I am a little surprised that people seem to have got into a comfort zone and are happy to accept our lot. I do live in the real world, with a club brand as strong as Stanley we should market it better. There is a lot we can do via the supporters club. None of us should be happy at having the lowest gates in the league.

I think you misunderstood, when I said punching above our weight I meant financially not footballing wise. As Cashy has said, no-one could be happy with our gates & yes if we had a good cup run or a fantastic run in the league we probably would have a few more through the gate but, as has happened in the past, once the run is over how many would come back & stick with the team through thick & thin.
You're preaching to the converted on here Chris & the one thing I agree with you on is that the Stanley name (please don't call it a brand) could be marketed better if we had more resources - bit of a chicken & the egg situation - but I think that all who work for the club, paid & volunteers alike do a damn good job most of the time given our limited finances
