Accy £50 Clubhouse Appeal.

pjlc · 07-04-2011, 18:37

If anyone from the Club is reading this message I kindly advise you to withdraw from charging supporters ANYTHING for drinking in the Sports Bar. Yes it is a nice little club with friendly staff but the questions what need considering to warrant the extra charge are..... 1, Is the beer better than the local pubs around? NO. 2, Is the beer cheaper than the local pubs around? NO. 3, Is there plenty of space to enjoy a half time drink etc with quick service? NO. Personally I drink in there to put a few quid over the bar to help the club. Im sure that anyone wanting a half time beer with a charge will now wait till full time and have a beer elsewhere. Please rethink this for the good of the club, this will cost money not save it.

Five of us S/T holders tend to go in Clubhouse, & have 2 drinks before, one at half time, plus the occasional pie (total expenditure approx 45/50 quid, times this by 20/23 games), we will NOT be paying 50 quid for the privilege of going in at half time, as we can get our pre-match drinks elsewhere, & only have to forgo the half time tipple.
Please, directors/decision makers, go figure!
Work out the maths, & if I am wrong, show me how you think this will not affect bottom line profits from the bar!

Can someone tell me , how they at Accy Stanley are going to police this ? they are going to have to put 2 extra people on the doors , but yet still allow people too go to the loo at half time . As there is a DRASTIC SHORTAGE of them on the ground ??? And most arnt working !!!

The longer the Club wait to put out a statement on this particular subject the worse it becomes

There appears to be no valid reason?

Mark baker · 13-04-2011, 07:10

ten of us S/T holders go in Clubhouse none are going to pay so we have decided to go the greyhound so THANK YOU STANLEY !!!

Where did this story come from?
Any chance it started on the first day of this month?

It's in the season ticket brochure

GET EXCLUSIVE ACCESS
The match day experience usually involves a pie and
a pint so why not enjoy the day by grabbing the
early game on the big screen whilst soaking up the
atmosphere in our exclusive lounge.
Seasonal access to the matchday lounge will be just
£50 next year. [email protected]

I reckon that like the similarly ill-thought out all-ticket Oxford match idea, this little wheeze will be dropped before long.

Not being a Stanley fan myself, I don't know the people who's names are mentioned on here, by that the people that run the club, but I think the next time I'm in town I will be able to spot them quite easily, they will be the ones walking with a very bad limp, through shooting themselves in the foot.

Whalley Red · 13-04-2011, 09:54

I won't be paying the £50 either.

A COMMUNITY Club should be welcoming everyone to the Club and making them feel a part of something bigger than just the first-team. Ilyas had a 'vision' for an all-embracing Community Club; this reserves the Club for the Prawn Sandwich Brigade.

alan7554 · 13-04-2011, 10:49

i will willingly pay the 50 pounds if there is a clause in that says we get 4 free pints every home game,then again i use to think that the moon was made of swiss cheese

last week you HAD to have tickets for the Oxford tie, this week you can pay on the gate. It would suggest to me that the club have realised a mistake was made and taken steps to rectify it. I would imagine this will quickly follow suit. Unless they can guarantee that they will 'sell out' the lounge packages every week then this is the stupidest idea they have ever come up with.
