Why I don't go to watch Stanley play.
 

There is a rip-roaring debate going on at the moment in the Stanley part of the site on the percieved lack of local people turning up to watch the team play, certainly at the home games. Purely as a polling exercise, therefore, this is an attempt to find out the reasons why. If you are an Ultra or a regular Stanley fan - go away. You are the converted; this thread is not for you. However, if you are a passive Stanley fan..or if you have no interest in footy whatsoever,then this may be for you.

Errr...moderators...can we make this a sticky? (The case being that this institution is the one that makes Accy most famous and there is a possible perceived lack of interest)

Cheers

An exciting time or 5.714 pints of ale in the Stag in 90 minutes? You'd be on your back.:eek:

I'm a only a little dot, everyone towers above me but at Stanley you can see the ball standing or sitting I promise and the atmosphere is really good .... if you have an interest in football ..... even a slight one give Stanley a try, don't let one bad experience put you off :)

Stanley have very kindly donated two tickets for a match as a raffle prize for the VE/VJ celebratory party. Do you think it would be considered a fix if I won the raffle? lol

I've never been to a Stanley game as I am a Rovers supporter but I do always check out the Stanley result on match days. I should come and visit the ground some time.
