ASDA Accrington – Saturday 28th March 2009
Accrington Stanley FC will be hosting a season ticket launch event at Asda Accrington from 10am-4pm.

There will be a number of ASFC staff and members of the Supporters Group on hand promoting the fantastic 2009/10 season ticket prices. Goalkeeper, Kenny Arther, central midfielder, Andrew Procter and exciting winger, Chris Turner will be signing autographs from 10.00-10.30am before they set off to Rotherham for the 3pm kick off at the Don Valley stadium. Commercial Manager Dan Warburton added, “It’s a great opportunity for the club to get out and raise further awareness about the excellent season ticket prices in very busy Asda store on their busiest trading day of the week. The staff at Asda Accrington have been very supportive towards assisting in the club in the promotional activities we are undertaking and we will look to continue to partner with them in the future.”

So pass on the message to family and friends and we hope to see you over at Asda on Saturday.

It's good that they listen, we also had a trailer at the beginning of the season advertising the new kit which could now be used as a moving billboard advertising the season tickets and parked up in locations around the borough

Ossy Millls would be another prime spot to set up as we already have use of part of it for merchandise etc

Accy Carnival coming up in June, let's get out and about and let folk know we exsisit

The Stanley Roadshow coming to a town near you soon, it's not as daft as it sound lot's of schools, churches, village fetes etc. during the Summer, we did it a few year back in Barrowford and most people commented on it!

From small acorns..........

Should get an "Ultras" float .....


Billboard is a great idea !!!!!

[Revived Red]

Agreed - this is a great idea. It's been suggested many times in the past and now the club is acting on it. Just a pity that they cannot spell the name of our own goalkeeper!

If you notice in the programmes Craig has gone from Lindfield to Linfield That is just part of the Stanley attraction....

Well that was a good campaign, went up about 2pm, accymad & Toni were there with several hundreds of leaflets with the season ticket details & application forms. We gave out all of them to the many customers in asda, with only a small amount discarded so with that it was a good do, with some sign ups & paid applications. The trailer was nicely placed in the best location of asda advertising stanley tickets too, thanks to Toni's grandad.

I saw the trailer go pass me on Whalley Road while walking the dog, looked pretty good and clear!

Hey Ladies & Gentlemen....

First i would just like too thank Lesley, Niel, Mel (& Daughter), Diane & the lady who came towards the end (sorry i forgot your name) for the help i received on the promotion day at asda. Much appreciated and without you guys i would not have left ASDA with my sanity ) Also thanks to Kenny, Andy & Chris for their participationprior to travelling to Rotherham for the game.

We flogged all 700 leaflets and we hope that we get a good response from it. We exagerated too everyone thats "kids go FREE" which if i say did catch the attention. The sweets on show also did go down well with the youngsters (& myself of course).

The carnival idea is already in swing and i had a meeting myself with the organisers last week and we will be hoping to bring the players along aswell too tie in with what the Ultras are thinking of doing. So basically making us all as 1 for the day as really we all do follow the same club.

I have noted down the suggestions on here re advertising and i will look at them over this week and see what we can do to get Accrington Stanley in everyones eyes....

Thanks again to everyone who has helped me, and if anyone has any other ideas as to where could be a good idea for another Season Ticket Launch thing like ASDA then please do tell me.

Toni

Well done to all who helped, it seems like it could have been successful. good luck with the rest of the stuff Toni.

As for the other places to do a launch. You could try Tesco, Asda and Sainsburys in Burnley, and Tesco, Asda, Morrisons in Blackburn.
The three in Burnley should be favourites as we could steal the fans back, that were stolen from us 45 years ago.

Seriously though, Clitheroe and Haslingden/Rossendale valley should be fair game.
