Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

please could you nip to the local shop neer u n buy a little pack of tea light candles because we need a lot of candles and if people bring at least 5 each there will be enough for the whole of the protest

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

Has anyone phoned the press - Dany (Observer) or Suzanne (Telegraph)?

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

Please be warned T lights do get very hot, I recommend that you take something to hold the candle.

With Respect I think you would be better holding it tomorrow due the fact that no one will be there from the club.

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

accy mad i dont think they have but if you can ring them we would be grateful because i am not the one who sorted out the protest so please could you ring the press.

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

I'll have a go at ringing the press - not making that they'll turn up though

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

ok then mate thanxs

Re: Ccndle lit protest

Re: Ccndle lit protest

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

another vigil/protest tommorrow?

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

we ll b there will bring as many candles as we can

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

Think its because many may be going thro the pain of working whilst worrying.

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

Can someone light a candle for the people who arnt going to be able to get there tonight sue to living down south or for work, I'd be there if i could and am sure everyone else would be who can not go tonight, good luck with it and please keep us updated on what happens!

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

No probs MCR

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

But surely we need a protest tommorrow regardless of the outcome?
Plus, we can have it at a more appropriate time of say 7.30/8pm AND have the press pre-briefed.

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

Just spoken to a Telegraph reporter, given him details of what's happening, he's ringing me back in a minute with a number to text photos through to if we get any good ones.

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

what is the number matey

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

Ill be there also

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

see you all there then!!

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

I'll be there tonight. Not sure what it will achieve. Unfortunately, too little too late. I'm annoyed at myself for being so narrow minded.

I'll be there 2moro morning as well.
Whose in for that?

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

If you r gonna do 1 tommorow night then let me know and i will come up after i get my car back.:)

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

Apparently it's quite a good turnout ( no numbers for definate yet) . Police present as well, probably waiting for the neighbours to complain :rolleyes:

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

If only those so called upstairs people had as much passion as you guys.Thinking of you all and the Stanley team and management.Ive a candle lit here sending it in your direction

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

Poilce, must of got a tip-off from someone, don't think our fans are the type to cause fights etc. Well done for everyone up there at such short notice

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

What a great reporter they have, can't be arsed reporting so asks you to do it for him.

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

**** it,gonna come up 2morrow and protest outside,will be up there late,hope people will join me.

Will bring up a couple of crates of beer 2 keep every1 going.

Hope 2 see you all 2morrow.

Long live the stanley ultras.:):):)

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

Most of the local papers do this now.

Im always being asked to email pics and story through for the charity. they must have very few reporters these papers.

Good luck for tomorrow guys your all in my thoughts

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

I think Kipax is taking a few shots for them. I hope the Police just let them get no with it, I wish I was able to be there.

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

good luck,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

All for a protest/demo tommorrow.

Give the papers and tv plenty of time.

Sky sports would cover it if they are told by tommorrow morning. They send out a reporter if they know something will be happening in advance.

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

chaps,

This is the first time that i've posted on here as im not really a fan of messageboards. However, with what has happened i have felt compelled to post tonight. I've been a Stanley fan for a while now but haven't been able to make as many games as I would like due to living away from home.

So, to everyone who knows me down at Stanley as Harry Potter, I wish I was there with you tonight. I will be gutted if we don't get some positive news tomorrow.

Here's hoping for a positive day tomorrow,
Harry Potter

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

They went away. Guessed they just checked to see what was going on

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

I'm too depressed to drink.....any updates Dave.

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

All home now, sure somebody will update you Doug :)

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

Was a good turnout given the short notice,have a little optimisim now fer tomorrow, whereas had none at all before i went.:eek:

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

Is there gonna be another 1 2morrow night.:):)

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

All went peacefully police arrived on and off no intervention needed. Candles a bit of a blow out lol. But not a waste of time upto 50 people turned up with the short notice.

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

Phonecall recieved tonight from Ilyas Khan to Peter Shaw (Chair ASSF) whilst at the vigil.

Ilyas and Peter Marsden will be going to the court tommorrow to say that they are GOOD for the shortfall (around £100000) it just might be enough if they can get anyone to listen.............no promises but they are going to try.

If they are successful then ALL FANS MUST GET BEHIND THEM AND BACK THEM ALL THE WAY.

Lets hope and pray they can pull this off.

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

I went to the protest tonight and I have to say it was a good turnout. Everyone appears to agree we need a change at the top, it was good to see so many fans there.

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

:)Thanks uk thats cheered me up :)

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

did someone say recently "leave the sleepless nights to me" - - - and yet there's lights on all over Accy (and elsewhere) t'night !
Well done chums, am with you in spirit from way down south. As DoN & Co have come up short, just hope they have the savy to at least hand over all but the missing bit of the debt. Otherwise people who deal with debt will label our representations as all wind and water.

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

Great turnout once again epitimising what this Club means to people

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

doing it again tomorrow night 6pm for sky sports cameras pass the word

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

How can an evening where we don't actually do anything be so productive?

Cheers brothers & sisters, won't forget it in a hurry.

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

Really want 2 come up 2morrow,but get my car back so late now that dont think i can now,but will be at grimsby on friday,and will light a candle 2morrow.:):):)

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

Don't worry, kipax's photos will be MUCH better.

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

cheers tracterboy your a star ipswich forever

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

Only possibly productive shaker, but nowt can ever happen by doing nowt, so i endorse the Cheers All.;)

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

Need I say any more sig say's it all

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

never seen so many people look at accy web

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

I meant on a level of getting everyone on the same page, etc. We probably were beforehand but there was a definite 60s hippie collective vibe about tonight :D

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

I clocked 113 on the Stanley thread this evening I would like to know what the highest was.

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

yep n probably cos us owd (farts) hippies have seen it happen before.:eek:

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

Encouraging news.....Hope they can both manage to "pull the pheonix back from the flames" so to speak.

Just doin' a bit of maths though.... If we're around £100K short...If you deduct that from £308K, then deduct £117K (for the money in the S.O.S. fund) that would mean that there's £91K still to be accounted for...:confused:

Does this consist of Money put up by the board??? Is £45K of that money relating to loans / donations given to the club ??(as in Mr Khan's earlier £25K & professor Glasson's loan):confused:

It would appear that without the " £100K " from Illyas / Mr Marsden the present regime are short of options...Pleas for more time, I fear,will not wash with the taxman.

Unless the present Board / regime can explain where the additional funding (as in on top of the S.O.S. appeal is going to come from and without Illyas' and Mr Marsden's help )and put a strong case forward to H.M.R.C as to why they need the "adjournment for a week or so" and the Judge swallows their offer, then at shortly after 10:30am this morning, we lose our fight with the taxman.

I hope that they have the grace to accept the offer from Illyas & Mr Marsden and realise that they now have little, if any room for manouvre. :o

If they do not, and the club folds as a result, then I hope the present board,Chairman, Co Chairperson, Chief Exec, Director's et al, have answers for their actions, for they will be infamous as the people who had the chance to save the club, yet deemed fit to be stubborn to the point of lunacy, buried their heads in the sand and allowed the club to be consigned to the scrapheap again.:(

I hope they could explain to Jack Barrett how they've allowed their actions to ruin all his hard work, tell Coley & Bell and all the players, past & present, how they allowed this situation to get to the point where all their efforts have been in vain.If they ( The present board )fail to get us out of this mire,they'll effectively put a lot of people out of work by their actions, Management, players & other staff.:(

Will they be able to look all concerned in the eye and say " We did all we possibly could" ??:confused:
.

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

MANY thanks to the wise person that called SKY tonight....... good move.... :)

Wonder who called the cops ????? :(

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

Hi Stanleyites... somewhere, someone has possesion of a black flag with a silver fern on it. I sent it over 2 or 3 years ago, and Mel and Leslie flew it at a game as well as an NZ one donated by DOUG...would it be out of order for me to ask that one of those flags is taken to any protest/celebration that will/may occur today(Weds)? My thoughts are with each and everyone of you, as I know your passion is deep in your veins. I doubt I will go to bed this evening untill I hear the verdict. I pray its a good'un.

On STANLEY On-always.

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

for all the money thats been raised through a lot of collective hard work and effort there seems to have been very little auditing of incomings carried out by the club....

if the chief executive publicly declares that he doesnt know the shortfall the night before the club is due to face a winding up order then god help you all....just hope everything you raised has gone towards the intended target

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

Last night was surreal, brilliant that so many came at very short notice and then the phone call from Ilyas which cheered our spirits.
Right now just hoping & praying that he & Peter Marsden are able to help today but as we all know it all depends on the judge.

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

Accymad sadly i think as much depends on the LIARS who have got us in this mess, as much as the judge.:mad:

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

Remember it well LOL!!! Im sure no one will object & will be a NZ protest, even Lee is crossing his fingers & his thoughts are with stanley today:D

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

I have the flag Kiwi, been planning a big banner with it for ages now, just never got around to it. Will sort it for ya & try asap to get it on the terrace in its FULL glory!

Jase

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

Pictures on kipax website Stanley Fans Protest (Candles)

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

it could be an idea .. buy a pumpkin and carve it .. stick the candles in that .. a row of grinning faces .. might save your hands from when the glass jars get hot ...

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

LOL thought of that earlier when my daughter mentioned pumpkins, tho would take more than an hr to carve em & short notice.

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

GOOD POINT

The only candles that stood any chance last night were in jam jar type holders.. tea lights failed :( SO dig out the Jam jars :)

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

& a full lighter lol................tried in vain to get a few going but the blasting wind blew em out lol, good move by whoever brought the jars last night.

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

we only had afew but are raiding granny and any1 else for em today

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

a pumpkin doesnt take as long as a swede/turnip .. its easier ... just a basic one .. :D

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

We have none left recycling has been this morning :(

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

Veg market are selling em small ones 50p & bigger ones a £1 but is shut today.

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

another one maybe is if anyone has any large candles that they've used .. and theres a hollow in there ... you could use that or put a tealight or votive candle in there ..

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

Or carve letters in to them and have a row of people spelling out a message...?

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

LOL ideas aplenty :D:D:D

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

Protest today at 6 i hear??? with sky sports news coming
Well thats if we are still around...

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

Yup I take it that will happen regardless of the outcome of court, it'll be about the what next after the outcome.

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

Wish I could be there, but work calls. However, I will be there with you in spirit, Good Luck tonight and can someone please get a link to Sky Sports news of the video.

Re: Ccndle lit protest
 

Just wanted to pass on my best wishes for tonight.
