Now you are talking Wynonie thats a fabulous idea i'd love to have some of the peel park framed mounts as the th'owd peel park pub had hung up - i've always wanted them from being a kid, wonder what happened to all them frames bet they made a mint off them

Ah hum theres part of my perfect wish list for santa

Being away at our eldest sons in boston lincs last week my wife and I were unable to attend the victor michael show at the accy stanley club bar last friday night having put a piece about victor on the accy web about three weeks after seeing him at a warners hotel where he got an amazing standing ovation we wondered how he went down at the accy stanley bar knowing he has a quite a following from his previous appearances in the accrington area maybe some one from the vocus group attended and would be kind and let us know how he went down on the night

Some great ideas on here. My lad would definatley have the bedding and curtains, also a range of casual t-shirts (like most other clubs have). And what about this for a crazy idea......how about selling the new season's kit before Accy fortnight (summer hols) instead of the limited supply available in august. Wearing the new shirt abroad while on your hols is a must (unless you support stanley, when last season's has to make do).

OK, the sensitive types might want to pass over this bit and find something that’s not likely to offend.

What a ******** waist of space and effort. Why bother having the club shop online when you’re not exploiting its potential.

To start with get a couple of nice looking girls to model all of the clothing lines, Shirt’s, Scarf’s, Hats and Rain ware, have an half decent photographer take Photographs around different areas of the club capitalising on what the Ground has to offer. Remember that we are potentially selling to hundreds, if not thousands of willing buyers the world over and for them to see an area of the ground as well as the goods is a bonus.

Photograph the full range of goods on sale and get the images online, clear and detailed, make some effort over it, give better descriptions and provide a little more detail around logos etc, make use of the space available, a little bit of imagination will pay dividends.

I’m not have a cheap shot or taking the ****, but what would it cost to do a little more in order to increase sales of Stanley Merchandise.

make some effort.... the fairies havent been doing the shop up until now you know... I agree its greatly lacking in stock and run like a cartoon..... but dont presume that means no one has made an effort ..

yes you are.... you could same the same things without the asterixes and references to no effort... I happen to agree with what your saying.. but as somoene who has put some effort in by first making the shop then photographing everyhting and even dragging my kids down there as models. its not my fault if its been run shoddy .... doesnt mean no effort been put in ..


the club are in the paper and having press conferences saying they want more money... yet a golden opportunity exists that they are not exploiting properly... nearly crimbo and everything isnt in the shop... and what is there isnt even available half the time.. the online shop could be a stand alone business in itself... they could be coining it in...

why arn't they?

This is what I keep saying again and again! At this moment on ebay are Stanley mousemats, badges, dog tags, cooking aprons and T-shirts, all unofficial and all diverting money away from where it should go! If the club want an invaluable new income stream THEY MUST SORT THE MERCHANDISING OPERATION OUT!! (and that's meant positively and constructively!).

I think That was what I was trying to say........... and it was meant to be positive and constructive... I hope your not offended Lee. But think of the lost income.

Q: Whats the wine like?

Sorry to bring this up again.
Last night I was thinking (week and a half off work, getting bored, perhaps). How about a booth on the away end, with T-shirt printing, similar to the ones at Blackpool prom, where they iron on logos on plain T-shirts. Only ours will have the opposition club crest and underneath in small letters - Accrington Stanley V (whoever we are playing) plus the date. - £10 each.

The transfers can be printed on that T-Shirt paper for Inkjet printers, probably 3 T-shirts per sheet of paper, and Ironed- on, on request. I think 10 - 20 T-Shirts per 3-400 away fans will be possible, not a lot but it may just catch on and it's a 1 or 2 hundred quid quid per match.

just a thought.

I think that is an excellent idea Redash ! It would also make a nice souvenir of the away teams visit to the Fraser Eagle Stadium (or an unpleasant reminder when Stanley thrash 'em !!! )

How about having some items modelled by a fit bird, and some modelled by a fit bloke...? That way everyone's got someone they can ogle! Everyone's a winner.
