The club needs to print these posters & deliver them to the shops, & not a case of "oh well, they can download it from OUR site".

That to me is good point n summat the club needs to consider, its only a couple of weeks ago a businessman was saying to me, They want people to help,yet expect me to download n print it, well it aint gonna happen. Stuff like this aint rocket science its common sense!

One of the biggest problems with ASFC, is that, they always want YOU to do things for THEM.[/QUOTE] I wish i had a quid fer everyone thats said this to me oer the years. Whilst i accept people are working hard n doing there best, Still need to wake up n smell the coffee.

Winstanley and I were at St John's Baxenden this morning and Green Haworth and West End Primary last week doing assemblies.

We gave away 300 tickets to kids on Saturday. 38 attended.
We average 400-500 giveaway tickets each match.
Been to Accy, Ossy, Bash, Hapton, Haslingden, Blackburn, Church, Gt Harwood, Crawshawbooth, Clayton with players and/or Winstanley.

The cub has linked with Lancashire County Council to set up the Winstanley Attendance League. See this weeks Accy Observer/ programme.

We also sent 700 discounted tickets for Express Gifts Workers recently.

Have you seen:
Football - Tickets For Troops

Our Community trust also have up to 120 discounted and free tickets for grassroots football teams each match.

Over a quarter of our 469 season ticket holders didn't appear on Saturday!

8000 leaflets were delivered to houses in Hyndburn. Inside were £10 ticket vouchers for Wycombe and Plymouth. Less than 10 have been used so far.

On a positive note we've sold more half season tickets Jan- May than ever before.

Good to hear (apart from some of the take-ups on the offers), but it's a pity it took a thread like this to elicit this information. Us Stanley obsessives/neurotics need to know about these things!

Also, I know I keep saying this, but we need to cast our net even wider! The Ribble Valley, perhaps even up to Barnoldswick, West of Blackburn - we're only 5 minutes away from the M65, the main artery of East Lancs. We need to expoit this!

I it would be interesting to find out how many people actually received these leaflet.

Great post WhalleyRed. Everything weighs up economically, and the problem certainly lies on Stanleys Doorstep. Facilities never have and probably never will be to the Standard that act as a selling point for 'prospetive fans' to come and watch.

Season ticket payment types are a must have. Perhaps quarterly payments(through season no annually).

The Family Experience 2Adults 2Kids etc is a big focus area.

Glad to see a thread eliciting a very good discussion.

Hyndburn has a population of just under 81,500 people. If half of these people are adults then the club has an enormous amount of work to do. 3% of the adult population in Hyndburn attending Stanley games.

With the greatest respect AccyJay, it isn't adults you need to attract to Stanley, its their kids, most people with kids over 10 and are interested in football will long ago selected which club they were supporting, with kids you do stand a chance to convert them to the cause, but even that ain't going to be easy this day and age, with wall to wall coverage of the Big boys in this country and also Italy Spain and Germany every week on Sky, there's a German League Game on ESPN tonight, so that's what clubs like Stanley are up against, its not easy.

We certainly didn't receive one

[AccyJay]

I totally agree. The main problem is that the club don't even seem to be trying to tap into this potential.

We have our quiz night later. I'll be asking all the people if they got one.

Thing is most owd farts like me went elsewhere in 62,when accy did,nt have a club anymore, we were in teens or some younger back then, we got wed etc took the kids to wherever we were going etc etc, unlike me most never returned to Stanley, which is understandable cos footy is tribal, Attracting tomorrows fans is a must, its gotta be the kids.

.

just a reminder, you can put money onto your 'account' with the club shop ... thus creating a monthly, weekly, daily flexible saver plan

Is that scheme still going ? Bear in mind it was being run when they had a full time retail manager
