WELL, it's official. Accrington Stanley are the most attractive and value for money team in the entire British professional game.

If goals are the yardstick for attracting fans, and also the object of the game, then the statistics speak for themselves.

Accrington have scored 69 league goals and conceded 78, a total of 147 goals at an average of 3.26 goals per game.

No other professional club in Britain can equal this, not even Manchester United.

Roll on next season and turn up equipped with calculators. If we could only score a few more and concede a few less.
