Stanley Fund Raising

We can't keep pulling on the little club card, abusing our history till it means nothing to no one else, in all seriousness other clubs wonder why we are in the league at all! This isn't gonna bring people to the ground, sympathy is being over stretched atm, whilst the world mocks our premature fools joke, there's no professionalism at all in commercial runnings.

Re: Stanley Fund Raising

I really hope, this so called "scheme" is kicked on the head today, before it causes anymore embarrassment.

Hang your heads in shame.

Stanley Fund Raising

In all honesty the team did not beat Yeovil so why are the fans being asked to pay for a non existent match? Also why did the club bank on the money in the 1st place? Another point .. We had some windfall from the fa cup why are we skint already? As why else come up with such a desperate idea?

Re: Stanley Fund Raising

No doubt there is no money Stanleymad, that's quite obvious......

But to see we are still p******g so close to the wind as it where is worrying.

Cup draws have NOT been kind to us in the last 3/4 season's but surely the club can't rely on decent cup draws before the games even happen?? Didnt the club say cup games are NOT budgeted for.... ? So any games we do play are a bonus?

Whatever is going on behind the scenes is not only embarrassing but VERY worrying.

I agree smudgie very worrying, hence my points even though States the obvious answer, also having people who have no experience of running a football club, leaves ammatures to run amock. I seriously can't see the fa allowing this either or Manchester Utd may object - after all they are a money making machine, more expert than Stanley.

Re: Stanley Fund Raising

Hence, their lies the problem in a nutshell.

NON football people running a football club.

If I had my way, I would sack the lot of em, with the exception of buzzer and Will in the Crown.

Complete and utter fools.

Re: Stanley Fund Raising

And furthermore, Peter Marsden should be acutely embarrassed at writing such drivel.

Re: Stanley Fund Raising

I wonder if there's a Official " Could Have Been " Programme + Team sheet as well ............. ?

Despite the fact that I know for a fact people do collect "used" match tickets and occasionally will pay between £3 - £5 for some on E Bay , in all honesty for a match "that never was" I can't see more than half a dozen being sold even at 99p !
