So what made you change your mind?:confused:

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

90%??? Though some are very assured???

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

According to a certain photographer on Facebook, Rob Heys has stated on Radio Lancashire that the club are to contact HMRC on Monday with a view to paying off the whole amount of £308k. Lets hope this really happens and we can all breathe again.

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

lets hope thats the case, if so, i find it really galling that he has not announced it to those who have been pulling their tripe out, n donating etc etc, via the fishy site.:rolleyes:

Cashy...'Benvenido a casa' .. BUT honestly would you really expect HE/THEM to show that sort of respect for the ones who have 'saved their bacon ?...'

'WHAT ME WORRY ??'...Just for the moment YES I DO !!!.

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

in a word mate NO.:mad: ta fer welcome home.;)

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

So...the Don's dropped a few hints to various walkers, Rob's gone on Radio Lancashire, but there's nowt on t'fishy site. Has anybody checked the Jewish Chronicle today? ;)

'ow do, Cashy, welcome back to the madhouse! :rolleyes:

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

I spoke to Rob Heys at the legends game today and asked Him outright if He did say tht the bill would be paid on Monday, as everyone has been told via facebook, His reply, and I quote , was ' We are HOPEFUL', when asked if He could guarantee payment would be made he said 'guarantee?, no'.

The reports of our salvation seem a little premature, as I dont think Rob would have held back if we were indeed 'safe' as some seem to think.

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

I think Rob will have been just careful ahead of any real announcement Pete; according to a couple of bods on facebook these’s issues haven’t even been discussed/disclosed to employees of the club so I would sincerely doubt that too much would be said before Monday.

Being realistic would Rob and the other people in the know be so claim if it was going tits up. We have one of the best teams in years and a real chance of progress so I’m no longer worried, if we were in the real piggy **** I think someone would have broke ranks long before now.

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

Its going to be a botty squeak next few days so hope its quiet on wed i may be in a mood lol

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

Another internet forum where people 'CLAIM' to know more than they really do. Is Facebook the MI6 of Accyweb's MI5 ? :D

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

Come what may on Wednesday, it is time for the supporters to make a concerted effort to get O'Neill and Heys out!
The only thing they have done for the club in the last eight weeks is to push this club deeper in debt.

If the club does survive, it is due solely to the efforts of the supporters and the generous public of East Lancs,, and afar.

Let us say to ONeill and Heys,

GO NOW!

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

Have you been drinking ?

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

sherry u go now. only 5 post by now

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

But does this mean that it might be safe for me to book my old room at The California Bar in Downtown Grimsby Cowboy ?...

They're expecting me !!.

( And Alfred.E.!)

'ON STANLEY !!!....ON !!...TO EVEN GREATER THINGS !!'

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

I really don't know who you are Sherry, but it is obvious to me that, certainly with regard to Rob Heys, you are speaking from your rectal orifice. Dave
O'Neill is someone I don't know personally, but I do know that Rob is as Stanley through and through as I am ---- and I defy any newcomer upstart to say I'm not!

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

You and I appear to have booked the same Hotel Yonmon! I sincerely hope we shant need to cancel as this is the first awaday I have been given an overnight pass for from Her that shall be obeyed :D

Shall we arrange to meet for a couple of small ones in the bar after the game?

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

You lads need to get down to Willy's Bar on Cleethorpes promenade after the game. One helluva drinking establishment, as MadKev will testify!

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

Funnily enough Wyn, I am meeting up with said MadKev, and no doubt mayhem and madness will ensue!!..............I'll be the only bloke in Cleethorpes legless yet bloody sober!!!:p:p:p

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

Get him to take you to Willy's Bar, mate...their home brew is nectar!

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

Yes Cowboy, Tis the place to be recommended for home brews although i hear some of the accy faithful are heading to O'neils before the match,That's a pub and not the Chairmans home:p

Willy's Bar is waiting for you Mr Harris,Think they should do a Stanley Super strength special just for when this tax bill is washed away like those pints will be come friday :D

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

Sadly, not this time, young Kev. A shortage of funds, due to venturing into the stocks and shares (or should I say share ;) ) market. Hopefully, next season though. Have one for me.

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

:D I shall indeed sir, You will be giving mr sugar a run for his money soon:p

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

Wyn!...Kev!...Cowboy !......

At the risk of sounding like my miserable and pedantic old sod of a Grandfather!..

Are we being a touch carried away here on a wave of Alcoholic Nostalgia ?...

Should we really be Counting chickens....and Several rounds of the beloved Nectar.....just yet ??.

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

still not looking good or the club are missing a few thou. Take it accyred that the club have updated u this aft?

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

I'm not talking thousands here but no mention of the lottery and I asked for it to prove it had been paid in :mad:

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

Stanleymad...It was sent from the club on Mon, 26 Oct 2009 16:58:34 :)

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

Blimey glad they have, but if thats the total and the promise of paying the tax man tommoz err it dont add up? ? Thanks accyred u do a sterling job and i wasn't questioning u more the club.

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

I think they lump it all under private donations. Don't think anybody would question you handed it in Ken :)

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

Don't forget there's still £100K to come, according to the press...

key figures within the club – including joint chairperson Dave O’Neill and chief executive Rob Heys – had pledged to put in a combined £100,000.

-Lancashire Telegraph, Oct 14th.

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

well as the club aint sent updates since the 21st to the one who does the thermometer, another 100K does not add to anywhere near the total.:confused:says much to me about our glorious leaders, as fer leaving the sleepless nights to the Don, this seems to be taking the pish out of all who have worked so hard, also donated, if that upsets a few "Tough" its how i see it.:(

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

always said fans would end up waiting for the 11th hour

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

so why hasn't the thermometer gone up and included their donations ?

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

why you may ask but as per no answers will come quickly!

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

Becasue they are still hoping for a mug to come along last minute and give them the cash?

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

Because they won't be donating that amount from their own pockets it will be borrowed from other sources living the club still owing more than what the taxman wants.:(

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

Well its looking more likely not and 2 where are they gonna borrow the money from? It all looks way to cool on appearance.

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

Re: "red letter day ??"
:) Lets hope to day is the day that the club makes a statement,and that our fears can be put to rest for good!!..................:) Although i posted this this morning.There has been no offical notification apart from a report in the Telegraph and a bit on the Radio!! A statement from the club would have been greeted with joy and abig sie of relief from its loyal supporters,But by this time tomorrow we will be in Stanley Heaven:)

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

Because I think they have gone right back to when O'Neill was trying to borrow money on the future earnings of the club. If you remember that was what Khan didn't want but now why not, there is always a way to borrow money if you need it.

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

I can only wish i shared the optimism but only the confirmation from hrmc will change that. But that would only lead to more ponder our future more.

Re: "Save Our Stanley"

Here's my well-worn Crystal Ball SM....You can have it if you like....It might help YOU to 'ponder our future', because I can't see anything to engender much optimism hidden within it's usually reliable predictive revelations !!....
I'd offer it to Mab but he's gifted with an unusual amount of Second-sight to begin with !..

IT'S TOMORROW YOU KNOW!!..HE SAID SO !!.

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

so still to add is sundays game plus rochdale stuff . but remmber all we have 3 more games at home **** pot up the over tin pot cup and the fa cup them will = £

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

I quite optimistic for the future dispite sounding a bit negative, the sooner we get this Supporters Trust going the better.

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

Right, Baggy, well, if you're optimistic, I'm optimistic!

Another cracking avatar, by the way. :cool:

The Futures Bright the futures stanley!!!!! would'nt you agree yonmon:) ps how much do you want for your crystal ball;):)

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

A very nice young lady, a personal friend, very shy and retiring works in a library. Unfortunately the shirt she was wearing was a cheap Prostar shirt that split just as I took the picture, she was too upset to let me take another so I had to use this one, I'm gutted.;):D

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

Thanks yonmon i shall keep looking into it and hope. Most worryingly baggy is confident ? ? Supporters trust will come a bit late to stop the winding up proceedings!

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

It certainly adds a whole new aspect to 2 pints of Carlsberg :D

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

Back to thread its not a soba one lol!

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

This is my first post so I hope I manage to conquer the technology!

As a low key lifelong Stanley fan and one of the organisers of the recent Pioneer 79 Swimming Club sportsmans dinner, it is concerning that an acknowledgement of the £1000 the club donated to the SOS fund does not appear anywhere on the fundraising site.

Although I'm always willing to give ASFC the benefit of the doubt, it is difficult sometimes to persuade others that the donation has been used for the purpose it was intended, ie to help pay the taxman.

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

Because there are other more sober and serious events to consider today SM !

"Duck 'wearing' glasses rescued from canal at Clayton-le-Moors10:24am Tuesday 27th October 2009."

" A duck wearing a pair of plastic glasses was rescued from a canal in East Lancashire.

RSPCA inspectors were called to a stretch of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal close to Victoria Street in Clayton-le-Moors, after passers-by noticed the male mallard duck struggling ".......

And here's me worrying about SOS !!

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

There is a sponsored swim - Intack - , is that anything to do with it??

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

Firstly, thank you for registering and welcome to the Stanley Section............I hope you enjoy the ongoing debates/arguments and indeed humour on display!

Secondly, please accept My thanks, and Im sure the thanks of all on here who hold our club so dear, in raising such a creditable amount for the SOS fund.

The Club, Im sorry to say are not the best at Google Page Ranking, infact they are probably the worst! Im sure that the donation you guys made will have been 'lumped in' with 'other donations'................Perhaps MrT could confirm?

:theband:

Edit:-

Just seen Valarians post....................DOH!

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

nah that was me, did that all on my ickle own

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

Sorry :o

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

you will be ;)

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

No

It was the sportman's dinner held to raise funds for Pioneer 79 Swimming Club, with a percentage donated to SOS. In the end we rounded up the sum to £1k. I've been trying to upload a picture of Barry Fry donating a 'big' cheque to Rob Heys - unsuccessfully!

The real cheque was presented to Rob at half time during the Bournemouth game.

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

Yesterday's LT.....

When asked the timescale of the payback and whether O’Neill would be in the High Court on Wednesday, he said: “I don’t want to go (to London).

"All the bank transfer will be done on Tuesday."....

It's now 15:40 Tuesday the 27th of October !!....

Has it ???...or is he going ?? (To the Metropolis I mean!!).

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

he's going to get another wek or so to get the full amount of money

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

"The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. We are Stanley."...

Should this read... "The Harder the Conflict, the more inglorious will be the Capitulation " ?...

But wouldn't you have thought that Someone...Somewhere...would have taken the time to give a real and honest appraisal of the situation to the Fans ,Donors, and everyone who has really made a supreme effort over the last Month...who deserve so much more, and so much better, than a few miserable words on the Fishy Site ??..

It is just not Good enough !!...it smacks of a total loss of Personal and Corporate Integrity....and it will, if it has not done so already, alienate many Good Supporters of The Stanley for a long time to come!!...( Irrespective of the possible largesse shown by HMRC tomorrow!)

I am now lost for words !!

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

O'Neill... you lying ****.

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

Sorry Oldgobbin, he may be Stanley through n through, as maybe Oneil, n the late E.W.that does NOT make em Fit N Proper Persons to run a football club.:(

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

im absolutely disgusted :(

seriously cannot believe what is going on

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

Accrington Stanley's fundraising campaign falls 'very short' (From Lancashire Telegraph)

the first time i get a little sick feeling in my stomach! first time in 8 weeks aswell, also felt positive and that we would have it intime, specially after all what the fans have done raised alot of money and put there very best effort, i praise every single one of you for what you have done over the 8 weeks,

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

Im just close to tears atm fighting em back cos its not sealed till tommoz, reflection at peel park is called for me thinks.

I presume you mean the pub??? :drunk: :drunk: :drunk: :rolleyes:

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

Wonder what will happen to all the money sent in for the share issue now???

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

probably go to taxman

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

you can't have shares of nothing .

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

Maybe those who paid by credit card can claim of the card company for non-delivery of goods

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

Nope even thats not same without them old stanley pics or else yeh reflection to the field.

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

They would be able to do this, yes.

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

This reminds me of a saying that my uncle told me many years ago regarding unpaid taxes:-

'If you choose to dance with a crocodile, you must be prepared for what will happen when the music stops'

The music stops on Wednesday:eek:

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

Like any purchase of goods not delivered when the seller goes t**s up.

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

Anyone that paid by credit card will be able to claim the money back from the credit card company.

Anyone that paid by any other method (and this includes debit cards) will probably not get a single penny back.

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

Let's not forget this......

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

Question guys. I need to know 2 things.
Why was only 96000 electronically transferred from the sos fund when the thermometer shows 20,000 more than that? Can someone please clear that up as the weeks extension now covers another payday for me, so I was thinking should I be transferring some more to the SOS on Friday?? The 'missing' 20,000 issue is making me think twice about it..

Thanks

Jimbo T :horn8:blower

Re: "Save Our Stanley"
 

Not really, they could always borrow a bit out of the SOS fund, there should be about 20 grand to play with.
