Not one to make considered statements is our Coley!
Thanks for the good luck support, Mr Christie..

Could the 300 not fit into the Whinney Hill shed/Coppice corner like away fans used to do? With some good publicity and good weather it should be a full house and would be a shame if an extra 1000 had to be turned away at the gates!

That could be a good thing, they'll think they really are missing something and come back next week

If there's less than 2500 on the ground it'll tell us everything we need to know about Accrington and football.

She's not the only one , but the more discerning amongst us have noticed a certain amount of method, go for it Bananaman

TM, I think you may just have hit the nail on the head. I cannot see too many coming out of the woodwork for one match, when the next will be back up to full price. Personally, I would have preferred a reduced price (say £5) for all home matches for the remainder of the season rather than one free match. cmonstanley - I have a poster in my car (and have had for every home match and also every event (eg photo exhibition and Carl Shay sings for OSC) which I drive all over Lancashire and I cannot say it has made a blind bit of difference, however, good luck with your campaign

i also have a secret weapon with working in a public place

If they don't know about it they won't come! It's only us saddo's on here (50 at the most?) who have got the message, and we would have been there anyway. Preaching to the converted has never worked, so let's hope this is pushed to the limit by the club in every possible way. It's no good just posting it on the website and leaving it at that.

Dany from the Observer was summoned to the ground this afternoon probably with respect to hyping up this game


Personally I think the club should be applauded on this matter. It is the first really proactive thing the club has done in a long time, they could have handled it in the manner of asking a fiver and still been seen to being proactive, but free is free and if we cant get em in for this we never will! There are still numerous things need answering such as policing and stewarding for an unanswerable question such as how many. But well done to the club and in particular Eric Whalley (over my dead body will anyone get in for free) for taking the fight to the town and asking whether the public want to come.

Come or be damned, you have been given the option.
