Re: Ok people let's take stock for a minute.
I have no problem with on the pitch six points from a possible nine if I am honest is five more points than I thought we would have at this stage with the fixtures we have had, it was below par on Saturday but in the main if I see effort and commitment then that is enough for me.
Facilities are poor no doubt, in terms of when you are in the ground there is the 50/50 draw, programmes and beer where money goes directly to the Club do other Clubs do more?
Yes they have bookies, screens to watch build up to games, facilities for having a drink inside you could argue that encourages people to go earlier and provides a revenue stream we have some but it is bitty the Lounge is doing okay for hospitality which encourages that side of the business as it must, would another facility help?
You can argue we have the Crown and I must admit I have just started going back in prior to games and the feel of it is great with nice decor, a good pint and a chance to watch the game on tv and catch up with friends before the game.
For me I want a match day experience whenever I go to any game whether non league or Premier League.
We have a family stand area is it advertised?
Do we do deals for families on ticket prices?
I think in some cases it is not just football and maybe lethargy we are up against but for a family day out football in general is an expensive day out compered to perhaps going to the pictures and having something to eat it probably is more expensive?
From a players perspective I am sure they would prefer to be playing in front of bigger crowds making it more intimidating to come and play at.
Solutions as an experiment we play Morecambe next Tuesday priced reasonably at prices already suggested.
Where will it be advertised so people who don't go on Stanley will see it and be encouraged to attend with those prices?
How many of you will attend because you have to pay? (I don't mean to sound coarse with that but be interesting to see if people even at a Tenner will attend) as it is not a season ticket game.
Going back to an earlier comment regarding other nationalities Burnley play Plymouth tomorrow night priced at a Tenner and somebody at work has mentioned this to their work colleagues of other European Nationalities and now there are an additional ten people going, I will do the same and probably bring at least another two it dosn't sound a lot but if 500 of us did it we could put a thousand on the gate.
