it was mentioned on radio lancs this afternoon and its on the website the rest of the home games are all ticket

ASFC News Story > 3998

think thats a bad move .. if accy stanley want the fans to come why make it harder for them .. someone could be sitting at home thinking nowt on telly .. i'll go and watch stanley .... goes up to the ground and then finds out its all ticket and he cant go in ... they've lost the money that he would have brought in ...
 
Why this negativity???:confused:

Doesn't everybody to be part of the team??

Do YOU want to miss OUT??


What is being offered is a chance to back John, Jimmy and the Boys.

I BELIEVE, DO YOU

How much confidence would the boys feel to know that the last 3 games they would be "roared" on by 3000+ Accy fans??


Make your minds up and BACK THE BOYS:)
 
Its not exactly hard to go into the club shop on a match day and buy a ticket is it??.........
 
Sorry mr T I disagree doing this Stanley are seriously cutting their nose to spite their face!!! Just when we are getting interest back into the club, wasting resources we ain't got atm, like ticket paper queue miles long for clubshop - a load of peeing about when people could quite easily pay on the gate if on a nice evening or sat afternoon to watch Stanley say hr or so before KO. The fiver gate did bring a load more people neutrals thro gate and we still didn't fill the ground, so presume it's not necessary for all home games.

Normally when it being all ticket, tickets are not sold on the day of the game are they??

Does that depend on if it's a police deisgnated all ticket ( I suspect the Bradford match may be ) or a club designated ticket match.
 
Club designated ALL ticket.

Really can't understand this "negativity"

Clayton End bordering on over crowded last night.

So if you believe, you want to support OUR CLUB, buy a ticket!

Lew and the team have even put in a discount for all 3!!

What am I missing???:confused:
 
What are u missing? Think u haven't read my post I've spelled it out clearly! Cost of printing tickets - queuing in one area - presumption that everyone who came tues night will come again full price on vain hope of catching glory support could also make some turn round and go elsewhere if huge queing waiting for ticket print, the clubshop is only a small area, we had enough probs for FA cup runs. The clayton end still had plenty of space lower tier, the crowding was in the popular areas at that end. If then after say next home game we get a fullish house then yes would warrant all ticketing - certainly on play off matches.
 
mr T im one of the folks you want to attract to come more often ....stanleymad will agree with that ... when i come to crown ground i normally come with my brother .. a rovers supporter ... who sends me a text or calls in normally about 7.15pm at night (if its a night game) ... and says do you want to go to stanley ... and sometimes we bring one of my nephews as well ... who pays full whack not the students rate that he could go for ... we got to the ground 7.35pm the last time we came .. and had to stand around waiting to buy our tickets .. who then pointed us to the turnstiles .. maybe if she hadnt been more interested in finding out what the latest was wi the boyfriend/hubby from her friend who was stood in front of us ... we might have seen em come out onto the pitch ... we walked through the turnstiles as the whistle blew ... but if it had been all ticket .. we wouldnt have been allowed in ... and so lost the money ....
 
If its only a case of goin to the ticket office then theres no problem, if your up for goin game and have already got to the ground, goin to the ticket office for another 5 minutes will do no harm will it
 
hang on a minute I thought the clayton end/cowshed held 1400ish? if the gate was 2222 as stated last night, with the main stand absolutely heaving(1100) and 200 away fans, how was the clayton end overcrowded?:confused: Certainly from when i was sat in the main stand I could see plenty of seating available!

anyways, for my money all ticket puts off people who would come on a whim, like fans of other local clubs or 'give it a go fans'. Just my thoughts on the subject.
 
Discount for the 3 games, a guaranteed place, buy online, think it is a good idea and as Mr. T has said already, it helps the club when they know how many are coming!!

The next few games at The Crown are the most important in years!! Let's all get behind Coley and Proccy and let's have a ball and enjoy the ride!!!

ON STANLEY ON​
 
Exactly jen my point is exactly that, the last minuters that fancy seeing some footy and just wanna pay in and watch the game, we've lost floaters before cos they weren't prepared to faff about going in clubshop to sort a ticket and wait for print off they just wanted to hand their brass over and get straight in ... Why make it harder work than necessary? It's not negative it's practical business thinking! If the demand was so that u were turning away people at the turnstilles then yes ticketing would solute that problem. But atm the club need brass n bums on seats/feet on terraces. Once play offs are officially starting then consideration for ticketing would be a point, until then why count chickens before hatched, take all options for cAtching extra interest.

The chances of ppl buying 3 tickets at discount is pretty higher than the same person be a walk on fan to all 3 games.

The problems with ensuring there is enough change at each gate for walk ons while we are having should a good run

With the lads doing so well and crowds be larger if gives the club a good idea before the game of how many ppl will be on the ground for stewarding/food/beer etc...and crowd management ie the clayton end does not end up with too many in etc

But i do agree that tickets should be sold on the nite still but maybe with more than the little window at the club store,could a box or something be placed on the clayton end to ease the Q at the store window?

Tbh if the ticket offer is marketed well i would think ppl would go for the discount on all 3 games but it does need marketing well

I believe :)

Sort of defeats the object of all ticket if you just turn up five minutes before a game and pay :)

Maybe the 3 game ticket should also be used as a priority ticket next in line to season ticket holders for play off tickets if required.Loyalty to those commiting their loyalty for the remaining games :)
 
The point is the regulars will always pay in either ticket or on gate so it's not them u need to convince, it's the ones whom wouldn't come normally and decide in last hr whether they are gonna be the difference in yer gate. Make it as dave says a builder for loyalty scheme for play offs making it good for the fans whom supported us week in week out on good and bad days but allowing some cash add ons on gate gets the extra in.
