If Stanley had still been non-league I reckon it would have been a higher gate, the lower down the leagues you are then the magic of the cup in the 2nd Rd proper still has it. Harrogate were a good example of that .
As an established League side it's not the same romance unless you pull a plum in the 3rd round or beyond.
Then you can factor in the economics, all pay which means even some of your season ticket holders will opt out.
