For all their faults, I admire the town of Burnleys siege mentality. Us against the world and the football club as a symbol of that. The club is the one thing around which everything revolves. Accrington just doesn't have that. There's no pride in the town...never mind the football team.
Point in case being the Calder pub in Accy centre erupting when Stevenage bagged against us in the play offs.
I don't know what the answer is. All we can do is keep winning and make match day a better experience facilty wise, to take away the excuses the Accy public frequently cite for not coming.

Not sure accy aint a football town Alvin? with reasonably bigger clubs 5 miles either side is what makes a big difference to me. we were averaging 3000 in 62, that as we all know caused lost generations.
