New name???

Macca & Lindsay - spot on its really peed me off too really taking the preverbial now, front page of dross other than the fact a numpty aint gonna buy it but least we know where the joke originated now.

Many asfc fans on here support the club as best they can, speaking from the OSC point of view have been tirelessly trying to promote the club to the people, even successfully getting a grant to do just that!! We had 3 schools to the club last week enjoying their tour getting to know the club historically & present day aiming to tackle the much needed youth support - a real positive response from the schools whom came, there is the Exhibition happening this year - ALL ABOUT ACCRINGTON STANLEY this summer hopefully getting the towns interest & good press. Also the interest of overseas support & connections, the crowd performances & flags by the Ultras getting great attention again promoting the club. The many fans that came out on a freezing saturday morning to shift snow off the pitch so the match could go ahead, the many that painted the stands or volunteered their time to help the club & offered again in the summer.

So what do the club do in its appreciation & promotion of itself ............................ fluff it all up big time - for what ?? Free publicity ?? what about the season ticket offers - what about the schools that visited - what about ASFC integrating with the town - even Hartford coming didnt get the shine - what about the ground improvements coming - what about our objective for next season?? oh no thats jokenly gone to LSU - a made up prank thats what got the coverage!! The club have not handled it properly nor professionally, now is losing trust within it coop of fans nevermind the floating/new fans simply undermining & insulting the ones they have & the town they live in. The press have covered the fact that the desicion could 'effect' from next season - oh what a good one for getting season tickets sold - with even the thought of the prospect or even suggestion - joke or not its still not the point !! Still no reassurance or resonable response from club - shameful.

'Boy who cried wolf' story springs to mind:rolleyes:

I support ASFC not LSU!!.............whats the point - may as well not bother as support isnt valued as much as i thought :(

Interesting quote from Eric though, "I would not sell to anyone who wants to take the club out of Accrington or change it's name dramatically".

So what exactly does the word "dramatically" mean in this context? Or more to the point what would changing the name "undramatically" involve? Changing just one of the two words that make up our club's name? Perhaps the club could tell us!
 
Yes you're right , forget buying a season ticket now.... that explains it all!

Only my personal opinion but the "business" of football is actually taking away the magic of the game IMHO. I care not of takeovers, board meetings, shareholders, steward wages, chairmans opinions, press coverage, ticket prices, vouchers, corporate hospitality. Its like we have 1200 extra members of the board who like to squabble over matters that merely 10 years ago no-one would have cared about nor questioned.

I care about tradition, passion, history & pride; all in abundance at ASFC. I am proud to say I saw & continue to see the rise & rise of Accrington Stanley my home town club.

There is loads wrong with the running of Accy if we are honest but there are folk who have invested money & lots & lots of time who will get that right. The hierarchy only have ASFC at heart, if they hadn't they would have jumped ship by now & we'd be back in non league.

In terms of this thread & much of the content of the forum lately, I would suggest that the negative posters have driven many fans away as in reality, following ASFC ain't as bad as is portrayed on here........................

the s h i t e (and I wont pull the word or edit for that is what it is) the club have come out with this week would (if not a "publicity stunt") fly in the face of bold worded one (tradition), three (history) and four (pride)

who provides the fuel to the fire every time?




I really do admire your continued optimistic outlook Mr Miller but can you not see the potential harm this kind of rubbish does?

(expected answer - can you not see the harm that threads like this do?)

answer to that yes but chicken and egg

The only people that can increase gates are the players by winning games & Accy fans by making the experience on match day a wonderful one, one that potential fans feel they are missing out on.......

Eric moaning in papers will always happen, he's a miserable git ;) But he's our miserable git!

Now if the die hards can't be proud of our club (despite its flaws!!!!!) WHO CAN ?
