The offer for Barnet needs to be heavily publicised, it is a good offer but a little after the Horse has bolted so to speak in the lift it perhaps could have given the team a couple of months ago when we were on a roll and may have greatly increased the likelihood of these walk on's returning.
I know the reasoning behind the offer being now which is to roll out the new ticketing system which I am sure will be of benefit going forward for the infrastructure of most things around the Club.
It will enhance I am sure the online facility for the Club and be tailored to the benefit of us the fans.
As to the Barnet game being in effect an experiment I hope it works to help the Club build for the future and encourage them to offer similar deals at what may be poorly attended games in the future while helping to build the fanbase.
My only doubt is the system itself is not enough, the Club need to be expanding it's horizons on it's own doorstep by making it a place to come to watch football at an affordable & sensible price band for all and that is aimed more at the walk on who will possibly make up their minds after any offers through the system are possibly finished.
We need to be leaving no stone unturned in being out & about in the Community and I mean players & staff alike not just through the Community Lads, the Club has to be seen as progressive & proactive and by by setting the standards high and aiming high with everything in & around the Club then we may become the the hub of Accrington & Hynburn.
