It can only be a good thing IMO.

Opinion Shakey my friend is what makes the world tick. My opinion is that this advert served a purpose 18 years ago. 12 months ago it was hardy ever uttered now there’s a growing myth that this piece of tat made the Club famous.

Accrington Stanley was made world famous by defeat, indifference and inaptitude that led to a financial disgrace that brought about it resignation from the Football League. Accrington Stanley was also made world famous by the fact that it wouldn’t die. A line up of dreamers and a succession of wishful men with hearts as big as there pockets worked long and hard to keep a dream alive.

After 44 years a handful of those men and a committed team of professionals brought that infamous period of history to an end. Fame this season was won on the pitch, the future of this club will be fought on the pitch. Accrington Stanley doesn’t need an 18 year advert to herald it arrival to the world, the world was already waiting and in my opinion that bloody advert had nothing to do with, unless of course you believe it won the league as well……
