No one's suggesting we should adopt this attitude.
I've been successful in convincing a friend to join me every home game who, in turn, occasionally brings members of his own family.
Does it make any difference to our overall gate - not one iota!
My point is the honeymoon period following Stanley's return to the football league has become a faded memory for most people.
Every season, with the exception of the last, has become largely a matter of survival.
As others have pointed out, Stanley have been reduced to their core support, which barely fluctuates.
The only time gates are increased is when we get the teams with a bigger away following, or the odd FA Cup game.
Only success on the field will make any difference to attendances (I only used non-league Lincoln to illustrate the point)
All this gnashing of teeth about our poor gates should be reserved for scoffing said peppered steak pie.
