What's ironic is that at long last, the club are showing signs of making progress. Fans will tell you that over the last few weeks, the club has become more user-responsive to supporters and altogether more professional in the way it goes about things. Merchandise is delivered promptly, the website is kept up-to-date, new initiatives are regularly introduced. The projected new ground improvements can only serve to make the club a more enticing prospect to the citizens of Accrington. There is now a real chance that the club could start to pay its way.

It would be a crying shame if the club slipped back into oblivion now, just as it's about to enter a new phase.
