Yeah, I think there’s summat in that, Dave. Years ago, back in Stanley’s non-league days, I worked with a guy who knew a few semi-pro players from around the North West. He said that they regarded Stanley as a desirable club to play for because it was such a well-known name; telling people you played for Hyde United, Drolysden or Chorley didn’t elicit much reaction, but if you said you played for Accrington Stanley, there was immediate recognition and interest. Reckon similar applies, even in league 2. After all, playing for Barnet, Cheltenham or Stevenage (no offence intended to those clubs – at least not to the first two.
) doesn’t really have the same charisma as playing for the legendary Accrington Stanley.
Same reason that you adopted us as your second club!
