Re: Vigilantes......
 

What has been done ????

Re: Vigilantes......
 

I agree with every post that has been made about the person who did this.

it was me.

I hadn't intended to do anything and disagree with anybody who thinks it is a good idea. The way it happened was that I had decided i wanted to sleep on the Clayton End as it may (or may not) have been the last time the ground was in that condition. Drunk and emotional I climbed over the fence to make my way to the clayton end. Whilst doing so I looked all around the ground and probably spent quite some time reflecting on everything I had witnessed there over the years. I happened across a can of spray paint and had a moment of weakness. I sprayed 'time to go' in 6" letters across the bit of wall that leads into the Gazelle Lounge. I then went to the Clayton End and tried to get to sleep after texting the first ten people in my phone to tell them where I was - including Dave O'Neil.

I am by no means making excuses for what happened just explaining why it happened.

I have spoken to Mick Schultz this morning and Dave O'Neil to apologise. I have also sent an email to Dave and Rob to explain and admit in full. I have also offered to reimburse whoever cleaned it up and have offered a case of stewards hi-viz vests as further apology.

The matter is now being dealt with by Dave and the police.

I offer my full apologies to all those fans who have acted in a way that hasn't caused any more upset or damage than necessary. It goes without saying that it won't happen again (by me) and I would implore everybody else to continue to act in a responsible and well behaved manner - it will get us nowhere. If members of the OSC and ASSF feel that I brought either organisation into disrepute then I will resign my position (it is only right). Please contact me by email, phone or PM to let me know.

Once again, sorry to everybody who I have let down - including myself.

Rob

Re: Vigilantes......
 

Rob you have done what a lot of people felt like doing at the time, its easy to see red mist with the events that took place.

Well done for being honest about your actions, its a pity other people did not come clean, which led you to take such actions.

I forgive you

CLAYTON RED

Re: Vigilantes......
 

OK, Rob, you let your heart rule your head and did something stupid, but top marks for being totally honest about it. As Clayton says, it might have been better if others in the club had been as painfully frank as you.

Re: Vigilantes......
 

Got to agree with Clayton Red Macca, yes it was bloody stupid to say the least but at least you've had the guts to own up & apologise and have tried to atone for your actions.
I think we can all understand how you were feeling at the time and my personal opinion is that I don't think there is any need for you to resign although that is your decision.

Re: Vigilantes......
 

Were you anywhere near the gents when the words 'time to go' sprang to mind? if so I'm sure a good yuman rights lawyer could sort things out.

Re: Vigilantes......
 

Macca, as a member of both of the above, plus being a Stanley fan and a friend of yours, I feel you have done enough by owning up and by contacting the club. I feel you have no reason to resign from any of your positions.

Re: Vigilantes......
 

Isn't about time we all calmed down and started to put this hideous episode in the club's history behind us.

Peolpe are being worked up into a frenzy and normally sensible individuals are saying and doing very regretable things.

The club is safe Ilyas and Peter have seen to that and we are all very grateful for their generosity and dedication to the club. Repay them by behaving like civilised members of the public. Get behind the team, Ilyas, Peter and Dave can discuss the future running of the club and we must get behind them all in encouraging them to make the best descision for Accrington Stanley, not threatening and barracking.

Come on people let's show the world that it is a better place because Accrington Stanley is still around because at the moment alot of folk must be wondering why they bothered helping to save us.

Macca you must be applauded for your honesty and your willingness to accept what may lie in store for you as a result of your actions. I hope you will become a better person because of this, I don't think you are that bad a guy to start with everyone has had a stressful and emotional time because of this but now we must take a deep breath swallow hard and work together to make a better future for our club.

Re: Vigilantes......
 

well Rob very emotional post you did BUT you vandalised the ground illegally you entered the groud illegally you went too far , no one else has done anything like that and WE ALL feel confused but there are other ways !!! sorry mate it was wrong!!!

Re: Vigilantes......
 

???

Re: Vigilantes......
 

He has already admitted he was in the wrong and has apologised to everyone connected to the club, fans, ASSF and OSC. Why put something like the above. Rob is perfectly aware he went too far, he has had the guts to own up to his misdemeanors, however in comparison to what has gone one prior to this, it is minor. Rob is Accrington Stanley through and through, he is always the first to put forward ideas to help with fund raising not just for the ASSF but the OSC as well. As far as I am concerned, the incident should be laid to rest and put in the annals of history. At least he didn't go onto the pitch and damage that, as was done in the past. Let sleeping dogs lie.
