[Wynonie Harris]

This borough has something that other towns and even cities across the country would give their eye teeth for...a football league club...a valuable source of publicity...a way of raising the area's profile and putting it firmly in the public eye, as we saw last weekend. And it's not just any old football league club, it's one that is regarded with affection and interest by football fans and the public nationwide.

Yet from reading the councillors' comments you would think they were talking about a bail hostel or a dangerous chemical plant, not one of the borough's leading assets. What is wrong with these people?

As for Councillor Pritchard, perhaps she is so wrapped up in the affairs of her beloved Clarets that she is not aware of the huge upheavals the club has gone through in recent weeks including its near-death experience? I suggest she acquaints herself with the situation before she starts demanding "the swiftest possible action"...or, even better, as she's an Accyweb member, perhaps she would care to explain her comments on here?
