logic to alienate the fans. Our most prominent 'unofficial' message board works with the club. At times some things are posted which the club ask to be removed but general critiscism isn't. We also raised just over £27,000 in various competitions, sponsored events etc over the past 12 months which is donated to the youth development of the club.

You've lost generations of fans ( no doubt somebody will tell me whose fault they claim that to be :rolleyes: ) and working with them is the only to recover that in years to come.

I've even had to persuade my Stanley mad partner to go to the game today, says it all really !!!

It does seem sad that any new Stanley fans, as well as opposition fans, won't now be able to enjoy the forum's banter, if they aren't directed here from the official site.

I think if the club put a simple disclaimer with the link, that it is a fan's forum, and not necessarily the views of the club, their problem would be solved.
 
this is so sad. i have been watching since the mid eighties. Everything is so negative at the moment. i dont go anymore out of principal due to everything concerned that i read on this forum (maybe thats why they dont want people to see it). the prices are extortionate especially the food bars around the ground, its a rip off and what they dont understand is that you may have reduced prices for kids (thanks) but the food is still expensive and when two children want drinks, chips, hot dogs whatever, it gets expensive. bet the club get commission. i have voted with my feet and i guess a hell of a lot more people will do as well as todays attendance proved 1056. I am a gold bond subscriber and im thinking of cancelling that as well. i feel sorry for the junior eagles as well and the discussions on here about it.
 
the food is mostly beyond their control as it is franchised out.

The advantage is that they get a set amount of money every game be it a JPT 1st round against a nobody team or an FA Cup against Rovers.

THe disadvantage is they get a set amount of money every game be it a JPT 1st round against a nobody team or an FA Cup against Rovers.

If the club put on a specific promotional entrance price they can't recoup the losses on the ground as there is next to nowt to spend money on.

I have always advocated that the club should run the outlets via a catering manager (its only half a dozen hours at the most) but in retrospect, bearing in mind the lack of stock on the bars some times, maybe thats a bad idea!

But seriously, without direct control of the food, without stock (and lighting) in the alcohol bars, without a proper place to buy programmes, without a shop large enough for people to browse around then the club is never going to fully exploit the money that people may wish to spend on a matchday.
 
I didnt want to go didnt feel like i used to about going to watch a match at the fes, once upon a time coppering up to get out the door, felt no excitment at all. Funny this thread was discussion on the terrace, general consencious in that despite the negativity of the club we do go & get behind our players willing the play for goal for 90mins or so then negativity soon returns once the footy stops.

Now i go to watch & will the team on because in the name of Accrington Stanley in the heart but nothing else regarding it behind the scenes - which is a shambles! Karma to the person that turned the tv up as the face novelty bird spoke LOL!! & also to ricky [nice rebellous announcement voice of the fans today] pmsl!
 
Thing is Macca as u know only too well nothing will change because they simply refuse to listen - leading horse to water & trying to make it drink!
 
U didnt go to the match??? ah u missed a little treat then hahaha ricky made a few new fans today :D

That girl face of stanley!

Just got back from today! I think that Stanleymad is talking about Ricky who I will best quote " And the referee UNBELIVABLEY has said that there will be a minimum of THREE mins of added time!!!!!!!!!!"


We were robbed of at least 10 mins of time today by the keeper and the ref for not taking charge of the match! To say it was a disgrace is an under statement.
 
I reckon the latest move (the removal of the link to this forum) is the latest phase of the Eric Whalley master-plan to get us back in the Conference. He's well known for his hatred of parting with money. If we were back in the Blue Square his expenditure would fall drastically. He's insulted the fans in the local newspapers by saying the Town doesn't deserve a league club, he's insulted the fans on TV when he said "Who'd pay money to watch this ****e?", he insulted the stewards when he said "Look at 'em, you wouldn't pay that lot lot with washers" and now he's further alienated a major source of the club's income, the fans, by removing the link to the message board. 1056 spectators, that says it all. As much as he's done for the club over the years Mr. Whalley is rapidly becoming a liability.
 
:( The messageboard was removed from the fishy site because of negativity and the constant criticism that the club gets on this forum:(
