Just taken this from Official site, we keep banging on about the low gates at The Crown, would something like this help to increase our gates, as well as giving the Match day Staff, an idea of how many people are going to turn up??

I like the idea of the mix'n'match, kids and parents. Still do not understand how all these Teams, Shrews, Dale, Shakers, Alex, Vale Etc. Get away with charging £18/£20 for League 2 footy?? At £13/£15 we must give the best value for money on the pitch!!! :)

Something to look at in the future perhaps??????

Agreed, good value for money at Stanley.
but I don't think this scheme wil work at Stanley.
As you said earlier prices are already low, how can a further reduction be made? . £13 to stand at the Clayton End (and we all know you can sit for £13 if you want). Under 12's already get in for free as a Redz member and it's free to join.

I am just thinking about the discount for booking initially! To give an idea of numbers, but £10. pre-booked, is an idea to be used in conjunction with 1 or 2 others, more through the gate, more noise, better atmosphere, more 50/50 ticket sales, more programmes, you know the idea!! Just a thought that is all! :)
 
:)How about this! Any paying adult for the Rotherham game pays £5 all areas as long as a ticket is bought at the same time for the facup match against Gillingham at full price. now thats an insensive to turn up:) but may be to late in the day now :(what you think
 
Great theory & offers but cant help wonder the commotion its gonna cause with the seat no allocation, presumably the stewards will have to check & escort people to seats, also remove people who have taken the seat [supposed reserved labels will be used], but also confuse people who are used to sitting in 'their usual' places having to move. Something that stanley isnt used to this method as other clubs! What about standing? do u get a reserved spot? lol

Can see the potential but can see problems being exsaperated for stewards & Mick & would have to be a method put in for all games rather than just some, otherwise confused.com it will be & least like with the clayton end seats & loss of standing took a while to adjust to, imho:D
 
Also great if u can book early but what about those that pay on the gate on the spur of the moment it may discourage tho.
 
Personally i think the Don actually aquiring E.W.s shares n a statement to ALL sections of the media,saying so, would not do any harm at all. i reckon some would drift back then,without discounts.:rolleyes:

It is just the theory SM, would not for one minute suggest allocated seating, I am just on about deals to get folk in!!! :) :)


180 all out :( :(
 
Probably be more apt for one of the Tuesday night games coming up and in particular be aimed at away following's as that is where most of the money would come from for such a promotion, if it was also aimed at either Rover's or Burnley season ticket holders as well it may push the crowds up greatly?

Wouldn't hold your breath on that one Cashy, if he was gonna buy the shares the deal would have been done by now :rolleyes:

i think so also accymad, but some clarity fer benifit of fans n possibles should be forthcoming as to what exactly is gonna be the case. then i won't hold me breath on that un either.:rolleyes:
 
I think any ideas that have the effect of increasing the attendance are to be welcomed.

The question why Stanley are not better supported as occupied a good few minds. But I'm not sure we still know the answer to the question. Is it just down to money, people can't afford go watching football. Is it that a lot more people would go if the team were doing well?

It could be that it's a mixture of both, or some other reason. I'm not sure.

I know that all football fans have been missing the beautiful game, but why would Rotherham fans want to pay a fiver to see us play Gillingham :confused:








Just joking, not a bad idea really:mosher:
 
Although Stanley's crowds could be better I think fans are great and really supporting the team.
You have to remember that Burnley is 5 miles one way and Blackburn 5 miles the other.
How many years ago was it we were in Uni L 2 and the attendance was 300 inc away fans.
 
we are still in the grip of the worst economic depression in living memory, and we havce the added unbenefit of now having two premiership teams within 5 miles. Yet crowds are not much worse than they were 18/24 months ago. Which suggests to me that better times may well not be too far away. It also doesn't help that we have had as much negative publicity as it is possible to have in the last 18 months!

I reckon that things are on the up next season anyway, but I would love this club to really push the boat out and make a statement to the whole world of football. We should ensure that we are the cheapest Football League club in the country. I would charge a fiver for everyone, regardless of age, political or sexual persuasion, creed or physical ableness. Family of four £20?

I am adamant that it would push crowds to the 4000 mark. We then have to be in a position to capitalise on triple the amount of people. We would havce to be able to get them in the club shop, sell them programmes and beer, and we would have to look at the catering as to whether we should up the rent to the current traders - or take it off them and do it ourselves. I am sure that advertising and sponsorship revenue would increase dramatically as well.

But if the school of thought is that by more halving our ticket price we would be halving our income then it wouldn't or couldn't ever happen.

That's true, although there have been times when we have had over 3,000 on. I don't know what the answer is. Maybe there just isn't the potential to get decent sized crowds on the Stanley on a regular bases.

I was being positive Bernard, look at where we are now and where we used to be. A big credit to Coley, the players an the fans of course. . . . . . . I was part of the 300 by the way.

I agree with what you say. It's just that question how do we get more people on the Stanley. Is it money, is it other factors that keep people away.
