[Lord Stiffupperlip]

It's a sad fact that, in today's media obsessed world, nothing breeds success like success.
People want to be associated with winners, hence last seasons sudden surge in attendances when Stanley looked like they might actually get promoted.
Unfortunately, armchair fans loathe mediocrity and will only return if they think they can identify themselves as 'winners'.
If Stanley manage to get into the FA Cup 3rd round & draw say Man U at home, watch all the 'lifelong' Stanley fans come crawling out the woodwork.
