we was getting crowds of 1000 fans every game in the first 15 games of the confernce this year and ever since stanley where winning and became top of the table , more and more glory hunters have come and more younger people, i was stood behind this guy who was asking his mate what game were they at and theres nothing to here , and i laughed when they went is this accrington stanleys ground. and then they went we can meet girls here haha!

[talentedbutslow]

I,ve got a good excuse for not going to Stanley games ......for the last 36 yrs i,ve been in Australia.........

[Diesel]

The best one I seen was some bloke in a Blackburn top telling his mate "If they were playing Liverpool or Arsenal, they'd get stuffed playing as badly as this!"

Duh!!

[fc:stanley]

haha how sad they get , but what my youngens say what they see as chavs , coming to stanley games for like a meeting place , to just mess around , because when grays came , everyone was clapping each other and then a bunch of about 30 youths all trying to start fights!

Glory hunters or not it what pays the wages and we are going to need a lot next year, just be grateful they are coming remember why we went out of the league in the first place, only 2000 at stanleys last home match in 1962.

I don't mind glory hunters, they're more than welcome. It's the ones who wear other clubs tops when they come that wind me up

I was taken to my first Stanley match last Febuary, was hooked by the football, the camaraderie and the atmosphere.

I've been to every home game since, and will forever.

For the last twenty years I've been living away, and worked Saturdays anyway, so I didn't support anyone.

Like Baz said, people through turnstiles pay the wages etc, and long may they continue to click, glory hunters or not.

What the f*** are you explaining for………Once you actively choose to support a club you’re a supporter, more so if you attend games and put your money down and add to the coffers, but that’s not the exclusive domain of being a supporter.

I know there are those that profess that you’re only a true supporter if you attend every game Home and Away and that in part is true, but no one has the right to question the credentials of another Stanley supporter irrespective of how long they’ve been one.

You can be a penniless bare assed kid on the streets of Bacup or Bangalore and still be a supporter of Accrington Stanley; it doesn’t matter as long as your try and be there if it’s at all possible, the more new blood the better…

I have absolute respect for the efforts of the Supporters Club and the Stanley Ultras, particularly Jase and Cammy who rain or shine seem to be doing something positive for the club and the and least of all Kipax for his efforts in bringing the teams and supporters exploits to life in pictures for those who can’t make it to any of the games.

...because he asked.

It did p*ss me off when he said what he posted, without naming the names of the people he accused of being 'glory hunters' on here. I didn't take it personally, but wanted a fuller explanation of what he meant.

All the old guard fans and the Ultras, couldn't be more friendly to newer fans like myself.

We've since made up via pm.

s'cuse me if I put a downer on the celebrations, i've been an "armchair supporter" for years! of course you can still support your team even if you don't go to the games and the more successful the team is the gates go up, but it would be no surprise if next season Accy Stan are sruggling at the foot of the league (playing teams no better than the conference) and the gates are back down.

What are you on about, and why?

Let's get there first. The more of us former and current Armchair supporters we can get through the gate the better things will be.

I don’t believe anyone has any illusions about it being easy at League level and let’s face it; it’s been a long time since we tried. But I have little doubt that those that care enough will do everything humanly possible to sustain our presence and build on it……
