Re: V Grimsby Town Guess The Gate
 

We can't attract gates anywhere near this level. Why? What are they offering that attract so many people?

Re: V Grimsby Town Guess The Gate
 

Accie doesn't have a population of 128,000 and has more than one rival League team within 30 miles?

Re: V Grimsby Town Guess The Gate
 

BTW, Grimsby have the fifth highest gates in League 2 and, whilst this may have something to do with being back in the League, good luck to them.

There are 9 Conference teams and 3 Conference North teams with average home attendances this season greater than Stanley's!

Re: V Grimsby Town Guess The Gate
 

Thanks for the Info. but Hull is only over the bridge. There are other bigish clubs within an hours drive. I hope they bring a couple of thousand over to Accy. We should be attracting crowds of at least 3000 to our home games by now. I am aware of the threads this issue has been discussed on. We need to do something very different at Stanley. Thinking caps on again.

Re: V Grimsby Town Guess The Gate
 

Why exactly do you think we should be attracting gates of at least 3000 'by now' - we hardly reached that number last season when we were at the top! And I'm afraid recent results aren't going to attract anyone but the committed fans to the Crown at the moment - yes, it's brilliant when the opposition brings a fair sized following which boosts our gate but as for home fans the problem of apathy amongst the population of Accrington isn't going to go away any time soon.
The improvements to the ground which have already been completed have enhanced the match day experience but on their own they aren't going to attract prospective new fans
