I'm glad that the messageboard/forum is no longer on the official site. It should never have been on there in the first place and I've always said that. This forum is for the fans to discuss all things Accrington Stanley - both good and bad. The official website is for the club to communicate with its fans/customers. Sadly this doesn't always happen, but that's another matter.

For example, the kerfuffle last season with Alty and Robinson - someone DID get the sack for that from the club despite claims on here nobody did - again cant say who on here but all you moaners need to do is ASK things and you will be told as much as they can legally tell you!!!! Simple!

To be fair Jimbo, there was a lot more to that story than you make out, or perhaps were told. It is far from as simple as you make out.
I think that one of the main reasons why people don't approach the club more regularly is that they are not encouraged to do so. The club seems to be more distanced from the everyday fan more today, than it has ever been. To a large extent I can understand this, as it was inevitable when you consider how far we have come and where we now are.
However, the club today presents itself as a largely closed shop in my opinion and I believe that many people don't always believe what they are told anyway. That is something that the club has brought upon itself with the way it has alienated large sections of its support. Half-cocked stories, people at the club talking out of turn, the failure to tell fans a straight story, etc. All these things have made fans sceptical about almost everything they are told. Is it any wonder?
I'm not having a go at you Jimbo, but just making general observations. No doubt some will see this as me having another go, but I still feel that something had to be said.
