This is a bench make day in the life of “Our Club” despite the troubles of the last few months we owe Eric Whalley a Debt of Gratitude as big as the man himself, both for the years of commitment and service to Accrington Stanley and the life blood he give all of us over those years; and also for the tremendous gesture that he has given to the club today by stepping down; that gesture is the potential rebirth of the Club and a fighting chance for our future. What he’s done today can not have been easy, and although he is likely to stay on the board; today would have been like selling a child. Well done Mr. Whalley, no matter what anyone says or thinks we owe you……


Welcome Mr O'Neil, now then....about this footbal club of ours..........
