Good to see you back HR
Your post set me thinking back on everything that has happened over the last couple of years with the Club, Fans, Team etc. despite all the adversities that have come our way which sometimes it feels like there is no respite sometimes as one story unfolds another starts while another remains unresolved.
Then looking further back through the history books to see the rise of the "Old Reds" the photos are all that remain for those of us not old enough to remember Peel Park the glories and five figure crowds, for others who did see it there is also the sadness of seeing the demise of the "Old Reds" as crowds dropped and the Club struggled on before going out of existence.
Then six years later the Club was to re-form and begin the journey that brings us where we are today after climbing the ladder from oblivion back through the Football Pyramid to being a Football League Club something everyone connected to the Club can rightly feel proud of and part of.
We have a chequered history and proud traditions of facing adversity head on and still coming through the other side, that is down to so many people down the years and is still happening today on so many fronts from within the Club and outside of the Club.
The one constanst is the name Accrington Stanley and the images that name conjures up for all of us.
We have a lot to be proud of and a lot to still look forward to.
I suppose in all of this what I am trying to say as one chapter closes so another begins and with it will come challenges once again but hopefully this time we will be stronger for it with a united passion and belief that with Ilyas onboard things will move forward stronger.
