Best idea yet.

Slightly off topic. I dont know 1 person who doesnt go that often that knew games had been a fiver. Also I hadnt seen 1 bit of advertisement anywhere around town,pubs,shops,papers or outskirts of town. If relliance is strongly on 'word of mouth' for such promotions its not working nowhere near as well as it could.
But then again certain councillors get there knickers in a twist when adverts are tied to lamposts etc, and one certain pillar of the community who will no doubt be front page (as well as every other) in the accy observer if any success does happen said “They deserve to be shown the red card'' regarding possible expulsion from the league for not meeting ground requirements. Not many clubs have their own council against them.

Bit unfair mate, our council leader is against everyone that don't toe his line, not just Stanley.

Overcrowding - my eye! Overcrowding is when you have to use a rolled up newspaper. Accrington townsfolk don't do overcrowding - unless it's free entry on the day.

Ticket problems at Stanley, too many people wanting tickets, overcrowding.......Bring it on

Clayton End standing places 665,seats 760,totol places 1425.. Whinney hill corner standing places 130 Whinney Hill home seating area 173 total places 303 combined total Standing 890 seats 795 =1685 places of which theres at least 400 ST Holders..I was thinking the Bradford game would be all ticket after the amount of fans they brought last time,and also the barnet game, oxford will proberley sell there allocation of tickets anyway,which means just over 3000 stanley fans need to turn up each of the last 3 home games,a win at Moss Rose on friday night and it just might hppen

I think that Bradford was always likely to be all ticket if we had a sniff of glory. If they bring anything like the numbers they usually do then the game will be a sell out. Not sure for the others though and like previous posts I think it will put people off rather than attract them, and I haven't looked at the offer for the three games yet but there again I don't see the point as we are likely to get the decent crowds anyway so why give money away?

And I've also gotta agree that the Clayton End was nowhere near capacity - if it was then questions have got to be asked of the crowd given for the day. It's also fair to say that overcrowding was NEVER an issue before the damn seats went in, neither was poor stewarding/misbehaved fans.

I went to have a look at them but the link from Accrington Stanley is not working

I think Mr T is on about supporters standing in the seats behind the goal in the Clayton end!!!

I would imagine it makes sense that the money goes to one area(ticket office),rather than having to be collected from the numerous turnstiles,if the crowds increase as suggested.
Makes it easier for mr Whalley to count it !!!!!

.... where've you been! he's gone!

Bit of a bummer if you didn't know its a ticket only game when you get there isn't it
