The argument thrown by the council with regards the football makes me laugh. Does that mean that Haringey should be renamed Tottenham and boroughs? Or should Croydon be renamed Crystal Palace?
It doesn't carry any weight it's about geography, unless you live near there who knows where Three Valleys council is? and honestly, who cares? certainly not the folk who live there. If they publicised Hyndburn properly and spent as much on positives about it as they do trying to spin that Accrington is so much better then maybe things would be happening and the waste of our money so that the Dobson, Britcliffe et al can feel so much more smug wouldn't be required
No I don't say I come from Hyndburn, (never did when I lived in London) neither will I say I come from Accrington and district, I come from Great Harwood, and I don't want to live in Accrington and District, a name that in a few months will be shortened to Accrington, and then all the individual town names will be undermined. It will not make Church, Ossie, Harwood, or Clayton more recognised.
