It was announced about the free admission at the Greyhound Pub Quiz last night. Lets all spread the word!

Scott_ASFC · 14-03-2007, 15:14

great news it being free but in my opion even if it was 5er for adults and 3 quid for kids thats great and the club would still make abit of cash off it

MCR ADIM · 14-03-2007, 19:59

not the same as being free tho beucas i you think of a family two adults two children the price you suggested would come to £16 plus the kids would want drinks/chips ect so could be anywere up to £25. now its free it is even less than £10 as you are jus paying for drinks/chips which makes it better for familes and for asfc as a whloe as they might get people coming back which would mean more profit which would equal
1)better players
2)better ground fastilaties
3)higher league postion
4)all the moaning people abit more happier

I have to say well done and thankyou to Stanley for the free admission on sat as a family of 8...mum dad and 6 children aged under 12 a day at the football is hard hitting on our pockets like the last poster said
1.tkts for us all
2.food/drink
3.travel(we live in Clitheroe)

Althou it is not a easy task having a family day out,due having to use public transport and having 1 child who needs a wheehchair we are able to do so on sat,this will be the 1st time ever that we have be able attend as a whole family,instead of dad 2 kids or dad 3kids and the others missing out due to pure cost.

so if you spot a a tripe of kids be lead by 2 stressed parents thats us !!

We are a football loving family infact a all sport loving family and thanks to stanley im sure we will have a great day out on sat.

hope you enjoy teh game Katei and welcome to Accy web.

As an aside, the kids under 12 get in free til the end of the season anyway. Go to the club shop next to the main turnstile and ask Lee for Junior Reds membership forms.

katei · 14-03-2007, 21:03

thanks

i have just be looking at website and saw that......great idea! althou i dont think im brave enuff or mad enuff to manage every home game with all the kids lol

does anyone know how the disabled/wheelchair area works?

it isnt a huge problem if we cant get in at the disabled area as we can take him out of chair to stand with us for the game but is better for him if he can sit in his chair

please dont tell me its in the seating area......is nt football unless you can stand with crowd not into all this sitting for football

sparkie · 14-03-2007, 21:21

sorry chuck but the disabled area is to the changing rooms end of our main seated stand, and for safety reasons you won't be allowed to take a wheelchair onto the terraces.

Glad you're coming though, tribe in tow!!!

katei · 14-03-2007, 21:25

hmmmm

think it may be a case of carrying him and leaving the chair at home then

SamF · 15-03-2007, 15:58

Don't think there are many in college who havn't heard of the free admission, I've got 3 ex-reds coming to the game. As for any people with Rovers fans not coming, they might as well come for an hour, who knows they might want to stay

What is there to gain by making it free admission?

Apart from a load of freeloaders turning up and making up a (hopefully) large attendance on the day, what reason is there for this move?

THE BLUE 'N' WHITES · 15-03-2007, 19:29

I have to agree with Tin monkey here, why are Stanley predicting to lose so much money here when they could have set a minimum entrance fee of say £2 a go instead of free?

As generous as the offer is,maybe a 3-4000 crowd at just £2 would have minimised any loss to the club?

maccawozzagod · 15-03-2007, 19:52

the quote from Eric on the way home from Swindon was that if they dont come when its free then they never will.

Perhaps it is a test of just what the town wants?

If they dont come out in droves for this one then we may as well all pack up?

As far as Eric is concerned this game and surviving the season is far more important than £13000 or less, I agree. If the place rocks and we can bring home the points then just maybe with another home match next week against the Welsh, we will stand a chance of surviving. As it stands at the moment we are bottom - a point below Torquay.

We simply cannot afford to lose.

katei · 15-03-2007, 20:36

Pure desperation. Hope it works.

But yeah.

K.S.H · 15-03-2007, 20:57

Near end of tax year

I'll agree with the desperation, we do need to win something soon
