Stanley are swimming at the bottom of a murky football pool where a few sharks at the top are being fed and fattened by debt and greed. Football clubs are in a worse shape than an Icelandic bank sitting on top of a volcano, but no-one is going to bale out the minnows. That's transparent.
£80K to improve the pitch is possibly as much as the club can afford in a season. New stands, roofs, training grounds, long term contracts may come, if they do, slowly. Step by step, one at a time.
It would be great to get a different regime in charge of the club but even with Messrs Khan and Marsden, the club will have to struggle to survive. It always has, and always will, I guess.
But, heh, we're still in the Football League next season. Stanley, in the league! So enjoy it while we can can because we, more than any other fans, know "nothing" can last forever.

Well said, Exile, but if the management were open and honest with us about having "nothing" and taking things step-by-step, we'd be better disposed towards them. It's coming out with grandiose statements about large-scale ground improvements and the like, followed by the inevitable letdown that causes bad feeling and disillusionment.
Agree with you, be thankful we're still in the FL and enjoy next season for all it's worth, away trips and all. As a good Stanley fan mate of mine always says: "que sera sera".
