Some good balanced views there, very good.

I think the point some of you are missing though is, as pointed out in the original post, that I and others you are trying to appeal to are not Stanley hardcore.

When you say results/players shouldn't matter you are being naive in the extreme. Likewise comparing Stanley to Alton Towers.

As a fan of another club and not being a charitable trust I expect some entertaining for my 12 spondoolies. To be fair, I think Alton Towers would be way more fun but thats not the point.

The reason I come on Stanley is to support the team and the club.

Personally I have become demoralised though.

The cup run should have resulted in the club really 'kicking on' and giving it a real go for the league. Signing some players of proven quality at conference level or higher.

It didn't though.

Either the money has gone into some prudent rainy day plan, which doesn't tempt me to part with my money anymore, OR it is simply filling a black hole in a business plan.

Either way, it doesn't look good.

Compound that with selling your two best players over the summer and apathy amongst people like me couldn't be any worse.

Someone says Roberts is as good as Rory, I couldn't comment on that ive not seen enough of him. The point is though he should be complimenting Rory, not replacing him. One step forwards two steps back.

Likewise, the clayton end roof.

The roof doesn't matter, its the principal.

How long has that been going on, what is going on??

I dont really care anymore its a joke, a farce.

This sort of debacle is costing the club its credibility.

For me what is needed now is a player who will make back page news in the local rags to get people back interested. Its a basic concept but one that works.

Be it a 'big name' old pro or a real 'current' talent.

Speaking of which, I am happy to see Pawel Abbott doing so well for Huddersfield at the moment.

I was on Stanley a few years ago for a friendly against Preston and I picked this lad out as one to watch. Glad to see he's making his mark.

If we could unearth someone like him or Grant holt at Rochdale, players with the CLASS to make it at a higher level, I think it would get people creaming again.
