No bitterness towards AS, just sadness, particularly that after all your efforts you can still only get 2,000 or so spectators to a home game - I suggest youi look for another challenge, you have obvbiously failed inyour attempts to increase the gate to a viable commercial number.
You have your freedom to choose Wyn without criticism from me - allow me the same courtesy.

The fact remains that Stanley's support is so low exactly because of people like you - people with no regard and no loyalty towards their home town football team. People who choose a football club to support in a town with which they have no connection simply because they're more successful than their hometown club. As for "looking for a new challenge"
I don't regard it as a challenge, I regard it as a privilege to support my home town football league club, even if the majority of Accringtonians adopt your uncaring, indifferent attitude.
As for not criticising your choice, I've got every right to criticize your choice just as you've got every right to criticize mine - that's what democracy's all about, isn't it?
I'll tell you something, Barrie, when the club had reached their lowest ebb around 1965, I was still there on the crumbling terraces of Peel Park, along with around 50 others and I would've carried on even if I'd been the only one. I've left instructions with my missus to have my ashes scattered on the Clayton End (just as my old fella's are on Peel Park) because it's in my blood. So I'm not going anywhere looking for new challenges, I'm here till the death, literally, and I'm on your's and every other stayaway's case in the meantime!
