Stanley didn't exist between 1962 and 1969, so there is a void of 7 years. Myself being born in 1963 followed my big brother to watch Rovers, although i went to Stanley home games in the mid 70's when Rovers were playing away. Stanley were never going to replace my Rovers, even when they got back into the football league. Many people stay away from Stanley because of the prices, when they were non-league crowds were bigger than they are now. I've been going to football since 1971, most people sit at home and watch football on tv and they consider themselves football fans. that seems to be coming the norm. Even Man Utd have to advertise the Ajax game on radio to try and to fill their ground.
