wristbands

[maccawozzagod]

a potential way of raising some money would be purchasing a wristband (SAVE ACCY STANLEY) I've just looked into costs though and it would cost us £555 + vat (+ £70 for 7 day delivery rather than 28 day) for 3000 or 24p each if you prefer. They'd sell for a minimum of a £1 though and we could perhaps sell them to retailers in the town at that price and allow them to sell at £1.50. Could be a decent hit?

I think that many people would buy these....even those who do not go to matches.
A good idea!

At a quid most people would pick one up for the cause

I'm not a Stanley fan (sorry, not a football supporter) but would buy a couple of these. Think that they are an excellent way of raising money for the club. You could even put them on ebay at say £1.50 or £2 each inc p&p with all proceeds going to the club, am sure they would sell a few on there aswell.

like it Macca, gets my vote!

 

[redshaker11]

I'd possibly buy one!

 

[MCR ADIM]

gets my vote mate but what about accrington instead of accy! but either way i'd buy a few of em

 

[madkev]

Good idea that

 

[Bagpuss]

Yep go for it.

 

[Wynonie Harris]

I'd buy a few. The fact that a number of non-football and/or non-Stanley fans have said they will is encouraging!

 

[BERNADETTE]

I would buy a few of these

 

[maccawozzagod]

hmm - just need £700 now!

we'll see what the OSC has in the kitty

 

[cashman]

think its worth a punt rob.

 

[MCR ADIM]

Best ways to sell them would be Ebay and Club shop. Because if you go up to club shop and buy one you might see something else you want to buy thus giving more money to the club!

too long in the tooth to know exactly what a wristband is (tennis player's swet mopperupper ?) - whatever, my point is I would prefer the word 'forever' to follow AS rather than 'save' in front on the actual band - no lasting evidence of the begging bowl motive. Just a thought.

 

[MCR ADIM]

They are like the yellow Livestrong ones
Livestrong wristband

but they will proberly be in red
SAVE ACCY STANLEY
SAVE ACCRINGTON STANLEY
FOREVER ACCRINGTN STANLEY

That ones lost on me. People can buy them anywhere for a £1 except for the shops in Accrington who will need to buy them to resell at £1.50

In Dragon Den's style I would have to say 'I'm Out'

 

[maccawozzagod]

i was thinking out loud Dave and didn't use grammar reet.

We'd have to set a price of x but anyone wanting to buy say 25 would get them cheaper. They could donate any profit back if they wanted or its theirs for their trouble.

We would sell far more if we could get them on every counter in town.

 

[shakermaker]

Crackin' idea.

If you are going to embark upon this, then you need to spread the wares as far as possible....have them available in pubs, local paper shops, post offices......the more accessible they are, the more people will buy them.....please don't limit them to the Accrington Stanley shop.....many people who have little interest in football, but who would buy these to ensure ASFC doesn't go under, would not go to the shop to buy them, but would buy them from their local paper shop/post office/pub.

I have no interest in football, but would buy some of these as a sign of solidarity.
