Given that Stanley have probably been using generic kits in the past as they are cheaper as stated and that we used the generic red one and white one last season it isn't hard to see why we have the red and white stripes this season.
It would be great if we could have shirts more in-keeping with our traditional red but we don't have the bulk buying power to fund it nor the major exposure of the big clubs to sell it on a big scale so we are stuck with what we have.
I would doubt that playing in stripes would be high in the list of reasons for not watching Stanley given the many other reasons people put forward such as prices, the state of the ground, the style of play, tv, bigger clubs nearby etc.
As for Hyndburn Mitre United, even Davo hasn't came up with anything as daft as that. I'd like to say that we should be grateful to have a league team in Accy but that might make me a board sycophant
.
I'm sure Dave is doing the best he can with limited resources and probably for little reward so I for one am grateful given he isn't even a dyed in the wool Stanley fan.
