Fully agree with your first sentiment StanleyJosh.
However, I think the initial euphoria of reaching the heights of L1 is already starting to wane, reflected by the slowly falling attendances.
I know many supporters regard this competition as a tin-pot trophy but, let's be honest, this was probably our one & only chance of appearing on the hallowed turf of Wembley.
I don't know what the finalist's receive for reaching Wembley but I do know that half of Accrington would have turned out, not to mention the many exiles who still have affection for their home town team.
We don't follow football to generate income for the club, we follow it because we crave our day in the sun.
Success is the only guarantee of wealth in any sphere, failure the fastest route to penury.
If this bad run continues, watch the income disappear faster than you can say
