Someone comes in to try and improve the club and fans moan and give up at at time very little has changed, only we are not the bookies relegation favourites. The ground is a **** hole and needs improvement, crowds were getting smaller by the season before Holt came in, and the club can't even provide water in the toilets and 'Mr T' thought that was an okay way to treat fans. The improvement are more than welcome and Stanley still need every penny from any source possible.

I assume the plastic industry could be hit thanks to the pound/dollar fall after the brexit
You are right, Stanley are no longer the tinpot club who joined the league, they are just another league two club. That's where people lose interest because there are another 23 of those. If Stanley are successful and move on that's great for the fans but if they don't then how many diehards will be left. As many unknowns as brexit perhaps :-D
