When the club cant do basic things like promote ticket prices on the twitter or facebook feed, its hard not to feel like banging your head against a brick wall. If anyone wants to look on the clubs twitter you will see there has only been a single mention of the Morecambe game and that is for the hospitality. Why have the reduced admission ticket prices not been mentioned once on social media? If we can't be bothered to promote it how do we expect people to turn up? We continue to be our own worst enemy.

Altering ticket prices may or may not have much difference to attendances but if as a club there is a negative attitude to trying out different prices and promotions to raise gates then we might as well close the doors and give up. Most businesses are now having to work harder than ever to get people to spend money with them, this continuous effort has to be done to keep customers happy and entice them to come back as well as gain new business. The club has to continue to look to come up with some promotions in times when there are a number of home games in a short period or attendances will be minimal as seen on the Hartlepool game. To just say we cant do anything to boost attendances is not something that the club should be focusing on.

The club should have a proactive attitude to finding ways to getting more bums on seats, the key tool the club haven't fully utilised is the £100 10 match ticket, pushing this would possibly appeal to people who have Stanley as their second team or fans who cant make all home games.
