I feel sorry for the (few) fans they've got, but it just doesn't seem that there's enough interest in Accrington to sustain a football league club. Probably due to the number of higher profile clubs in the area.

Title: Accrington Stanley Post by: Arriba on Saturday, September 1, 2007, 08:36:21 a club that fought its way back to league footy deserves better support.
a real shame Title: Accrington Stanley Post by: tans on Saturday, September 1, 2007, 09:38:08 fucking cracking pub before the game last season :beers:
Title: Accrington Stanley Post by: RobertT on Saturday, September 1, 2007, 09:50:10 Can't we buy them?
Accrington has a very small population and is about 2 miles from Burnley so it would be like Bassett trying to sustain a league team here. I hope they survive. They own that pub now, an attempt to make a few extra bob to stay in business.

It's like a suburb of Burnley and then you have Blackburn 10 minutes up the road. Title: Accrington Stanley Post by: lebowski on Saturday, September 1, 2007, 10:59:30 :(
i've got them to go down in my accumulator. i hope they make it to the end of the season at least. Title: Accrington Stanley Post by: yeo on Saturday, September 1, 2007, 11:06:38 One of their fans said on the radio that a Blackburn season ticket is cheaper than an Accie one,that might have something to do with it.

Really? No wonder then!!! Title: Accrington Stanley Post by: yeo on Saturday, September 1, 2007, 11:11:30 I dont think its a case of Accie ripping off the fans though,more that when you have such a small fanbase you have to higher prices to stay alive.Plus in their dead years and nonleague years they lost two generations of supporters to other local clubs.
Title: Accrington Stanley Post by: Give us an S on Saturday, September 1, 2007, 11:15:21 Totally agree. It must be impossible for a club like that to ever generate a fan base with so many bigger clubs just on their doorstep.
Will be a shame if they do go bust. Title: Accrington Stanley Post by: lebowski on Saturday, September 1, 2007, 11:16:59 i read somewhere that last season the average salary in their squad was £28,500 a year, which is very low for professional football.
