Count me in please Ash.

AccyAggro · 24-09-2012, 20:32

Good to see there's alot of interest.... as usual

smudgie · 25-09-2012, 10:40

I will be there.

AsFc62 · 25-09-2012, 11:58

Numbers are really low, with only 15 people interested as it stands.

Unless we have a significant increase in bookings, the coach will not run.

My apologies again

Thanks
Ash

Just 15 people out of a home support of between 1000-1500. Yes people have their reasons, but it is payday for most people this week and stanley are up there in the play offs. And yet theres only that many willing to travel (granted its not close but most away games are a trek this year).

Surely not everybody is busy every other saturday....

The lads need more support!

I'll be going on the train for obvious reasons so it's 16 out of the home support. In fact 17 cos there's 2 of us.

Even if it is payday this week. would guess most people have other commitments they need to meet with their wage first, mortgages, bills, food on the table etc., I'm sure most would love to go to every away game, I would for sure, but for many it's just not possible & folk have to pick the games they are able to go to - I doubt that the low level of interest is down to apathy, more a question of economics

AsFc62 · 25-09-2012, 19:36

and its £17 to get on at home...

COACH CANCELLED.

Only 16 booked on left me with no option but to cancel the coach.

Sorry for any inconvience

LongLostSon · 26-09-2012, 11:33

Calling all southern-based Accringtonians - asses to Kingston on Saturday - Stanley expects every fan etc - don't forget the throat lozzies, bit of an act to follow from fortress Crown !

You haven't caused the inconvenience Ash, it's the economy and the football league thats caused it

I would really like to think that this is true, but somehow I just don't think it is. When I travel up to see Stanley on a Saturday, I am always impressed by the number of travelling fans of other clubs. If I drive up, and Liverpool are at home, Hilton Park services is teeming with Liverpool fans. These are ordinary people, not the super rich; they have mortgages, bills, food etc. Again, if I come by train, I meet fans from many other teams.

The sad truth is that Accrington Stanley is just not important enough. The home support is evidence of this as much as the away support.

As far as the coach is concerned, it does seem odd to me as an outsider that it is not arranged by the Supporters Club. I have nothing but admiration for Ash and the efforts he makes to run a coach to away games.There must be a good reason why OSC does not arrange the coach - I'm sure someone will enlighten me.

Again, speaking as an outsider, there seem to have been rumours in the past about behaviour on the coach that has given cause for concern. If that is true, maybe that has put some people off.

No criticism is intended or implied in what I have just written. I am just as keen as everyong else to get better support for this great team.

In reality thought they are still probably a small minority of Liverpool's support in this country. Not really home support either if they are stopping off at Hilton Park to get to Liverpool

Revived Red · 26-09-2012, 21:19

Sorry, Dave. You've lost me there.

What I was trying to say, probably badly, was that despite the economic woes that we all face (well, most of us), Liverpool FC is so important to many fans that they are willing to travel from all over the UK to see their team at home.

As things stand at the moment, Accrington Stanley FC is not that important to too many people.
