Today there are real issues on matchdays and not just with the noise. Issues to do with policing, parking, public safety, etc.

I believe it essential that the club works with the local residents, which of course they are doing.

I agree Tin Monkey, except it has always been a known fact that Accrington Stanley will move forward. Eric said on numerous occasions that we will be back in the Football League within 5 years - and we are. The FES, IES or whatever has always been a football ground of some sort, Stanley have been there since the 60's, Eric since the 90's - it's always been clear that we are gonna push forward, develop the ground, win promotion etc. The residents have known this, maybe they didnt think that would ever happen, but now it has they should not be trying to hold us back. Sorry - rant over...
