End of the day its a terrible idea and it's quite a punch in the face for regular fans !
Why not look after the 800 or so fans the club already have ....

No, as you said it's your choice and if you don't want to buy one it's up to you however I would think I would be an idiot if I hadn't as I've been to 8 home games already this season at £13.50 a time. No need to suffer anything as they are still on sale and I'm looking at buying another.
I wouldn't wear my Rangers shirt as I'm there to support Stanley. I would wear my Stanley shirt and scarf as I always do and pay the extra if I had to. Were it another club I was going to see I would do otherwise and save the fiver but I would only be there to watch a game not support one of the teams. If I lived in Accy you could have borrowed a shirt and scarf from me but I don't.
I agree it isn't good for Stanley regulars without seasons/flexis but it is an attempt to get some income from people who wouldn't normally go and so far only one person has came up with an alternative method of raising extra cash so feel free to join in. It's easy to say an idea is rubbish but not so easy to come up with an alternative. I thought the idea behind Friday games was to attract fans of other clubs. From my point of view I could say Friday games were a "punch in the face" for fans like me who travel 300 mile round trips getting home after midnight and have only missed one home league game all season but I accept that the club have to try things to raise money and get on with it. If two people go who don't usually but I can't the club benefits and I lose but that's life at our level.
As has been stated previously to extend the discount to everyone would probably lose money so would you prefer the club to do nothing? Would you like us to reach the bucket rattling stage again?
