Re: Invasion

i dont think i need to carry on what others have said do you kimberly?

We are a small club in a big league yes we have problems, at least there not the problems that teams like boston and mansfeild have who arent worried about how big their club shop is, just worrying whether they will still have a club next season......you fancy swapping boots with them????

The progression on the pitch has been huge, the progression behind the scenes has been steady. Rome wasent built in a day!

Re: Invasion

Although I don't agree with everything KC has to say, they do have a perfect right to express their frustration. I know where they are coming from, because I have never felt as frustrated with the club as I do at the moment.

All too often people express their views on here and are shot down by the same old responses. What a boring place it would be if that stopped people from expressing their true feelings.

Re: Invasion

All true TM but I reckon Kimberley-Clark's still on one because Mangy isn't in the starting line-up - that's all he usually bangs on about. Also, I believe KC is a relatively new supporter, and so has not seen how much we have progressed from a few years ago with regards to the club shop etc. Progress may be slow but it is happening

Re: Invasion

Kimberley Clarke....I find your impatience astounding. I am speechless.Your points may well be valid,but the tone of your post portrays a type who "Wants,wants wants,moans,moans,moans and would never be happy even if all your bleetings were met.Accept the fact others have pointed out in that Accy has done remarkably well in the progress stakes and are walking before running.

Re: Invasion

Expressing your points is one thing, but like AccyMad says, we are a smll team in a big league...

The progression made by Stanley in the ast few seasons is immense IMHO. Just because we have got promoted into the official league doesnt mean drastic action needs taking, if we can survive in the league without a massive stadium and fancy looking bars & stores then I personally couldn't care less.

What would you rather have, a Stanley League 2 team, or alot of glamour?

Well b*gger me, I'd hate to read a post where you are slagging off the club!

"Stanley fans" being so down on our own club are embarrasing me. I bet the bored Hereford fans are having a right old chuckle at this crap.

I'll be honest, I wasn't born in Accy and I've only been going to Stanley for about five years but I hope I never become that cynical.

Re: Invasion

OK so KC likes to use the word "crap" to describe the state of Accrington Stanley. There is a simple solution if you are so disenchanted... support another football club. The true supporters stick with the club through thick and thin and try to find positives to move forward. Eric Whalley would love to have a stadium and all the facilities of clubs like Bury, but he does not want to run the club into financial difficulties. Better a Football club that can grow steadily rather than a supernova that shines brightly for a short time then disappears. Just my opinion, and like KC we all have opinions

Re: Invasion

Sorry, but I thought Kimberly-Clark was a paper mill in Barrow, and you can't get crapper than that (no pun intended).

Yes Oggy, it is.

Interesting choice of online name.
A bit like me calling myself "Nori"
Just pondering...
