Re: Accrington Carnival

Although I saw three of the floats pre carnival as I had to drop my lad off as he was on the Accy Stanley float, Got to the field for the afters by 1.30 pm. Got to agree site was a tad dissapointing compared to of old. Can remember site on Accy college & before that at Oak Hill park as a kiddy with allsorts to do along with displays as parachute display, white helmet motorcycle display etc. I know Peel park is not quite as open for this type of thing but tradition does die hard, particularly here in the North.
Worse sight of the day though was some character with a chain round her neck, cajoling stalls to have their picy taken with her, some called her "Mayor?" Funny how she has never been heard of round Clayton where apparently she is a local councillor, & best of all having a pic taken with the Stanley boys, for who she took the liberty of renaging on a sponsorship deal with not so long ago. Know you aint two faced dear coz you wouldn't have worn that one on Sat dear.
