just can,t really the see the point of it as there could be better ways of spending the money but will support it if the majority want it.

I read on this thread that folks, although supporting the idea of a screen, think money could be spent better elsewhere. The only thing is, they don't say where. I know someone mentioned the changing rooms and that was explained by the fact that they were part of the bigger picture in the redevelopment of the Wham. Wouldn't surprise me if they didn't go in the new Whinney Hill stand (when it is built). On a personal note, I think the big screen idea is a good one but could well be a 2 year project. But, for my two penneth, if you want the money to go elsewhere, join the supporters club and air your views.

if someone can come up with a better idea on how to spend 40 grand on the club to improve attendances at the club i,d like to hear them. i personally don,t use the fanzone but can see the point of it for some. as for the screen probebly a good idea if the wham was the finished product but for me its like spending money decorating your house when you,ve a hole in the roof.

Just off the top of my head, The Sports Bar needs work doing on it, Mould on the wall where we have the projector screen on the wall, Not just on match days but would you have a birthday party there in that state?...Maybe someone on here knows the plans Andy has to redevelop the main stand, maybe this is in his plans already?

I won't swear to this, but I'm sure I saw somewhere that William Dyer (sponsor of one of the stands) has started doing up the sports bar. No doubt someone will correct me if I am wrong.

I would have thought that the priority at the moment would be to update the club website and app to allow fans, Home and away buy their tickets online and maybe allow them to be printed off at home if required. I would market the club to the widest audience possible using every means affordable. The screen is a good idea for later on. We need to increase attendances first to establish a bigger and more solid base. The club seems to be losing its community feeling and is simply money oriented. I think it is time to rethink some strategies.

Absolutely spot on.

The issue of improving attendances has been discussed ad nauseam in this forum. The common view always seems to have been that it is a hopeless task because of the proximity of Blackburn and Burnley. Andy Holt seems able to do most things. So until he can move Blackburn about 20 miles to the west and Burnley about 20 miles to the east, there would appear to be little likelihood of improving attendances.

There is a real danger now, though, that the loss of community feeling could have a detrimental effect.

only thing that worries me is andy holt is putting all this energy and money into stanley but is getting no return by getting extra fans to come to games. hope he will not get fed up by all this and walks away due to lack of support.

I would have to agree in the grand scheme of things we have 500 things that needed to be done at the Ground.

Surely this is job number 498?!

Utter rubbish

The club is trying to live within its means

Any extra revenue is being invested in the playing budget

You have absolutely no evidence to support your horrible accusation that there is a loss of community feeling

The club has never been this good

Mr Holt stated any moneys gained from our cup run would be put in to ground improvments http://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=A7x9U...ykxRJiTHU7UcQ- ACCRINGTON Stanley’s EFL Cup run - which continues with a third round tie against West Ham tomorrow - will allow owner Andy Holt to reinvest the profits in further work at the Wham Stadium.
A number of improvements were carried out at the ground over the summer and Holt plans to use the money made from their cup heroics this season to continue with the work as he looks to make matchday a more enjoyable experience for Reds fans.

Not according to Andy Holt himself. Read mab's quote. I would have thought that as the soi-disant fans' liaison officer, you would have known this.

Well Chrisr thinks that there is so there are at least two of us. My evidence is circumstantial. I could refer to the decline in forum posts by some of those who posted regularly until about a year ago. I could refer to conversations I have had (both in person and on line) with some supporters. But a specific question for you. From your exalted (but entirely mythical) position as fans' liaison officer, can you tell us if there have been any changes in the board of directors?

Furthermore, as you rarely comment on the actual games, I continue to speculate on how many you actually attend.
