Bagpuss, firstly, who exactly are you expecting Eric to sell up TO?

What exactly does Eric have to sell ??? a few stands (No pitch) and a brand name worth what !!! at this point i'd love to say millions but in reality not much i'm afraid, when you consider Bury have a very tidy stadium a brand name as good as our's and that went for peanuts

And, secondly, although I'm highly critical of the club's merchandising policy, I think you're being somewhat unfair on Rob. Think it's more a case of what Macca says - 6 people doing the jobs of 16. Time for Eric to take a few more backroom boys on?

Good point this Wynonie... Rob give's of his best it's more staff we need, Joyce has raised the Commercial profile but can't do it on her own !! she needs support. The club shop is ok but way overpriced, the mark up on the current Surridge catologue is very high. What about a sale in the club shop ??

Re Coley he to needs support somebody with league experience, i know some of you will give me greif here but we could do a lot worse than ask Stan Ternent to help... at least he has contacts.

Firstly how do you know that he has not had offers?
Secondly because as you say I'm being unfair are you saying I should shut up in case I upset someone. Whatever opinions anyone has now is the time for talking because if we turn into mice we will be discussing next season what went wrong and who was to blame whilst watching Conference football.

And how do you know that he has had offers? Care to give us the details?

As for the second point, there's a world of difference between opinions, even of the highly critical variety, and the sort of innuendos that you regularly indulge in. Firstly, you started casting doubt on the club's gate figures. Then Rob called your bluff by offering to show you the club's electronic counting system which apparently you declined. Then, you started making remarks about the club's impending involvement in a court case. Again, when challenged to give more details, you said you didn't want "to get into trouble."

So come on, Bagpuss, tell us here and now all the hard facts behind your remarks...

No, thought not. Squeak, squeak!

If we ever meet I will have a chat but there is no way I'm stupid enough to write anything down but lets get this straight they are not innuendos.:)
 
The people of Accrington aren't bothered about the club, the vast majority of Supporters seemingly aren't bothered, the staff are too busy to be bothered.

Nail. head, hit the the on......
Rearrange as you will!!!!!!

Not much more to say then, is there Bagpuss? You say they're not innuendoes, but you won't give us the facts. So, there was never much point in bringing them up in the first place.

But another 10 'backroom boys' will cost another 200k per year minimum...... can we afford that????
 
Well, maybe not ten! A couple might help to increase revenue streams to such an extent that they pay for themsleves and bring in some much-needed extra revenue too!

Good point - I live in Wigan and they cannot fill their stadium for the likes of Man Utd, Chelsea or Liverpool - all class acts in the Premiership. So if teams like this can't fill their grounds, and the Dingles are also complaining of low crowds as are Blackburn et al, what chance have we!!
:eek:

How long have you been in business ? :rolleyes:

Are there really any nuetral teams in football. If you are a football fan you generally tend to support a team.

There are a lot of football fans who support other clubs who have an affection and interest in Stanley. I know that from living outside the area. It's these people who might well be prepared to pick up some item of Stanley merchandise if it was more widely advertised.
 
I think its friggin disgusting for so called fans to call for the head of Eric, John or Rob. They all live & breathe this club & got us in the League in the first place.

Of course we could do more, but we had "recruitment drives" in town & a handful came (the list never included Bagpuss, Cmonstanley etc etc)

The people you mock online are all in thebar after the game if you want answers / have suggestions then sort it out.

This is our most successful season EVER, for @@@@'s sake:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Never mind a sale, a full on Asda Roll back.
I know several people who wanted kids Stanley shirts and ended up buying replica primadonnaship shirts off the market cos they were £20 cheaper. I think Macca will echo this, the greatest pride of the moment is to see the youngsters of Accy wearing Stanley Red, wanting to be Paul Mullin or Toddy instead of Gerrard or Beckham. The Stanley Kids shirts should be dirt cheap (even sold at a loss as a lost leader) kids is da future, kids should be free into matches with a paying adult, for every fiver you lose on a kid you could make 5 £13s from adults who think it better value. Why do kids stop being kids at 13 or whatever, d`ya think they got more money cos I think they got less. under 12 you`re probably going accompanied 13 - 16 year olds might go by themselves. So many tickets per home game should be given away to people who wouldn`t normally come what would be lost there`s still room.

I`ll echo Macca now, more people should be taking your comments from here and getting your Rsez down to the OSC meetings. The OSC is a different animal now, keen for action and forward thinking. It still needs many more people to add weight to it so that the (more sensible) issues raised here can be taken to the club and dealt with. I can fully understand that some of you are disillusioned with the OSC of the past but the future`s bright it`s Red and White. Its up to doers not moaners, whinging on here aint really gonna change much (except upset Rob Heys who`s probably working hard and worrying a lot more than you) spending a bit of energy on something you believe in will. If you don`t believe change and progress are possible you probably just don`t believe full stop. It`s not just an Accy thing it`s an English thing unfortunately.

Don`t think I think everyone`s got every minute of their spare time to devote to Stanley, I certainly don`t but my little bit and your little bit can be a whole lot of little bits that count for a lot.

This forum is a wonderful place for airing opinions and grievances but it`s not the be all and end all, it`s gotta be taken somewhere and made real or you might as well leave your complaints on your own answering machine.

I love you
I love Accyweb
I love Stanley
