So I know what it was like for the Accrington fans. I was also supporting Salisbury when they nearly folded about 2005 and it was the fans that saved them. I have always admired any supporters who resurrect their clubs such as Accy and Wimbledon.
I do hope that your club do progress, because clearly a lot of people have put a lot of hard work into getting them back into the league, it is no mean feat and they deserve success.
When Accy played the Gills I had a problem deciding where to stand!
It was with reluctance that I decided not to come to the Crown but I sincerely assure you that I just cannot live with the drumming. If others like it, that is fine, but not for me,thanks.

I don't think that many would ridicule you for supporting Gillingham Malcolm, when you mentioned a southern team though i was worried that it could be Crawley Town!!
I like the drumming, when it's not there the atmosphere is tame! I know many older ones have a bit of a grumble about it but it does make up for our lack of numbers in the ground! If i could stop one noise inside the ground it'd be that crackly old tannoy booming out and playing naff tunes!
