Interestingly, a number of MFC members who live near Accrington attended Stanley's last home game and posted a gernerally positive response from the people they spoke to on the terraces. This is not to say that MFC are looking to purchase AS - just that discuccions took place with some fans. MFC members are only too well aware that some fans will be hostile to MFC no matter what club we buy. Starting a club from scratch is not an option because no matter where we go we will be stepping on someones toes.
As regards screwing up anything - The worst that can happen to the club MFC buy is that the club will receive a financial injection of at least £1million. As I said before MFC is prohibited, by its own rules, from borrowing money and placing the club in debt, or entering contracts that could create a future financial burden on the club. In relation to AS - Eric Whalley has suggested that the club will not progress without further investment.
By the way - I actually don't favour MFC attempting to purchase AS, but many MFC members do. Either way I wish the club and its fans all the best.
