You're right Oggy, I was talking to a lady today (so sorry but I don't know everyone's names yet) and I asked her why she was a Stanley fan - she said, 'because I've always been one', but that's not the real reason - and it's the real reason that we're trying to get to. Everyone has a story.

People have a great passion for the club but we want to know what it was that created that passion. Was it a family tradition? What was the first match you went to? Did Stanley win? Did you used to walk to the match or catch the bus? Do you remember any key games? Did you choose your kids names after a player? All these stories seem really trivial but these are the ones we're aiming for!

There was a picture in the exhibition today of someone getting married on a football pitch. I pointed it out to a few people. It's that kind of thing we need to look for. No matter how trivial your story may appear to you, it will strike a chord with other people.
