the reason I said I would stay away is simple. The reason I go to football is to stand up, puff out my chest and tell the world I come from Accrington. Football is a vehicle for this purpose and it goes back to tribal instincts I reckon! I love the atmosphere behind the goals. 30 lads (& lasses sometimes) jumping around about and being as loud and passionate as todays pansy PC world allows. Sitting down does not allow this or at least takes away about 50% of the atmosphere. I could go to the cow shed and stand up if the Clayton End ever became seated but then I would lose the 'behind the goal' atmosphere and Oggy would get irate at the linesman baiting duties we would take off him!

I could have watched Burnley or Blackburn as a kid but liked Stanley as they were my home town team and I am stuck with them whether times are good or bad, but I would not pay my money to stand in an area I don't want to be in and lacking the atmosphere I crave. The Clayton End is as vibrant a terrace as any other of a similar populace, the Stanley Ultras have as good a reputation or better than any other of even or larger numbers. IF the club were to take that away then IMHO they would have done so with absolutely no regard for their fans. It is fine to think of all alternatives for the seated areas but, and only if, that particular scenario ever happened then I would not sit there and would not stand on the sides. So unless I was playing or stood with the away fans I would be at home listening to Dan 'n' Kaz
