sorry Lee I disagree. I'll dissect the post and it will sound petty in places but it kinda proves the points made by the various people who you think are moaning

its the most 'popular' forum and in every walk of life there is more moaning than praising - its just how it is. The trick is in trying to embrace the negativety and turn it around into a positive. The only people who can do that are club officials. Ignore the criticism and it gets louder - acknowledge it and the shouting fades to a dull roar

me for one, its rank and many, many people have voted with their feet. For my part I have changed my drink to at least try to work around the people. but a lot won't. Should we keep quiet and stay away?

its been shut for months! Most of us on here realise that you can just walk into reception and someone will take you through. But visiting people wont realise that and wont come back tomorrow.

there's no need to come on here and mention it but for the same reasons as above you might not be able to try a different time. Occasionally I have had an excess one week and gone into the shop to try to buy something. I'd end up just chatting to Lee instead because there was nothing in stock, he'd say that something was coming back in next week but by next week I wont have the surplus money. You've got to be in a position to take the money whilst they have it

you gotta take the wheat with the chaff matey! People get frustrated with the same problems over and over and over again. When the time comes that people stop whinging on here or in the pub then we have a problem - it means they are past caring. Posters on this forum change all the time. The people who are regular posters now might not have been 18 months ago, where are the regular posters from then? Sometimes you just give up on posting, or give up on Stanley?

best part of your post Lee
. As you say in the thread title, things never will be perfect, but we can always strive for it! We all want what is best for the club and we all have ideas on how to acheive this - its just a good job that we dont all get chance to do it!
