Re: Stanley to close within months ...
I think he's saying two different things. Last week he was saying that there's no immediate danger of the club being wound up because of the tax bill. This week he's saying that the club can't survive indefinitely on the size of gates at the moment. They gambled on the season tickets in the hope that it would attract more but it hasn't worked and the early season results haven't helped either. I don't know what was offered in the two year contracts but I hope it wasn't anything silly because unless things change round there are only two ways out.
1. The club does go bust again.
2. Costs have to be cut (possibly by going into administration which I would hate to see because it ends up with small suppliers getting hurt) and Stanley return to a more sustainable level of football (Conference, Conference North, NPL)
Of those two options I know which I prefer and it isn't the first. Ideally I would like to see Stanley as a league club for years to come but if that isn't financially possible let's have a club to support somewhere in the football pyramid.
