Stanley are a total breath of fresh air. I can't imagine getting bored with them as they are everything I loved about watching Leeds - especially for the first 20 years. Young kids like David Batty breaking through. Loveable old donkeys like John Pearson, has beens like Mickey Thomas. The thrill of promotion, the risk of relegation, the dashed hopes of mid table mediocrity. Arguing with fellow fans who never rated Howard Wilkinson, loving Carlton Palmer who everyone else hated. Weird bond schemes to raise cash.... I never tired of it until Peter Ridsdale decided we'd be a European mega club.
I hope Stanley see me through the next 30 years.

I've been watching football for over 30 years too and Accy for 12 or 13. It is great to start with but after a few years it's the same old teams at the same old grounds time after time and it's worse in Scotland because there are less teams in each league.
I would probably look at it differently if I lived just down the road from the ground but getting up at 7am and not getting home until after midnight takes the shine off it after working all week. I know some people do it and good luck to them but some weeks I just can't be bothered anymore.
