I didn't open it as it was from Stanley and addressed to him but imagine his disappointment when opening it to find he was being asked if he was worried about the credit crunch and to prevent him paying 40% tax on his estate when he dies, he's only 7 for gods sake.
After a phone call to Accrington Stanley FC Financial Services his name has know been removed from their mailing list but I still have to contact the club as I want to know why Junior Eagles details are being passed on in this way or is this part of the goodies that where promised, not happy!!!

This hasn't put him off as he wants to try the Matchday Club if I can convince my wife that not everybody at Stanley is an idiot.
Bagpuss,

I can assure you that this has nothing to do with the Football in the Community Scheme at all, we do not send stuff out on a mailing list at the moment, all our leaflets are distributed through local schools and to the kids attending our courses.

As I mentioned earlier in the thread, the Junior Eagles is shortly due for a massive shake up. This morning I've just come out of a meeting regrading the Junior Eagles and what can I say, only I'm well impressed!

It's going to happen within the next couple of months, once the new scheme is setup there will be absolutely no problems and plenty of goodies for the kids. We keep to our promises

There will be a big launch of the new Junior Eagles, keep an eye out on the official site for full details.

PS. The matchday club information will all be sent out to the schools in the local area, each child should be bringing a letter home with them by the end of this week.
