Re: Perspective
It's great the club is not in debt and shows the astute line the Club has taken!
Like everybody else it is a frustration that we are constantly wheeling and dealing and it seems more apparent this Season for whatever reason
Perhaps the gaps show more in League Two than in the Conference day's, but at the end of the day we are a League Club and I for one feel very proud of that fact.
The Commercial side of the club has moved on this season at pace with the kitting out of the Sports Bar and transition into the Buy the House Lounge and after sampling it for myself on Saturday, I can say that the facilities and service to sponsors is very good, while it is still relatively early days I would hope it can go from strength to strength as I would hope will the Crown. So there are more revenue streams than perhaps in previous seasons but the bottom line is we still need to get more people through the turnstiles we have had the discussions many times on here with a lot of good ideas but innovation costs nothing, as Macca has said we need the club getting in the faces of Joe Public when was the last time you saw the Club advertising in the Lancs Telegraph like Burnley & Blackburn do? When was the last time you heard a Stanley Match Day advert on the radio? The flexi ticket idea is a cracking one hopefully one that will be looked at for the start of the season or by really going for it and offering Season tickets at lower prices than our bigger neighbours and look at introducing a lower pricing level for under sixteens & oaps, we made great strides by offering free admission to under twelves but I would imagine that we lose quite a few as soon as they move into the next pricing band? We need to be looking at getting as many Season Ticket holders as possible look at what Bradford did with their pricing and what it attracted in terms of Season Ticket holders and that I would have thought it is all money up front
The other option for the Season Tickets is perhaps introducing payments over a short period of time say three months (every little helps)
