To be honest there are SO many reasons why this is the best club in the land..
The ultras and the atmosphere especially away.
Lowieys classic comments to the oppossing team and fans,
The feeling that you are part of the club not just another customer,
The fact you can shake hands with the players and tell them how good they played,
The freedom my kids feel to stand with me, there mates or sit in the stands, all during the same game,
The FOOTBALL which even when it is not fantastic is always 100% commitment from our lads and management,
Coley going ape at the officials,
I started the season as an occasional Stanley fan who would come when Liverpool FC had no game. I had a part share in a season ticket at Anfield which I used at every opportunity. I turned up for the first Stanley game of the season and I haven't looked back since, I have been to every home game and I love it.
Even though I can't class myself as an Ultra I am a Ultra wannabee and even get called one at work where they used to call me scouser.
I love the fans, I love the footy and this year instead of Liverpool stuff in my stocking I've been dropping hints for Stanley goodies.

Standing in front of the white house in Washington DC with my Stanley shirt on and someone asking if they could have thier picture taken with me because of the shirt.
Having my shirt stolen in Bahrain and local cops finding it and asking if they could buy it off me.
Wearing my Stanley shirt at a Brazilian football match and after some coaxing having about 100 Brazilians sing "Come on Stanley, Come on Stanley"
Nice one Bazf, that reminds me of my Bulgarian holiday in summer. Typical holiday first few days said hello but nothing else. Then decide that the pool needs brightening up with a 15ft Accrington Stanley ensign. Cue everyone chatting to us for the rest of the holiday including a mad family from Southern Ireland. Their 11 year olds football mad (they purchased at least 25 foreign football shirts) spent the rest of the holiday asking about ASFC. The highlight being at the pool party when they managed to get this drunk Russian woman to scream "Stanley are the Best!" & "Stanley for the Conference" even though she spoke no English!!!!!
What a night! In the pool fully clothed in my ASFC shirt!
Still look out for Waterford's results because of those nutters!
the welcome feeling at the ground, when i was a shy quiet 12 year old little girl and plum, bubs and loweiy took me under their wing! wouldnt rather be anywhere else than at stanley...
