Re: Front Page of Tomorrows Sun Newspaper
 

do not buy the sun it prints lies.

Re: Front Page of Tomorrows Sun Newspaper
 

As apposed to all the other honest upstanding truthfull papers.....sigh :(

Re: Front Page of Tomorrows Sun Newspaper
 

You said it, scum paper:mad:

Re: Front Page of Tomorrows Sun Newspaper
 

Do you not think that this is one of the problems the club has with its image? And by association, it could account for the low crowds we're attracting.

The club is seen as a joke. The name is associated with having a giggle, be it with this sort of thing, or by the constant referencing to the milk ad.
Whenever I tell people that I am a Stanley fan they laugh, as if I'm not really serious. In my opinion, this just adds to people's existing perception.

Re: Front Page of Tomorrows Sun Newspaper
 

It does detract from the massive hard work and the acievements the club have made .. asfc are in the football league on merit and people should be wriitng stories on what a fantastic manger we have and how well we have done to get into the football league.. instead there making fun..

But all publicity is good publicity and we cant deny the milk thing has done the club good... however I agree,,, its time to put it to bed.. we dont need all this do we... i dont know.. i just dont think we do..

Re: Front Page of Tomorrows Sun Newspaper
 

Well well well, I'm in agreement with TM, when I was told of the story, I wouldn't read it would I, I was not impressed for the same reasons as TM.

Re: Front Page of Tomorrows Sun Newspaper
 

I'm not surprised. If I had the misfortune to live in that dreary place, St Annes, then I would laugh. I would laugh at anything, in fact, being the only way to keep sane amongst the massed ranks of the west lancashire living dead.

Re: Front Page of Tomorrows Sun Newspaper
 

The name does bring humour with it, it's inevitable. Milk adverts & ex-players looking like Phil Collins don't bring seriousness.
Once we start acheiving success for our league football they will all sit up and take notice for the right reasons & we'll be on all the BACK pages!

But for now let's enjoy it! We all know The Sun is a scummy rag but it's a national - & we're on the front!! ...with kate moss on the next;) :D

Re: Front Page of Tomorrows Sun Newspaper
 

Re: Front Page of Tomorrows Sun Newspaper
 

My point furthur back is.. that time is now.... no matter what stanley achieve in the next 20 years it will never come close to what was achived last season... the culmination of over 40 years work... it takes one season to win an fa cup.. it took 40+ years to win a place in the league...

Re: Front Page of Tomorrows Sun Newspaper
 

I'm just wondering if this story might have 'owt to do with the people from Accy who were wondering around the vicinity of News International last friday night and drinking with one or two of the journalists from The Sun....

Re: Front Page of Tomorrows Sun Newspaper
 

Deffo not tealeaf..................

Re: Front Page of Tomorrows Sun Newspaper
 

Hehehehehe tealeaf..soo the Accy convention meeting at Lords turned into a a drunken press conference about stanley:rolleyes:..did they pay you in pints for the story ??? heheheehe:D

Re: Front Page of Tomorrows Sun Newspaper
 

i urge everybody not to buy the paper, the sun is a rag that printed lies about hillsborough.

Re: Front Page of Tomorrows Sun Newspaper
 

Go on then.. what paper told the truth... the SUN does it with less tack and from what I can remeber about daily papers usually a day after everyone else. but its generally the same crap in all of em..

The hillsborough thing with the sun (just the sun bit now before you go off on one) has been well documented... or to be more blunt dont to death on here.. dont start it all agin this is an ACCRINGTON STANLEY FC forum

Re: Front Page of Tomorrows Sun Newspaper
 

Definitely the view of Accy fans, but the collective view of national sports media is Premiership & League orientated - so our success of returning to the football league to the nationals was nothing more than a "aww, that's nice" sort of headline.
I think that if we acheive a good cup run or even get promoted this year then IMO that will be when we start to get taken seriously in football circles, not merely as the friendly club with the nice history lesson attatched to it.

Re: Front Page of Tomorrows Sun Newspaper
 

You mean that the other tabloids AREN'T rags and DON'T print lies???

Some seem to be taking this a bit too seriously...it's just a silly season non-story that'll be forgotten about in a matter of days.

Re: Front Page of Tomorrows Sun Newspaper
 

Its always nice to have a bit of publicity though, especially on the front of a national tabloid, even if it is all a pack of lies

Re: Front Page of Tomorrows Sun Newspaper
 

Re: Front Page of Tomorrows Sun Newspaper
 

I really don't belive it was serious, as if Whalley said yes we would have pulled Sven on board in that respect

Im happy with the situation at the moment regarding management, and lets just hope we can bring in good quality back-up in later tonight

Re: Front Page of Tomorrows Sun Newspaper
 

coudl have happened if we could affod his £13,000 a day wages!!!!!!!!!!! that the fa is still paying him and not giving in grants to clubs like us!

Re: Front Page of Tomorrows Sun Newspaper
 

Yes, but the harsh fact is, who, apart from the top flight clubs, can afford to pay thier gaffer £13k a week

Re: Front Page of Tomorrows Sun Newspaper
 

If you had given your full attention to the story merited in this illustrious organ, you will have seen that Sven is on £13K a day!

Re: Front Page of Tomorrows Sun Newspaper
 

Well, it just gets worse, doesnt it ?

Re: Front Page of Tomorrows Sun Newspaper
 

Re: Front Page of Tomorrows Sun Newspaper
 

I think we have gathered that Pinfort ...

Re: Front Page of Tomorrows Sun Newspaper
 

ok ta Danthemonk:D

Re: Front Page of Tomorrows Sun Newspaper
 

I'd actually worked it out before you told us twice. That's how obvious it was.

Re: Front Page of Tomorrows Sun Newspaper
 

Calm down TM.

He really is a Sun reader.

Not something people normally shout about.

Re: Front Page of Tomorrows Sun Newspaper
 

I'm joining in with this thread a little late I know but I couldn't agree more with the Tin one. It no longer does the club any good to get drawn into these sort of stories. All it does it perpetuate the image of Accrington Stanley F.C. as a Music Hall joke.

Instead of playing along with such japes a bland "the Chairman's away on business - no comment" would kill the story there and then. Instead we'll have another round of Milk Advert crap to contend with.

I simply don't agree that all publicity is good publicity. Try telling that to Gerald Ratner -In the end "mud sticks" and the club ends up with a fifth rate image in the eyes of the public and that does nothing to attract the new supporters Accringto Stanley so badly needs.

Re: Front Page of Tomorrows Sun Newspaper
 

The milk commercial was shown repeatedly over a period of time in probably 99% of the homes in this country, so it lingered in the memory. The present story is featured in one newspaper for just one day. Nobody will even remember it a week from now.

What will bring supporters in is attractive football, goals and wins, combined with better spectator facilities. No amount of contrived newspaper stories can detract from that!

Re: Front Page of Tomorrows Sun Newspaper
 

At first i thought it was great, superb publicity

Now, when i look in more detail, i see the terms "Lowly" and "Minnows"

Dont like that one bit, and i would love to see Stanley prove them wrong against Watford

Re: Front Page of Tomorrows Sun Newspaper
 

Re: Front Page of Tomorrows Sun Newspaper
 

Couldn't agree more and, in fact, that's what happened the day after the Forest match. Had a browse through the papers in the newsagents and all of them (even the gutter press) were full of praise. A win tonight and even better, a win against Watford and there'll be a lot less danger of the club becoming the butt of another silly season headline!

Re: Front Page of Tomorrows Sun Newspaper
 

Thats exactly what i meant, everytime we are on telly, whether it be Soccer AM, or the news, its always the same thing concerning the advert, and i for one think its getting dull

There is no doubt we will survive and maintain a respectable league position this season, and just like everyone else, hope we can get some publicity WITHOUT the help of that advert

Re: Front Page of Tomorrows Sun Newspaper
 

Re: Front Page of Tomorrows Sun Newspaper
 

mmmmm...eerrrr...well.......LOL;)

Re: Front Page of Tomorrows Sun Newspaper
 

well maybe, I, we, and the club, should all refuse to give interviews or press releases if the advert is mentioned.


"hi, good afternoon, sKY sPORTS, can we have a couple of minutes with you?"
"if you're milking the situation sod off, if you call us any word that is an alternative to little sod off. Other than that what can I help you with?"

Re: Front Page of Tomorrows Sun Newspaper
 

the sun is not a newspaper its a comic:D :D
