OK. Although I'm distant from much of what goes on off pitch and I don't have sufficient contact within Accrington to hear the gossip it still troubles me to ear this level of continual discontent, more so to hear dedicated fans staying away.

Rather than pointing a finger and crying out for understanding I thought I ask a couple of questions mainly for the club.

It's the 20 January and already the club has had its first CCJ of the year. Why do we continue to go the expense of court before paying bills off. cheaper to pay them before the CCJ occurs.

Where is Ilyas. Why is there no communication and reassurance from him that the fight goes on and hope is alive. I know that sounds dramatic, but with so much being said in public before its hard not to miss the fact that there's so much silence now. I don't always agree with what is said, but I do respect him for his actions and have hoped that a permanent solution is found for the future of the club and a prominent role for Ilyas in it.

It's time to work together or we all suffer.

And on. Last night we had the forum with around fifty bums on seats; What about the other 2000 or so of the Stanley Family world wide. Would it not have been prudent of the club to video the meeting or at least have something on PowerPoint to share with the rest of us. I know it's about getting out into the community, but there is an extended community beyond the township and we can have an impact if we are included.

I know peoples opinions on here and on face book, apart from that we know sod all.

What I'd like to see is a multi disciplinary working group focusing on the problems at the club. Not to dictate, but to work out how to move everybody forward and benefit the club and the town. It's been said before and its so easy to do, most of it is listening and that pursuing positive outcomes for the club and community.

It should include: Supporters pro and against. The Club. Business. Council. Interested Community Groups. Police all working together in the open.

The odd forum and tatty press release will never do it. It needs working at, long term and openly.
