Went to my first Stanley game two season's ago and loved it.... it just seemed... hard to explain, more real. Yeah I still follow Blackburn's results but as a fan not a supporter, now I go down to Stanley as a supporter and a fan !!!
So the reason why I bother is because I enjoy the 'real' feeling of watching Stanley play.... the players giving their all for the game, not the pay cheque !!!

Money is also the problem in a much more obvious sense - and not just in the Premiership - when you compare ticket prices around Europe. In the summer, Juventus signed Patrick Vieira from Arsenal and Woking signed Clint Davies, a goalkeeper, from Perth. It costs more to watch the Aussie stop the shots in a Conference game in Surrey than it does to watch the World Cup winning Frenchman at the Stadio delle Alpi. Woking £14 a seat, Juventus £13.80. Explain that.
