Maybe One Day ?

Went to Wembley the other week to watch a Conference side in the FA Trophy and they took 25000 fans, whilst there I thought it would be fantastic if Stanley got there via the play offs one day and it could be a sea of Stanley red shirts.

Only if you hand em out free to everyone who lives in the town and pay for em to get there...........................otherwise they'd accomodate your fanbase behind one of the dugouts

Sad, but true. I reckon we'd struggle to take 2000 fans if we ever got to Wembley.

They would all come out of the woodwork for this one. Lets face it, both Rochdale and Stockport do not have the fans to make up 35,000 + that were at Wembley last Monday. I suspect we would have a few more than 2,000 who were suddenly Stanley fans for the day only for the following season to see attendances at the FES be slightly raised due to playing at a higher level but certainly not on the level that had been to a play off final. We could not accomodate them.

I know that's normally the case OO, but I don't think Accrington is that interested. The only way we'd get a higher number of fans would be people from around the country showing interest in us. I still believe we'd struggle to see more than 2000 people travelling from Accrington itself.

Remember the crowds we've had for FA Cup matches? 10801 against Crewe in the second round, played at Ewood, 5700 against Scunthorpe, played at Burnley, 4368 against Colchester Played at FES.

There's no doubt that fans will come out if there's the chance of a bit of glory. And the chance of watching a winning team. Even in our first season back in the league we had 5 or 6 crowds over 3000.

Keep the faith!

think it would be a few more than that TM, when i went to cardiff fer the rovers v spurs final i was amazed how many stanley n dingle fans i saw that day.

There's a difference between popping down the road to see the game and paying to get to London, plus Wembley prices. Maybe if the coaches were free we'd see a bigger turn out?

Revived Red · 30-05-2008, 16:11

Could the club organise the allocation and distribution of tickets for more than 2000?

shakermaker · 30-05-2008, 16:14
