common sense is that all lower league sides with near neighbours who have always been more successful have a problem with attendances and stanleys case of 40 odd years without a league club helps even less. you tend to go with youre old man firstly and you are usually hooked before you enter your teens and go with youre mates. it needs another 20 years or so to get genarations hooked on Stanley like the reason stockport get 3000 to watch utter garbage.
