Not expecting anybody to drop the Rovers like a stone, Jaysay. Cashy's a Rovers fan and he manages to turn up at Stanley on a very regular basis. Councillor Britcliffe, as a born-and-bred Accy lad and the major representative of the borough should do the same by adopting Stanley as his second club. I don't know for sure, but I would imagine that he doesn't get to all of Rovers away matches so he could quite easily do so. The fact that he doesn't makes all his pronouncements about the people of the borough getting behind Stanley just so much hypocritical cant. Graham's got a bit more of an excuse as he's a Mill Hill lad, but, as the leader of the opposition, he also should be turning up to the Crown Ground more often. They ought to take their lead from Bernard Dawson - a shining example of a local councillor supporting his local club!
As for me, I support Stanley because I'm an Accy lad, wherever I may roam, but that's of no consequence, as I'm just an ordinary Joe. What I'm saying is that Messrs Britcliffe, Jones and others should be supporting Stanley more publicly by pitching up on a regular basis as representatives of the borough.
