The wages issue was subject of a story in the Lancashire Evening Telegraph on Tuesday:

Accrington Stanley v Shrewsbury preview: Captain shrugs off wage delay

10:23am Tuesday 6th October 2009

ACCRINGTON Stanley captain Andy Procter insists the squad are focused on results rather than unpaid wages ahead of tonight’s Johnstone’s Paint Trophy second round tie at home to Shrewsbury.
The Stanley squad go into the game, which kicks off at the earlier time of 7pm to encourage families to attend, having still not received half of their money for September but Procter says they are instead concentrating all their thoughts on a return to form after Saturday’s 1-0 loss at Chesterfield in League Two.
Stanley won four of their six games last month – including a 5-3 win over Crewe in their last home game – so Procter is now targeting another run of results to help the club progress in the trophy and also prevent their league standing slipping lower than their current position of 14th.
On the subject of the wages, which were due to be paid last Wednesday, he said: “The lads have received half the money and the rest is supposed to be going in on Sunday.
“But that’s not an issue, none of the boys even mentioned it before Saturday’s game.
“To be honest there’s not too much the players can do about it apart from put performances in on the pitch and try to get fans through the gates."
