What a load of cobblers. If I or any other Stanley fan wanted to watch premiership football, it'd be easy enough for us to go and watch it - after all there are plenty of premiership clubs around the North West. When will the likes of you and Mancie get it into your heads that not all of us want to watch football in the homogenised, artificial atmosphere that characterizes the present-day premiership? Perhaps, Jaysay, you might care to reflect on why a mutual friend of ours very rarely goes to Ewood now, but is there and loving it at every Stanley home match![/quote]
The only thing I'm saying is if the product was so good, why aren't the gates closed every match, why is it that lots of local people prefer to carry on watching other teams who play in higher divisions rather than Stanley, its a matter of taste, I would never decry anybody going to watch Stanley or for that matter Ossy St Mary's over the White Ash on a Saturday, so really I don't take kindly to constantly hearing my team slagged of because they play in one of the best leagues in the world, and yes if I was fit I'd probably join cashy and yourself on the Clayton end for an odd match or two, but at least I get the next best thing and am able to watch MY team on TV occasionally, something which would rarely be afforded to me if I was a full blown Stanley Fan. Like most people I know who live around here and support the likes of Rovers Burnley, United, Liverpool etc treat Stanley as their second team, and also remember that in their time of need some of us even dug deep in our own pockets to support Stanley's fight with the taxman and would probably do it again
