I was there and if Bagpuss is feeling very positive then I'm either ill or the meeting went very well, I don't know if I'm allowed to post any details so I'm sorry about that but I liked what I heard and the future is looking ok if ideas made tonight are allowed to happen.

Re: Speaking up for Mr Eric Whalley

Jeepers if thats what you call speaking up for a bloke I wouldn't like you to slag me off.

I'd like to call it a thin disguised attack but I've seen better disguises in a Carry on Film. The quality of man that comes on a public forum and use phrases like lining pockets without evidence is a very poor man indeed.

I'm in doubt that EW has put plenty of his own money in over the years and if he got half back he would be delighted.

It is very very very easy to have a pop from outside and even easier when its not your money.

PS
Anyone else fail to spot a line of people outside the Crown Ground waiting to buy EWs shares? No - I didn't think so as there are not many around daft enough to prop up an ailing football club that not enough people are ineterested in.

If the club was in credit there would be buyers but it's in debt so then you have ask why it's ailing?

Re: Speaking up for Mr Eric Whalley

If we look at the club's situation in harsh light of day it isn't a pretty picture, there is no room to expand, no room to grow the facilities and the ground is in the wrong place anyway. The ticket prices are extortionate for the poor facilities available, you can watch premiership football for less. We have a very restricted budget and most of our quality players are gone. Anyone who wants to rescue the club is doing it for the best intentions, there is no way anyone is gonna make a profit out of it in the foreseeable future. Ilyas is our very best option.

Thanks Baggy, I’m told that the three gentleman who were interviewed by the BBC tonight where indeed qualified to speak of tonight meeting, in view of that and another respected gentleman who spoke to me earlier does lead me to believe that you are not indeed ill, in fact I'd say your looking quite well….

I look forward to Mr. Khan posting and should the opportunity arise contributing to the Fighting Fund. I understand the future bright, the futures RED…..

Just got back from meeting (145 miles after work).

The idea is that a support company controlled by supporters have the means to ensure significant investment into the club

And to meet you as well.

This evening was one of those occasions that is worth all the trouble of attending even from here because it will always stick in the memory.

We had Ilyas to meet.

Back in 1962 they only had Bob Lord.

For those of us who use this forum regularly,and for those of us who attended the meeting this evening, the reason that OUR club is 'ailing' has ****** all to do with the credit crunch

Sorry mate, but Im with Doug on this one...............bedtime

Liverpool and Man Utd if you are using LFC as an example are ailing due to interest payments for money borrowed when they were taken over by new owners (both clubs actually made a profit without this borrowing debt), Stanley didn't borrow any cash so if you look elsewhere you will find the credit crunch is not the main reason why Stanley are ailiing (don't like that word).

Nice posts Doug and Pete

Re: Speaking up for Mr Eric Whalley

So the loss of Fraser Eagle and crowd numbers down in their hundreds is not due to the credit crunch?

PS

Stunning response Doug - you should have been an MP with those debating skills.

Re: Speaking up for Mr Eric Whalley

Liddle Ole was not meant as a put down more to make the point than many bigger clubs than Accrington have found themselves in a bigger mess.

Running a league club on such low gates and the loss of a major sponsor is nothing short of a minor miracle. To lay the blame at the one bloke who has put his hand up and invested his time and money is well out of order.

Be careful in what you wish for in case you just might get it.

You're spot on widnes viking. There are some real idiots on here and it's just another nail in the coffin as far as I'm concerned.
