But, if it seems others are more fickle than Stanley fans, it may be because there are more of them when times are/we’re good.
Stanley’s fans currently are the hard core who have stood by the club through thick and thin. But I suspect, in terms of percentages, those who’d do the same to other clubs are not much different.
Big play off games at the Wham got nearly 5k ‘home’ fans so, with average league gates as they are, you could say 50% of Stanley ‘fans’ are fickle!

Our hardcore has grown since Andy Holt took over and improved facilities and encouraged families with his annual school shirt give away, but after the euphoria of regaining our league status the crowds dwindled and our hardcore was around 1100 in October 2014 culminating in the below 1000 crowd against Hartlepool I was their and it was alarming and financially the club was nosediving, moving on to better times and the new hardcore of about 1700 to 1800 let's hope when we return these figures continue to rise.
