:engsmil: Am born and bred in Accy and proud of my Home Town and the fact is that when I worked on the buses they stood out from any others and called Hyndburn Brough Transport (HBT) [prior to the farse of "privatatision"] was the only bus company to use the Blue and Red colours in the way that they did.

Many a time when driving around on Private Hires, Day Trips etc I would spot bus-spotters taking pictures and noting the fleet number and reg of the vehicles.

If only we had something like that again for the town/brough to be proud of maybe that would help to instill a feeling of town pride.

I to hope that ASFC do well this season as it may help to get people proud of their own town (and I incl ex-pats) and feel better within themselves.

That may well lead to some more people doing things to help show the town off or even help in some small way in cleaning, reporting or helping some of the local VAS (Voulantry Aid Societies) that need new and willing members and I don't just mean St John Ambulance but what about "The Lions, Rotact etc" :engsmil:
