At least 4 and possibly 5 of those guys lived on the Within Grove council estate amongst Miners, Power Station and English Electric workers. The WAG's used a twin tub and pegged their washing out on a monday morning, had their hair done on friday by Bert Scotts wife and got their weekend joint from Harold Heys corner shop....NORMAL PEOPLE PLAYING THE PEOPLES GAME

I watched the England women stuff Turkey 8-0 the other night, no fantastic wages, no agents, playing for the shirt, I saw effort and women who showed they wanted to play in the next game..they were screaming please pick me look what i've done tonight'....NORMAL PEOPLE PLAYING THE PEOPLES GAME

I watched the England men dredge a draw against Ukraine. massive wages, agents..I saw a mediocre game, people who knew they would be in the next game regardless of how they played, or else!!...they didn't give a stuff..PEOPLE SCREWING THE CRAP OUT OF THE PEOPLES GAME

Agreed, but those playing for Stanley today are normal people playing the people's game. They can't afford to be anything else on the lowest budget in the Football League!

So why do the so-called normal people of Accrington largely ignore them, preferring to watch cossetted, overpaid "superstars" playing for Man U and the like on Sky Sports? And before you say, "because they haven't won this season", this abject apathy has been going on ever since we got back in the league, even during the play-off season!
