We've had over 1,000 people through the doors of the exhibition in the space of two weeks - surely these people are prime for promoting to!

Ooooo don't get me started, although the shirt launch is supposed to be happening at the exhibition, I still have not been given a date!!

it was launched at the Burnley game.

there's still the away shirt I suppose

Gayle · 02-08-2008, 19:13

I thought they were going to launch the strip at the launch of the exhibition. I was also told that they would bring a strip down to the exhibition to include so that we could advertise the new strip. That hasn't happened either.

Its just not good enough, another opportunity to get some bums on seats is going to waste after a lot of very hard work by people NOT being paid by the club. I whinge on about Eric Whalley but his 2nd in command Rob Heys has a lot to answer as well.

A prime example of what is wrong with the club - here is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity which Stanley should have grasped with both hands by putting into action the sort of ideas that Gayle has suggested. Instead, they've let the opportunity slip through their fingers, just as they did when we were promoted to the football league. When will the hierarchy at the club finally get it into their heads that they have to "sell" Stanley to the community far more than they are doing at the moment?

Gayle · 02-08-2008, 21:07

I suppose in all fairness to Rob Heys, he has said many times that if we needed any help we only had to ask and again, in all fairness he has delivered things we asked for.

I think the difference is in spotting the opportunity that it could be turned into.

OK lets turn this thread into "Ask Rob".

1. Why are we still waiting for the new kit, why was it not launched last week before the Burnley game?

My son wanted it for his hols but as there is no sign he now is wearing a brand new Liverpool kit.

whats wrong with last seasons stanley shirt? would he wear it if stanley did not get a new shirt this season or does he only wear brand new kits that come out every year! by clubs that can afford to! we only did it for the sponser

I think you'll find, we change our shirt every year, regardless of sponsor. We have to, because we are a poor club.
We also pay more for our shirt than the majority of other clubs, for the same reason.

Nothing wrong with last seasons shirt, in fact I think its one of the best we've had and I will be wearing it this season as I think the new one looks cheap and nasty more like a t-shirt. Being an ex-Liverpool season ticket holder my son has been wearing Liverpool strips since he was born. I bought him a Stanley shirt 2 years ago which he still wears despite it looking a bit worse for wear and last seasons away kit for Christmas. I have no doubt that had the new shirt been available he would have chose that but he is of an age where his friends are plastic Man Utd supporters and doesn't want to be like that which I think is the right way to think.

I have never taken him to Anfield only the FES so as long as the doesn't choose Man U, Chelsea, Rovers, Burnley or Leeds I will let him decide but he came down dressed this morning in his last years Stanley away top, nuff said.

We've said it before if the stuff is there to buy people will buy it.

Ah!... this is great stuff.. the "more holy than thou" Accy Stan suporters getting all worked up about this seasons "new shirt" and not being able to get season tickets!..seems like only yesterday Wynonie was slagging off Accringtonians that dared venture past Baxenden to support local teams!.. no new shirts and no season tickets lads?... supply and demand eh?....perhaps the great Accrington Stanley have run out of both already this season.
