Re: Miss Accy Stanley
 

Course we're not going to fall out, Kipax, I've said what I think and if I'm in a minority then so be it. I would like to think we've got past the days of judging women solely by their appearance, but obviously I was wrong. I don't really think I've got anything more to say about it, I just find the whole idea repugnant. Perhaps instead of a Miss A.S the club could make use of both the male and female supporter of the year, once they've been voted for, that seems to be the end of it, but they could be used to raise the profile of the club, eg modelling kit and so on and that would get round the problem of judging people by appearance. Just a suggestion, and it sort of ties in with MaidstoneAccy's idea. Anyway, off to get ready for the Supporter's Club meeting :)

only go to a few games as i am always working saturdays.but if you like i think garinda off the accrington web site would make a lovely miss accrington stanley. has started to go to a few matches and would give him something to do!;)

Re: Miss Accy Stanley
 

I know it's not politically correct to say this these days but I have no objection to beauty concerts. As long as the women who are participating are aware that they are doing it and are reasonably intelligent enough to avoid exploitation then it's probably ok. I draw the line though when rough women win this type of thing simply because they're prepared to go a step further and degregade themselves in a skimpy costume or no costume at all. They give all women a bad name and down grade the contest and the people who select them.

There is nothing wrong, in my mind, for being acknowledged for being beautiful - and I am totally envious of long limbed women who win, I would love to be attractive enough to be able to enter.

Re: Miss Accy Stanley
 

Sorry Kipax, but I have to agree with Stanleybabe on this one. it's a ludicrous idea - what would be next, a 'page 3' girl in the programme every week?

Re: Miss Accy Stanley
 

AccyMad- genius! What a great idea! :)

Re: Miss Accy Stanley
 

Why am I not surprised!!!

Re: Miss Accy Stanley
 

I'm in two minds on this one, and can see both sides of the argument.

Like someone suggested why not have a Mr. Accy Stanley as well so it gives the numerous female fans something to get hot under the collar about too?

Re: Miss Accy Stanley
 

It's really not about that Garinda, in my opinion it would be a cheap & tacky publicity stunt that Accrington Stanley can well do without.

Re: Miss Accy Stanley
 

AccyMad I'm with you. It does seem a bit tacky and a bit 70's. We don't even have beauty contests on TV anymore.

There is a great family feeling at the ground, it seems silly to perhaps alienate the sizable, dedicated female fans by having a Miss Stanley.

Re: Miss Accy Stanley
 

i think its a great idea to have a miss accy stanley but as others say why not have a mr accy stanley too it would be a boost around the ground and also accrington too.this way its not too sexist and im sure there would be plenty of people up for giving it a try.
beautiful people showing of a beautiful kit and beautiful game!!! what more needs to be said?
id be more than happy to enter if its going to support my local town!
if it was to get off the ground i think the fans should be the judges so at least they have a say in the matter!

Re: Miss Accy Stanley
 

I reckon it shoud be called the "Accy Stanley Family" then you can introduce all kinds of people and get a widest audience as poss. I think if more people could see the families that come along to stanley I think it would help bring more in. Miss Stanley would only interest some men and the odd woman who was interested in entering. Mr Stanley? how, where's the talent? so that's a non starter ;) . Whereas if it was centred round families then obviously a family coming to stanley would require more tickets and therefore increase attendances!! There you go....... I thank you

Re: Miss Accy Stanley
 

As has been said we already have a male supporter of the year & a female supporter of the year who are voted for by the fans at the end of each season - difference is the winners each year are not voted for based on how they look but for what they do for the club!

Re: Miss Accy Stanley
 

I can't see anything wrong with it as long as they are working for world peace and helping sick children.

Re: Miss Accy Stanley
 

The girl who runs the club shop, the one with the glasses - she gets my vote to be 'Miss Accy Stanley'......such a lovely, helpful girl
