Overreaction creeping in here, in my opinion.
The Stanley decision has some sense to it - we are not a rich club. however I do tend to agree, based on this discussion, that we should accommodate their collections in some way.

People running organisations have to make decisions all the time, they don't always get them right at first. Generally in situations like this sense prevails, compromise is reached etc etc. give it time to see what happens.

What goes around comes around & all that . . . . .
At the end of the day it's up to each individual person if they want to contribute & we shouldn't be subjected to a blanket ban imposed by DB or anyone else

People like that Tory Burgess i have wiped better off the bottom of my shoe.

Being a rich or poor club has hee haw to do with it. For those who don't remember, this was what it was like in our hour of need http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/f...ion-49215.html

That is what real football is about not people like Burgess. Thank god he wasn't running the SoS campaign back then!

It's not as if they are asking for the money from the club is it?

Just read Independent Orient forum, Burgess has just rang and reversed the decision, now the Orient Lads can collect. hope the slimeball apologized.

You're right, we are not a rich club but I don't see what that has to do with anything?
Orient aren't asking the club to contribute to their cause, just permission to ask our fans to help out a little if they want to & that decision should be each person's - it should not be the club deciding for us!
Give it time you say? There isn't much time for the club to do a u-turn with the game being tomorrow night - I really hope they change their mind but even if they don't I wish the Orient fans the best of luck & if I see any of them with even a hint of a bucket I'll be putting my little bit in whether DB likes it or not

Dont make excuses for that piece of crap LordD. If that clown has no idea of what we went through, then he shouldn't be anywhere near Stanley as far as i'm concerned.

Glad about the change of heart. Treat others as you would wish to be treated. I was going to make a special trip to the Crown to donate to the collection.

How much of the SOS campaign money went to pay the tax bill do you think then?
