All ticket

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 :)

Isn't that why I've kept hold of my Newcastle/Fulham tickets?

Tbh this is just inconvenient. I'm a student, I can only afford to pay the £5 and I can't make it to the last game. I'm only home for two weeks, this is an hour of my time to go and buy tickets. However this does give a friend the chance to go to Stanley for free. :rolleyes:
 
It's people like Shillelagh (I'll check that spelling in a minute) who will make the difference between sort of OK crowds and good crowds, and having the only person vaguely on the inside who usually speaks sense on this site attacking her opinion as "negative" sends a poor message :mad:.

If I had only seen the article on fishy, I would not have assumed "all ticket" meant I could buy one in the shop on the night :confused:. I will be delighted :D but astonished :eek: if the home support goes over 3000 for any of these three games (though I'm pretty sure it will for the play-off semi). If it does, the queues at the shop will be horrendous.

I hope I'm wrong and it works well - but personally I think this is a daft move. Mind, if I do make the 250 mile trek for any of these games, I will certainly have bought my tickets on line in advance :)

Not a good idea if the game is doubtful due to the weather or there is a chance the trains could be messed about with railworks. Fortunately games haven't been moved because of TV at short notice. I usually leave it until the night before the game before getting a ticket in case I get caught out on my.

My other problem is the SPL fixtures aren't out for another week at least so I won't know about Barnet for a while although Bradford is OK thanks to our fixture being the Sunday.

If there was any kind of loyalty scheme then the Stanley Legends should get a look in because there's not much else in the way of benefits from it.
 
There's always going to be reasons why individuals don't buy advance tickets and no club can ever please everybody. Problem with Stanley is that the real hardcore support already have season tickets or turn up anyway. Will the drifters be bothered buying tickets ?

It's also tempting fate to assume that Stanley will still be very much in the mix for the Barnet game ( we know they will but those who don't watch often may not :) ).

It's the marketing/retail teams job to hype it up and sell tickets, my own view for what it's worth is the 3 match ticket is a good idea but announce each game on it's own merit as all ticket depending on what happens over the next few weeks.
 
sorry Mr T, but the Clayton end was not bordering on overcrowed last night, plenty on, but bordering overcrowding no-way, we stand yon 5/6 of us virtually every home game, dont think i see anyone being negative n think its pretty dumb to say that.

Cashy,

Suggest U review the CCTV pictures with the LCC inspector and read the Safety Certificate with the " Green Guide" and you may see my point!:rolleyes:

If you want to delve deeper, look at Kipax's wonderful photos and you'll see numerous breaches of ground regs!!

Guess it's time to re-apply to join the Unibond!!:(
 
then must have been too many in certain sections of it then? certainly not were we stand was it overcrowded, if thats the case whose responsibility is the dispersal of fans? perhaps its those responsible fer it should be in the unibond.:rolleyes:

This to my mind is the "Only" negative in this thread, bit much yeh saying others are init?:rolleyes:
 
If those seats were to be removed from the front of the Clayton end, overcrowding wouldn't be an issue. put them at the other end where they should have gone in the first place.
 
Slightly off topic. I dont know 1 person who doesnt go that often that knew games had been a fiver. Also I hadnt seen 1 bit of advertisement anywhere around town,pubs,shops,papers or outskirts of town. If relliance is strongly on 'word of mouth' for such promotions its not working nowhere near as well as it could.
But then again certain councillors get there knickers in a twist when adverts are tied to lamposts etc, and one certain pillar of the community who will no doubt be front page (as well as every other) in the accy observer if any success does happen said “They deserve to be shown the red card'' regarding possible expulsion from the league for not meeting ground requirements. Not many clubs have their own council against them.
 
Bit unfair mate, our council leader is against everyone that don't toe his line, not just Stanley.:D
 
Clayton End standing places 665,seats 760,totol places 1425.. Whinney hill corner standing places 130 Whinney Hill home seating area 173 total places 303 combined total Standing 890 seats 795 =1685 places of which theres at least 400 ST Holders..I was thinking the Bradford game would be all ticket after the amount of fans they brought last time,and also the barnet game, oxford will proberley sell there allocation of tickets anyway,which means just over 3000 stanley fans need to turn up each of the last 3 home games,a win at Moss Rose on friday night and it just might hppen:)
 
I think that Bradford was always likely to be all ticket if we had a sniff of glory. If they bring anything like the numbers they usually do then the game will be a sell out. Not sure for the others though and like previous posts I think it will put people off rather than attract them, and I haven't looked at the offer for the three games yet but there again I don't see the point as we are likely to get the decent crowds anyway so why give money away?

And I've also gotta agree that the Clayton End was nowhere near capacity - if it was then questions have got to be asked of the crowd given for the day. It's also fair to say that overcrowding was NEVER an issue before the damn seats went in, neither was poor stewarding/misbehaved fans.
 
I think Mr T is on about supporters standing in the seats behind the goal in the Clayton end!!!:)
