Look at Stockport now. No thanks.

Right on the money. You NEVER EVER give up your precious Football League status voluntarily. If we end the season in one of the bottom two places (which I don't think we will), then fair, enough, we've no choice in the matter. But to suggest that we just play out the season, then make some sort of quiet, dignified voluntary exit from the league is sheer defeatism.
We voluntarily resigned from the league on March 6th, 1962 and the very next day we were regretting it and trying to rescind our resignation...and we carried on regretting it for 44 years! And now some people are suggesting that we make this same mistake all over again.
Look, this is Accrington Stanley, financial crises have been a fact of life for us since Accrington FC started up in the late 19th Century. We're struggling, we'll probably always struggle, but just to give up and meekly accept our place as a Conference North club? Nah..that's not our way!
Passion overcomes logic!
