Where were the rest, especially as Rovers and Burnley did not have a game. NO EXCUSE.

Carlisle had less than 1700. They were given 1700 the Coppice & all of the Whinney Hill but only SOLD just over 1000! I'd say there were 1250 Carlisle there............. you work it out

Anyway, its quality not quantity - why would you want loads of Blackburn & Burnley....

We had better flags........... & a better pre match display.....& double the amount of drums they have. For a little club like Stanley we are doing ok off the pitch. You'll fill it when the results come.

STANLEY ULTRAS FOREVER....................

They had one drum and we had two, very good. Whilst I appreciate what you are doing with the flags, etc. It's the performance ON the pitch that matters not off the pitch. We are getting a steady 1200 home supporters each game. The only way we will increase this is by winning games, people love to be associated with winners.

We want Blackburn & Burnley and basically anybody. At £10.00 per head they are all welcome. I think we need quantity - the more the merrier. Woud you rather have 500 quality supporters than 1500 quantity supporters, if so we wouldn't last long in the Conference.

I was sat exectly on the line (well in the stand but you know what i mean) and the ball didnt cross the line 100% beither time. the ball needs to be completely over for it to be a goal. but the second one WAScleared by the defender's hand

Willie Miller · 09-12-2004, 16:00

Thats good then

Lets see how we get on Saturday - we'll have more away then home fans there, & better flags, & more.........etc ...etc .....

Unfortunately, messers JC & JB (& the players) are the only people that control what happens on the pitch. As a supporter I can only have an influence OFF the pitch. We will do that to the best of our ability & it will increase the amount of people that attend. If the atmosphere is good - win, lose or draw - we will gain new fans.....

Loyal & regular support is something that doesn't happen overnight but we are heading in the right direction.

I'll repeat "I can't influence anything on the pitch but can do my level best OFF it!"

This isn't a dig Jeff, nut what do you intend to achieve by negativity on this forum. Any potential fans will be put off if they hear all the doom & gloom when we are 7 points off second place.

On Stanley On

Jase, FGR was my first match for a few weeks. The flags and the noise from the Stanley fans was fantastic. You're doing a great job. Keep it up, mate.

Don't really understand what you mean by "nut what do you intend to achieve"

I don't intend to achieve anything, I am just putting my opinion and being REALISTIC. I am not being negative or spreading doom and gloom I am stating the obvious. OK we are eight points off second place - but we have played two more games than Carlisle. Carlisle have lost two games, we have lost eight games. We have only picked up eight points from the last eight games - hardly promotion or play off form. Hopefully we may get better results now that Rory is back. You can have as many flags as you want and make as much noise as you want but the crowd will only increase when we have a winning team. People will follow a winning team. I think you are doing a brilliant job with the flags and drums - keep up the good work but as far as current form is concerned we have to be realistic. Let's hope that we aren't let down on Saturday at Leigh and that we do to them what we should have done to them in the FA Cup - give them a good hammering.

Perhaps the substitution of the word 'but' with the word 'nut', was a Freudian slip?

I certainly hope that it was because I wouldn't like to think that he meant nut, please explain yourself Mr. Willie Miller.

Willie Miller · 10-12-2004, 15:50

nut equates to but............

only when I type it could be "tut" "fut" or "lut" depending on how late I am for my next appointmentt

Regards

Do you get what I am saying though, all a supporter can do is support.the rest is in the lap of the gods, the refs, the weather, the players, chairman etc etc. I'd just hate to see this messageboard if we were in a relegation fight thats all, no offence mate & your input is obviously very welcome, as is mine with my misspelt wordes..............
