There is still a chance this may go the right way, but if not, then I would certainly have no sympathy for anyone on here who supports the ludicrous name of Hyndburn but constantly whinge about all the problems that exist there.

But Accrington has always been here during the past 30 years of Hyndburn BC. It's not as if no-one has been able to find Accrington on the map should they have wished to do so. It hasn't been masquerading under the guise of "a part of Hyndburn" for the past 30 years so I really can't see how that argument holds water. The name Hyndburn only becomes relevant to would be investors after they have come.
