You're preaching to the converted on here Chris & the one thing I agree with you on is that the Stanley name (please don't call it a brand) could be marketed better if we had more resources - bit of a chicken & the egg situation - but I think that all who work for the club, paid & volunteers alike do a damn good job most of the time given our limited finances

two things we need next season is a decent start to the season and a good cup run. the johnstons paint trophy seems to be of secondary importance to us but even Accrington area football fans would be excited by a Wembley visit. I know most would not come back but if we kept say 200 regulars it would be massive for us. if we have to play catch up again in the league its not easy to get people out of the house on a cold wet Friday night or Saturday afternoon but supporting a team is habbit forming and I can understand why people don't turn up.
