Re: damaged pride

Ummm ....

I support the club, not the management - management is only temporaray - and my pride in and support for the club that wouldn't die is not in any way damaged by managerial fiascos.

Only Norman's first point (and for my own peace of mind I choose not to believe his assertion - let''s remember nobody was charged with match fixing over the Bury game) could be a reason not to turn up to support the team.

Whilst I agree the management failed to capitalise on the return to the league, I don't see why that should have stopped Norman making the trip from Baxenden occasionally, assuming he knew it had happened. Nobody had to ask me to travel from Pompey to watch the first home game back in the league, and Rovers weren't playing that evening ....

And I don't think even the most arrogant management really expected 10000 Accringtonians to roll up at our 5000 capacity stadium

Respect to Norman for contributing to the fund (and now the debate), and no, of course he wasn't wrong to show his affection in that way. But if he really wanted to switch his allegiance to Stanley, he would have done so before the latest hoo-hah blew up. I think, whoever's in charge of ASFC at the time, he'll still be wearing blue and white and in despair the day we knock Rovers out of the Cup
