Typical Accy Stanley nouse - or lack of.

I can see the logic behind this, and it will be great to have a bumper crowd, but it hardly made a difference to the crap displayed at Rochdale did it?

FFS Theres always one!! me, me, me, think about the big picture and feel happy that you donated a couple of quid to Stanley.

Problem solved!

I'd rather have a voucher for some free beer on Saturday if it's all the same to you Redskin

. Seriously though, I have mixed feelings on this, whilst I can see the logic behind an incentive like this and I really do hope it works and we can get the ground buzzing on Saturday, how many of those who do take advantage of getting in for nowt but who wouldn't normally come within a mile of the ground, will come back? Unfortunately, I can't see it being that many - if any. Having said that, I hope I'm wrong and the attendances get a good boost after this - I'll keep my fingers crossed (and get there bloody early on Saturday just in case

)

What's the betting we don't print enough programmes and run out of 'em half an hour before kick off. I just hope somebody's had the nouse to order an extra supply.

Plenty, if we win 5-nowt. None if we play like at Rochdale.

People will take what they can for free & then bog off. They're not stupid.

we moan if it rains and we moan if its too sunny!

the bigger picture again.

Whether you are at school or at work, in the dole queue or shopping, people are talking about Stanley again for positive reasons, this is a good thing. They certainly wont all come back but I dont think an awful lot of 'never-been-befores' will come, I think it is about enticing BACK the people who have drifted away over the last few years. If they come back they may remember why once upon a time they couldn't stay away. They might re-addict themselves. If that brings back a hundred people then it has been a worthwhile excercise - if it creates an atmosphere where Torquay capitulate and give us three points then it has been a worthwhile excercise - if we all look to spend a bit of extra money here and there around the ground then it has been a worthwhile excercise.

When Doncaster Rovers did the same thing a couple of years ago to boost attendances their chairman compensated every season ticket holder with a fantastic free goody bag including a home shirt worth £40.
Good idea or what? And I'm not a season ticket holder btw.

As a season ticket holder i don't give a toss about other people getting in free tbh....its our club and if this means increased chance of a win on saturday then im all for it...just hope the club is planning to guarantee entry to all season ticket holders???
