Discounted tickets for Cambridge?

maccawozzagod · 03-01-2006, 22:12

with the season now in the second half and weather will start to improve in a few weeks, the Cambridge game is one we can expect to have a back to normal crowd for: they wont bring an awful lot, weather still a bit crap etc etc. After that we have Morecambe and Grays which should bring healthy crowds of 2500 whatever the stakes. If we are still top by April then the last few games will top 4000.

Cambridge is the last chance the club have to try to offer incentives to bring in the newcomers and get an extra couple of thousand on for. Rob said on The Bee today that the people of Accrington are starting to realise that something big may be about to happen, give it a final push Rob only 8 more non-league home matches left!

Macca so what you are saying is most of your games have been played at home so far, thats why your top for me. You wont last the pace.

Darren Woodhead · 03-01-2006, 22:48

I agree, the club could give it a push with the tickets, but also the facilities need to be improved. Like it or not, football is in the entetainment industry.
We are not trying to win over the people who come on this site who are obviously keen fans, but if you tried a new experience on a Saturday afternoon with the family, spent around £50 and spent 30 mins to queue for something to eat or to use a toilet, would you go back?

okay then using your argument;

Halifax have played 11 won 8 drawn 3 lost 0 at home. this is scoring an average of 2.4545 points per game multiplied by the remaining home matches equals 24.54 points

away from home won 3 drawn 4 lost 5 scoring an average of 13 points from 12 games equals 1.08333 points multiplied by 9 games remaining is 9.75 points.

9.75 plus 24.54 plus your current 40 would give you 74.29 points.

Ours would give us 84.35 and the title.

current................new Revised Table
Stanley............... Stanley 84.35
Exeter................. Exeter 75.25
Grays ................. Grays 74.45
Morecambe ...........Halifax 74.24
Halifax .................Morecambe 74.13
Stevenage ...........Stevenage 72.54

I am not saying that proves we will win the league but it blows a hole in the myth that we are top because we played more home matches.

You may, if you wish choose to take this to the Morecambe forum, as they have played one more home game than you, and they lack intelligent debate so you could win an argument maybe.

New toilets or a centre midfielder you decide...............?

Can we all please ignore the fax fans they only here because most of their fans are hoolligans who ain't PC literate. The Halifax board has a post a week so if we stop talking to them they may get bored....

Also, the police bill for Saturday, I am delighted to point out, rests at the door of HTFC, as they were the yorkshire flavour their because they feared trouble from HTFC

Sweet!

maccawozzagod · 04-01-2006, 18:48

new bogs please Willie then I can start having a pint before the game again

John_Timmins · 04-01-2006, 19:37

we are not going to see anymore bogs or any drastic changes in facilities before the end of the season....maybe some porta-loos but that would be at a push lol

Scott_ASFC · 04-01-2006, 22:02

Stanley V.s Cambridge is the same day as Burnley Vs Preston. Just letting you know that the gates may decrease again for this game.

maccawozzagod · 04-01-2006, 23:35

it'd be a struggle then, but all the more reason to do something extra and something big! I know the arguments always goes that season ticket holders would be penalised but i am sure they, being the red through and through supporters that they are, would not kick up too much fuss for a one off. Maybe a free programme to compensate them a bit.

1. free programme for ticket holders
2. kids free with an adult - ticket holder or not
3. and this needs doing anyway, disabled folk able to get concession prices.
4. happy hour 1 til 2, get em in early
5. family ticket £20 Mum dad and 2 kids. No recently gay married men allowed unless its Elton and George Michael looking to 'pump' some money in.

Any more ideas chaps and chapesses?

Scott_ASFC · 04-01-2006, 23:41

Could Give a Free lucky Bag To kids who 11 or under who come with parents. e.g a few sweets (lollys) a pen pencil n ruler (ASFC Staionary).

Its a wild idea but it might get the kids to nag there parents to come to more macthes.

maccawozzagod · 04-01-2006, 23:48

thats what we need, more ideas like that, as daft as it sounds that kind of thing works. Bits of crappy plastic around the house with fixture lists printed on. The more the club name is mentioned or seen, the more embedded in the head it gets.

possible name for the campaign Embed Red in yer head?
