Thanks for taking the trouble to reply, accymel.
I think that you're referring to your attempts to register with the Members-Only area which used to be on the Supporters' Club website.
You gave us an email address which was unobtainable ; it seemed to be one at your workplace or somewhere similar, although of course that is only a supposition. Whatever the case, I tried repeatedly to contact you on it in order to confirm your desire to register, but with no success.
Because your Membership was bought as a gift we only have the email details of the donor. It is usual to ask the donor (if it's a surprise gift) to ask the recipient to let us have his or her full details after the gift has been presented, and I believe that this happened in the case of your donor.
The (now non-existent) Members-Only area was a great asset to the Supporters Club website, so I was sorry to see it removed by the webmaster without any similar replacement. I am not, nor was I ever, the webmaster for the site . . . I merely wrote the copy for the pages which you can still see on
www.stanleysupporters.co.uk so as to provide information for our Members and prospective Members worldwide.
As the Club knows, the Members-Only area was intended to be the vehicle for Newsletters, publication of Minutes and other areas of interest to Members.
Unfortunately the forum was "hacked" , we were advised, by mischief makers, and it was subsequently removed.
Nevertheless, there has been ample opportunity for dialogue on (as we have recently seen)
www.accringtonweb.com/forum and for any Member to contact me by post, telephone or email - as indeed dozens of Members or prospective Members do every month.
I hope that this information is helpful to you and to others.
