As a Stanley fan I would not go anywhere else, but as a business model we have to ask a different question. It's all well and good asking why people DON'T attend home games, but the question is 'Why should they?'

The club are trying to attract the floating football fans who could go anywhere, so what do they get at AS. 1970s facilities, broken seats and disgusting toilets with no loo roll.

Against Torquay a few years ago the ground was packed with fans who had attended free of charge. That was a great opportunity to show the benefits of the club - but they didn't return, why?

2 years ago, I invited 8 friends to attend a home game, and none would come back unless the facilities were improved.

If the board ask themselves why people would want to attend home games, the answer is right there IMHO.
