So why do the so-called normal people of Accrington largely ignore them, preferring to watch cossetted, overpaid "superstars" playing for Man U and the like on Sky Sports? And before you say, "because they haven't won this season", this abject apathy has been going on ever since we got back in the league, even during the play-off season!
The problem is Wyn, that two generations missed out on league football in Accrington, those generations watch other clubs, Rovers Burnley United Liverpool etc and they brought their kids up doing the same and so it goes on, and will carry on that way as very few people are interested in watching their home town club which is highlighted by the gates, when gates increase there's a chance until that happens, its kind of a catch 22 position
