And yes, it is selfish. Thankfully the people who have sweated blood for the club over the years, and continue to do so, are a a lot less selfish than you. If they hadn't have been, then we'd be nowhere near where we are now. |
Well said TM. I'm sure I would rather Stanley be in the Football League without a roof than in the Conference with a roof. Progress has been made since Stanley reformed, remember the Crown Ground was basically a field in the beginning. We will probably visit grounds next season where away fans will not have a roof. Things can change dramatically financial wise when in the Football League. Last season Barnet and Carlisle were promoted, this season in their first season in the league, Barnet visited Old Trafford in the Carling Cup and Carlisle were at the Millenium Stadium for the LDV final generating considerable income. Who knows what will happen next season, a good FA Cup run, a good Carling Cup run, etc. We might have generated enough extra income for the roof. We would all like a roof to be there ASAP, but, let's get our priorities right. We have managed without a roof for nearly 40 years - what the rush now? Are we all getting soft or is there a core of new supporters who are not used to braving the elements. Let's stop moaning about the roof, it's not going to happen yet and nothing we say will change that, let's just look forward to playing in the Football League next season and thank all the people who have helped to make this possible, not slag them off for not providing a roof.
