This is the quote from Eric Whalley on the official site, “I was always of the opinion that our name was our greatest asset, however looking at our gates it just doesn’t seem to be the case. I have always held dear the name of Accrington Stanley, but it just doesn’t seem to draw in the crowds. Rebranding the club as an entity that the whole county can support instead of having to rely on the people of one town opens up many new revenue opportunities in terms of people through the turnstiles, links with corporate partners and merchandising avenues.”

So, I agree with Bagpuss, "Eric OUT". In the club's own terms we can chant it without really meaning it.

Friday night game, could make good press the next day.
