15,000 copies of the Observer are in circulation, it’s beyond any control that can be administered on this site. And that’s what’s absurd about this issue.

Damage limitation is a matter for the club and they know what they doing, if the chap hadn’t wrote the letter in the first place this issue would have been dealt with in a proper manner without fan’s declaring abstention.

My post wasn’t about this unfortunate incident; it was about the freedom to express concern without prejudice. It would have been enough to close the thread and leave at that. The issue had already been discussed in a more damaging manner in another thread that no had objected too or requested closure on.

I would be grateful if people didn’t try and hi-jack this post too highlight the former issue. This is about all those areas were the few influence decisions that we’re all old enough to hold an opinion on.

Just a point of note, I was a Stanley fan back in the dark old days, just because I’ve recently re-declared my support doesn’t mean I’m not concerned about the club the same as everyone else.
