Just got back after 10 days in Chicago, during which time I avoided internet cafes and English newspapers, as results which have not gone our way have tended to send me into a holiday sulk in the past - something that never goes down well with Mrs H. When I arrived this morning, I looked at the table and was immediately on cloud nine. Not for long though, as I viewed Eric's statement on the fishy site and the gates for the last two matches.

Sod the admission price, sod the roof, sod the drum, at the moment we are the best non-league club in the country with seven straight wins under our belt AND GATES ARE GOING DOWN??

Does anyone realise how heartbreaking this must be for Eric, Coley and the rest? All the blood, sweat and tears that have gone into the club and now gates fall weeks after week, as we rack up win after win. Would this be happening in any other town in the country?

Jeff is right on the money. Accringtonians like to namecheck Stanley, but actually go and watch them? They'll go to Turf Moor, Ewood, the Castle, the Broadway, Asda, their living rooms, anywhere, in fact, but the IES.

How much longer before the public of Accrington and district wake up to their hometown club?
