What just happened? Did democracy and right of freedom of speech just die in Accrington? Is discussion in the public interest no longer to be tolerated?

I did not agree with the original content of the post that was recently removed, I like others, was concerned about the possible damage to the club’s reputation and the gate. Now I am more concerned that the right to discuss these matters have been removed from the public domain.

What you fail to realise is that the real damage perpetrated by the Observer by running the story “In the Public Interest” in the first place. I expect that the person(s)’ who removed the thread and those who called for it’s removal are now running round like idiots buying up and or, destroying copies of the said observer.

The best possible way of avoiding negative publicity is to not rise to it. Banning the right of others to voice there concerns is not the way forward. What you’ve just asked for and got is nothing more than censorship.
