Re: What if 1962 hadn't happened?

Problem was After 62, accy had no team simple as, at that time they averaged around 3000 gates as i recall, Those people or most of em moved on to watch a game,Blackburn,Burnley in the main, As football is tribal in the main those kids that moved on got wed n took their kids to the game, so generations were lost mainly forever, I reckon if 62 hadn't happened Stanley would still get at least those gates,more when doing well, To me that fact is the main reason fer our gates,We only had league football a few years now, Since then a few have drifted back, But not many,to generalise Malcolm the Mole apart, how many would switch teams they been brought up wi? With the club "NOW" getting on n even keel eventually i think gates will increase, But those who say "Apathetic" people of accy, I think thats a bit OTT. or a poor excuse.
