I think it is willow just the information is on the fishy site about it.

Re: Accrington Stanley are like Buses
 

Is it? Despite what the BBC say about the club "buying" it, I thought they'd taken a 5-year lease on it.

Wow someone being positive on these boards, I thought we could only talk about just managing to stay up or how bad, Eric, Coley or the shop was. :rolleyes:

Re: Accrington Stanley are like Buses
 

Which were all appropriate at the time.

Re: Accrington Stanley are like Buses
 

Of course they were!!:rolleyes:

Re: Accrington Stanley are like Buses
 

Yes, that's what I thought, from another site -
Accrington are now the landlords of the Crown pub near their ground. They will reopen the pub on July 1st, with all the turnover of the pub contributing to their wage cap budget.

If the last bit is true, does all income generated go towards wage cap?
In which case the appointment of a commercial manager is even better news than I first thought. Let's drink to promotion then. :)

Even the avatars are looking more positive ;)

Re: Accrington Stanley are like Buses
 

I wasn't aware, but you're right! It must be a subconscious event. ;)

Re: Accrington Stanley are like Buses
 

Too tired to chase that up last night but:
There is a mandatory wage cap in this division that limits spending on players' wages to 60% of club turnover.

So, it's sensible drinking from July 1st, and no smoke. :cheers:

They're at the Fraser Eagle Stadium behind the Crown Inn on Whalley Road.

Top of the league at the moment, by dint of alphabetical order.

Re: Accrington Stanley are like Buses
 

As you now run the Crown, does this make you a pub team?

Darlington Chief Executive Jon Sotnick:
.... we are always investigating alternative income streams and the visionary project we have recently announced will provide vital revenue from commercial rents to underpin the financial development of Darlington Football Club as a commercially viable business."

Similarly, does this make you rent boys? :p
