I could not agree more about your comnent regarding the town, the club has raised the towns profile no end.
And it would appear the town has done nothing in return to help the club and to maximise the opportunityhaving a football league club gives the town.

Most people have never heard of hydburn and couldnt tell you where Accrington is on a map. But you ask the average Joe to name something Accrington is famous for, I bet Stanley would be named in 9/10 responses.

I've found myself on the edge of negativity questioning the players fight and belief and Leams ability to reinstate that 'belief' into the team. Weve never had a world beating team, and we cant expect that but what we do have is the will to fight for what worked so hard to achieve...FOOTBALL LEAGUE STATUS.

Without doubt we are in a relegation battle now but for christ sake lets think positive.

Lets concentrate on Accrington Stanley getting the points and what goes hand in hand with that is FAITH, BELIEF... BLOODY GRIT not just from those 11lads on the pitch, but the thousand or so Stanley fans in the stands. If you wanna boo OUR team off or sing for the managers head dont bother turning up. We need togetherness not division (Your opinions are valid in terms of stats)

THE HARDER THE CONFLICT THE MORE GLORIOUS THE TRIUMPH

Because I haven't.

Sorry for having an opinion on what is best for the club.

The fact of the matter is people (dave007) have every right to question a managers ability when we sit just 1point above relegation and have the one of, if not the worse form in the league.

However, I really cant see how calling for his head will help in this situation. OUR club needs support, it needs us all to pull togethe. We then have to put our trust in Leam and the players to fight for OUR survival.

As they did long before the club got back in the football league. Accrington Stanley isn't famous for getting back in the league.

Suppose the other thing Accrington is famous for is Tiffany glass and the Market Hall being voted the best in Britain. Oh and by the way it is Hyndburn and how many people call it that, that is the title of the Borough not the district of Accrington. Hyndburn is an all encompassing title for the townships of Accrington, Church and Oswaldtwistle, Huncoat, Clayton-le-Moors, Great Harwood, Baxenden, Altham etc etc

ozzy,
Accrington is famous for its football club, nothing else.

And still will be whatever happens. I've been away from Accy now for 35 years living in various places but the first thing that people have always said when I've told them where I come from has been Accrington Stanley. Its a nationwide brand! I don't want to see us go down but as long as there's a club to support I'll be happy rather than going back to the dark days of the 1960's. For what it's worth, I know I complained they were too negative at Plymouth but until the injuries Lindfield was skinning their left back and we should have had three points. Relegation isn't a foregone conclusion so get behind the manager and the team.

Accrington is also famous for the Accrington Pals. I am not going of thread but Dav007 needs to know some history.

Would ' an ostrich' in this instance happen to be a euphemism for 'a gadgy', which was your previously stated if ill-chosen definition of this fellow Forum user ?.
I happen to disagree with most of his opinions, which like everyone else he has a right to air, and which are I feel at times stated to wind the more conservative- minded amongst us well and truly up !... but would hopefully draw the line at using criticisms which are merely name-calling and suggestive of a flaw in another's character and behaviour... ( a simple and easy tack to take when someone has nothing more informative to say !) .
It could well be that he (or she ?) is an extremely sensitive person to whom the careless jibe could be emotionally injurious... and, worse still, might entrench his anti-Leam opinions to a degree which would cause the most mild-mannered amongst us to join in his vilification !!... Revived Red !.....I haven't strayed from the cause..honest !.
