Miller in plea to Quakers fans

10 December 2009 09:44
DARLINGTON skipper Ian Miller has urged fans to get right behind their team as they attempt to drag themselves off the bottom of the table.[LNB] The Quakers are seven points adrift of second bottom Grimsby Town with only two league wins this season.[LNB] With attendances at the Northern Echo Arena on the slide, the club are offering supporters the chance to buy cut-price Christmas tickets in a bid to boost crowds for home games against Northampton, Lincoln and Port Vale.[LNB] These are three huge games for the club, said Miller. They're against sides all within the bottom nine, so positive results in these games would come as a huge boost to us and having good crowds for them will certainly be a help.[LNB] We realise this is a difficult time for everyone connected to the club, not least the fans, but it would be great to see increased crowds for these key games.[LNB] Quakers fans have nine days to take advantage of the offer for the games against Northampton (December 19), Lincoln (December 28) and Port Vale (January 2).[LNB] The three-game plan gives season ticket holders the chance to buy one ticket for three games for friends or family for just £30, a saving of £24 per person on matchday prices.[LNB] And non-season ticket holders can also make savings, with the three-match ticket available on general sale for £35 each, a saving of £19 on matchday prices, or £30 each if bought in a group of four or more.[LNB] Prices for concessions to purchase the three-game ticket are £20, a saving of £16, while Under-16s can save £19, with the three-game ticket available to them for just a fiver.[LNB] The Christmas Ticket package is available from the ticket office at the Northern Echo Arena or the Cornmill Centre, or call the ticket office on 0871 855 1883.[LNB] Macclesfield chief executive Mike Rance has admitted a ground move is a real possibility'' for the League Two outfit.[LNB] The Moss Rose side are enjoying a 13th season in the Football League and have moved to restructure longterm debts of £1.7m with a share conversion.[LNB] Rance said: Fans will ask me: Let's have a look at a picture of the new stadium.' Well, what we have is a vision.[LNB] It's a real possibility.[LNB] Our preference would be to do that in another site close to the town of Macclesfield.''[LNB]
