Miller in plea to Quakers fans
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]
