details tomorrow regarding next season

What are you expecting? Increase, decrease or freeze?

I'll be honest, whatever is announced it cant be as badly handled as last season.

Unfortunately for me last season it was simply not financially viable to buy one, so im paying on the door this season, for almost the same money.

I would like to see it around the £200 mark personally.

Id be very surprised if it was a decrease, though it'd be a welcome one! I reckon it'll be the same as this season personally.

Tightrope time!

Hopefully the Club will get it right they knows what it takes to make the Club function in terms of money, areas that can be improved to increase revenue of which season tickets is a key part in money into the Club at a difficult time of year whilst taking into account the more you sell the more money in and then looking a expanding on that to those who purchase a season ticket in terms of the match day experience and increasing revenue for those twenty three games that they will attend.

The economic times are not just tight for football clubs but most people in general, I would like to see more emphasis on Family Tickets to some degree it is there with the under 12's but I would like to see it advertised not just on the website or the Accy Observer but as an advertising campaign like the Share Issue has been promoted with a town centre presence.

It needs to become a talking point for the right reasons VFM looking at new innovative ways of bringing people through the turnstiles no stone left unturned.

Over to the Club

As Blackburn Rovers have advertised their tickets at the same price as this season, it gives us a problem ! We have to increase the gates to survive, but in an economic down turn, how do we address the situation? We must increase at the rate of inflation, but any increase will result in reduced ticket sales.

Make the price of early ticket sales very competitive, to gain monies which could or should gain interest over the coming weeks and look at monthly contributions from fans on a standing order basis like most Golf Clubs inthe area. This would guarantee the club a regular income, which would help with cash flow throughout the lean months and over the season. There is no easy solution.

One suggestion we put to the club was a reciprical agreement between say Stanley & Accrington Golf club,where season ticket holders might get a reduced green fee or golf club members reduced match day tickets.Was just a thought.

Good, Sensible move by the club.

tonyalveston · 22-03-2012, 15:27

Good idea Fourth Official, as we have a number of Golf Clubs in the area, and this kind of net working makes good sense. Many of the members are soccer fans and I feel would welcome the option.

cashman · 22-03-2012, 15:29

Very good move in this climate,Nice one Stanley.

Did speak to Rob Houseman at Stanley about it,don't know whether he took it any further.

VALAIRIAN · 22-03-2012, 19:00

Done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good video by Rob Heys on Fishy now.

fatgaz182 · 23-03-2012, 12:18

Sensible I suppose the only bugbear I have is I think the club should have announced this at the end of feb/start of March as the end of April deadline may be too short for some to take advantage of the deal ie familys etc.
