Whilst i agree with you as to being a little disappointed in AH over the last couple of months mainly in relation to the silence over the ground/new stand etc but maybe thats down to the opportunity to purchase it lock stock and barrel.
But i never understood the situation regarding the new stand surely if the ground belongs to Hyndburn then it would be down to them to build the new stand and recover the cost with an uplift in rental over the remaining term of the lease [ as is currently happening at Exeter ] but that didnt seem to be the case but if it was it would make the decision to buy seem strange but then again if AH could fund the purchase of the ground and the building of the stand either by using Wham to obtain cheap finance or by them owning it and the club paying them rent the decision would start to make sense.
But just to put you straight Stanley were never in any danger of losing any funding from the PL over what he said on Twitter in fact i.ll lay odds that a few of the clubs still owned in the traditional way will have actually thought good on him its not the clubs who wont support the lower leagues its the PL and the FA its owners who refuse to do that after all if they all chucked in 5m a year from the TV Money none of them would actually lose anything as theyd all still be on the same level field and all that would happen is that theyd all reduce their wage bills by the same amount.
But you cant have it both ways either as you say his comments fell on deaf ears or they took notice and thought what an ungrateful git or my view that a lot of them thought good for him but it definitely cant of been both.
