My absence tonight was pure neglect on my part. However, I would like to voice my gratitude to the outgoing board, on the four or five occasions that I got over for the OSC meetings I was always made welcome and was included in the discussions that took place. I need not name any individual I have met through the OSC because each and everyone are included in the aforementioned sentiment. That said one special mention for the assistance and support of Steve Baker. Thanks Steve.

To those whom have taken up responsibility for the future of Accrington Stanley Official Supporters Club. Welcome. I have little doubt that you will all put the Club and the Supporters at the forefront of your efforts and thought. It’s not a new dawn, but the opening of a new chapter for ASFC and the OSC, God speed and may you all be successful in your endeavours.

Incidentally, a new job sees me dragging my arse between Blackpool, Burnley (via Accy) Oldham and soon Bury. This as led to two missed home games and little attention to the OSC. This will change after the mid part of the month when I expect to have settled down and got back to my old self. See you on the 17th.
