Jeez! He is a 14-year-old Stanley fan who is running a site for the first time and he is being hounded out of town. Give the lad a break, we been through too much to need a 'holier than thou' attitude at this club.

Yes, it does say "Visit the Official Accrington Stanley club website" on his links page and it points back to his home page, but he needs to be shown how to edit that link and he has tried to manually correct the problem by adding a link titled "Accrington Stanley official site" which is to the official site.

Yes, he did copy & paste some comments from this forum about the Dagenham game. It is a bit taboo, but at least no names were given. If you think that's bad, I read an article written in Thursday Racing Post about the Ryder Cup and it was virtually word-for-word the same as an article that appeared on the ESPN website the previous Sunday! And that's from a professional journalist.

I do see that Kipax has been given full and correct credit for Leigh RMI pictures that appear on the accystan site, so why the continued pettiness? Support and encourage people who are trying to spread the word about Stanley. They'll make mistakes, but don't we all?
