Re: How to increase attendances?

Like JT has said it's the club and the safety officers that ruined the ultras . At the end of the day it's not as easy as the ultras to 'come back' , it's not a boy band! Some lads have gone university , some lads don't come on Stanley anymore , some of the younger ones watch other teams now and some lads play football now on a Saturday! We still try to make an atmosphere home and away with flags or no flags but like I have said , the club ruined the group and it's very hard to revive such support now a lot of lads have dwindled.

Also don't agree with some people complaining about the smoke but applauding the ultras. An ultras group is all about showing passion for your club with colour and noise and this would include with flags , vocals and pyro (smoke). If people didn't have a passion or interest for that kind of thing there wouldn't be a group. But yes the smoke is illegal and the people who let it off know the consequences' and are right to receive it if caught!

Agree with Smudgie about the ground! For me this is the only option to revitalise the club from being a cheap non league walk on club to a club moving with the times and building up a bigger town support! Location is key! But it could backfire!
