I agree. There's is not much that is going to change in the thread. People are
RIGHT to get uptight about critcism of the club and they are right to have a pop. It's a free country, we have free speech.
If the truth comes out it will all turn on it's head, so I am not concerned. I have yet to meet anyone aware of all the facts who does not share a similar view to me. One or two who have become aware now have a completely different perspective. And they are comfortable that I am in difficult circumstances taking the moral highground.
Peter is right, Eric is wrong. Eric started the dirty politics period, Eric can end it with an apology and an acceptance of the Freedoom of the Borough and stop playing politics in other matters. I am using freedom of speech to back Peter. I'll just have to tough the criticism out.
On the point of Accringtonianism and directly related to this matter I would say this; Seeing as my great grandad, whom I knew and loved, was on the Somme carrying off dead and injuried bodies, and my Aunts father was gassed at Ypres, I was disgusted with Eric and see it as a personal insult on my family and this town the way he turned down the Freedom of the Borough the way he did. More than anything else, Eric's insult on this was just too much.
I think there needs to be further developments before posting again.
