I hear what your trying to suggest but unfrtunately the Council can't stay out of Stanley's affairs. It owns the ground, it licenses the alcohol and it licences the entertainment. The County Council has to give a safety certicficate sofans like yourself are safe. And this particular argument is Eric acusing the Council of not doing enough for club.
It' s hard to see what point your trying to make?

The council owns the ground and surrounding land. Then why are we doing all the work improving it?
From what I can see the Council do nothing, apart from having a civil ceremony to honour the clubs promotion. They should be up here all year round - weedkilling, tree trimming, maintaining the roads and footpaths - don't forget there are 200 - 1200 visiting fans coming every other week.
The council has made a big deal of tarmacing the car park. They should tarmac the car park, all the way around the ground and the aproach road. They own the bloody thing don't they.
In my opinion the council should be falling over themselves to help the club, Accrington Stanley, is the towns biggest asset - it brings awareness, to the borough and income to the town, I also think it can also attract business's to the borough of Hyndburn as a whole. (that's if the council don't scare them off).
The council should be using the name Accrington Stanley, football league club, to sell the borough of Hyndburn to potential investors, and in return help promote the club to the general Hyndburn public.
If you go anywhere in the world, where there are British people, after hearing where you are from they always say Accrington Stanley.
