Ten years later Accrington Stanley are being asked to comply with the League requirement which we all accepted on gaining promotion, nobody on the magnificent day said "I dont want FL promotion we will have to fit some seats" Lets face facts here...
You the fans dont want seats, The Directors dont want the seats but we must comply, this seat buisness will cost the club a lot of money it hasn't got.
What would you say if The Board ignored the seat regulation and the club were asked to leave the Football League ???
You would rightly come on here in droves and destroy the Board for neglecting the seat issue and will probably ask them to resign en mass.
Dave O'Neill, Mark and all the board have worked hard to ensure the seats will be fitted, two or three rows of seats across the front of The Clayton End will be perfect for the Ultras to drape banners on stood behind that the singers, the terrace will still be a great place to be just like The Kop and the Longside.
It boils down to two things 1, Seats or 2, Football League expulsion the choice is yours.
I am trying to be positve here and yes the situation is far from perfect but it is what we must do to to maintain Football League Status.

As stated previously, its not the seats - but where they are going and how its been done..... We all know they have to be put in place and we are not disputing that, but some of us believe that with a little more thought/forward planning they might have gone somewhere else! But its all old news now........
