I really wouldn't consider it 'knocking' Accrington.......after all he isn't as far as I know comparing it to Wigan and saying Wigan is better.

Accrington does feel very 'down at heel'....and I have visited lots of other northern towns...so I rather think he is portraying the town without the benefits of the rose coloured spectacles.
