Not sure, littlemo.

There is a worldwide football programme called "Football Mondial". That featured Stanley's promotion run-in last season, and someone told me their relatives had seen it on one of the US stations.

I see that over 200 replica shirts were sold in the first couple of days they went on sale. The manufacturers are working round the clock to meet the demand.

Every one of those shirts will be worn with pride. Every one of them will advertise "Hyndburn Borough Council" in big bold white letters.

And some absolute idiot was moaning in the paper the other day that it is a waste of money by the Council!!!!!

Post Re: Hyndburn BC to sponsor Accrington Stanley

im with you on this one leeeee!
if the money does come from an eu leisure fund there will still be some council busybody (probably several) shuffling paperwork around and looking important,this work for hyndburn bc (very pc that one accrington council would be more to the point) is to promote hbc on a football shirt! why promote hbc are you suddenly going to forget to pay for your local services and nip down to blackburn and start paying blackburn bc instead?
dont forget this eu leisure fund is funded by tax payers ie you and me,and if this fund is aimed at helping/involving kids and accrington stanley fc (a good thing im sure we all agree) how come hbc gets put on the shirt? something is not quite adding up!
anyway before i get off my soapbox i would just like to wish stanley all the best in the new season as my words are in no way aimed at them!

Of course there is an element of self publicising for Hyndburn Council. Linking the name of the borough to its most famous asset is designed to improve the Council's profile nationally. That way, when the REAL paper pushers in Whitehall are sitting down deciding where to allocate funds, grants etc, they won't in future say

"Hyndburn? Where on earth is that!"

From now on it will be

"Hyndburn? Oh yes Accrington! Let's spend our money there!"

And bringing the Council closer to the people who live in the borough will hopefully be beneficial to both sides.

I'm not a Councillor, by the way. It's just that I know a lot about local government.
