Never a Quiet Week
Do we ever have a week where the council or someone aint after something from us
Accrington Stanley avoid threat of control room court action (From Lancashire Telegraph) |
Re: Never a Quiet Week
Let's just hope that we get this grant from L.E.G.I. And this whole thing is sorted out!

Re: Never a Quiet Week
The council are really starting to get on my nerves!! What annoys me more is that we have just brought F.A Cup fever to the whole town with the Fulham game and also putting Accrington on the map that week!! with numerous radio, tv and paper announcements and discussions and also the fact the team are doing so well in the football league! Cant they just be happy for a change! For some reason the council will never be happy!! There always trying to bring us down one way or another!!!!
I hope this is bloody sorted out so they can bog off!! |

There are no more excuses for the Club!
The days of fire fighting should be now over there are enough staff in place to avoid oversights. Planning and Contingencies should be key no more taking it to the wire. We are a Professional Football Club |
Re: Never a Quiet Week
Reading that link one of accyweb members seemingly said- "i think we have heard all this before and it is time to take the swiftest action possible" now i myself had little time fer the owd regime, but have always thought a new broom should be given a chance, so am happy to do so. This Lady obviously does not think so.:( if i was in her district i would REMEMBER this report come local elections.:mad:

Re: Never a Quiet Week
this has ****ed me right off ... if we had gone under the groung would be an anti social behaviour hot zone, drug dealing drunks under age sex prostitution etc, so just gives us time to move the ground rome wasn't built in a day, oh and yes i did have someone write this for me

Re: Never a Quiet Week
This borough has something that other towns and even cities across the country would give their eye teeth for...a football league club...a valuable source of publicity...a way of raising the area's profile and putting it firmly in the public eye, as we saw last weekend. And it's not just any old football league club, it's one that is regarded with affection and interest by football fans and the public nationwide.
Yet from reading the councillors' comments you would think they were talking about a bail hostel or a dangerous chemical plant, not one of the borough's leading assets. What is wrong with these people? As for Councillor Pritchard, perhaps she is so wrapped up in the affairs of her beloved Clarets that she is not aware of the huge upheavals the club has gone through in recent weeks including its near-death experience? I suggest she acquaints herself with the situation before she starts demanding "the swiftest possible action"...or, even better, as she's an Accyweb member, perhaps she would care to explain her comments on here? |

Re: Never a Quiet Week
Exactly how many residents does this actually affect for crying out loud?? One, five, 20 at maximum? What about the far more serious ongoing problem with the big stink from the Whinney Hill tip which continues to blight the lives of hundreds, if not thousands around the vicinity?
|
Re: Never a Quiet Week
The tip doesn't count, as the local counsillor cannot do "swiftest possible action".
|
Re: Never a Quiet Week
Maybe Pritchard has the Bob Lord syndrome, where you destroy a local football club, in the hope you'll pick up a few extra fans.

Re: Never a Quiet Week
just a reminder for the diary if we were to make the play-offs rather than automatic promotion it would mean one of the two legs being played after the 10th May:)

Re: Never a Quiet Week
If (big if) any residents are offended by this, I have only two questions:
1) Was the Crown Ground in use as a football ground at that time? 2) What exactly did you think the great big bl##dy floodlights were for? As an exiled Ossy lad, I can assure you, there's very little in Hyndburn to be proud of. ASFC is about it, so a little understanding from the council wouldn't go amiss (and could anyone who lives in Ossy remind Mr Britcliffe of this when he's next out electioneering - he's quick enough to attach himself to the club when it suits him). |
Re: Never a Quiet Week
People who buy houses next to a football ground and then complain about the effects of having a football ground next door are obviously stupid and their opinions should be dismissed.

Re: Never a Quiet Week
It might be something ridiculous such as a run in with EW in the past or it may be more sinister. There is no harm in asking, after all we are paying her cushy councillor wage and by the ammount of committees she is on it must be over £15,000.

Re: Never a Quiet Week
Boot shultzy out!!!!!
He should surley know the rules by now, seems to want to forcefully impose them on others so stand up and sort it out ;) |

They weren't very swift in there actions,when it came to gritting Livingstone Road,and other side roads!!
Just to let you know there is a working group in place re Whinney Hill / Sita, through Altham Parish Council, and Councillor Miles Parkinson and info available on the Environment Agency Website. |
Re: Never a Quiet Week
I can see you are all really trying to get the councillor on your side :):rolleyes:
Lets face it the council would have already taken action if they wanted to. Any other building without planning permission would not have lasted as long. If they don't make the right noises then anybody will think they can just build in Hyndburn without the council doing anything. Why are the residents objecting, it's not like it's a 10 storey building blocking out their views of Whinney Hill :confused:. There is also a structure being built on the ground next door which looks slightly higher than a couple of feet, how come that got permission ? |
Re: Never a Quiet Week
As most of you are probably aware, one councillor - who shall remain nameless, but who is a regular contributor to the general chat section on this website - has recently got his knuckles rapped for his supposed failure to declare an interest in the filling in of local potholes.
My question, therefore is this: If this Pritchard woman is in fact, a dingles supporter (as has been claimed) did she declare an interest as such at the council meeting when this matter was discussed? If not, why not? And will there be a subsequent inquiry into her actions? |

So basically any councillor with an alleigance to another team shouldn't attend a council meeting if Stanley are on the agenda. Is there not a minimum number of councillors needed to have a meeting ? :rolleyes::) |

I don't think it would be a bad idea either for said councillors or candidates to list their support (if any) in their manifestos and other junk mail come election time. |

Re: Never a Quiet Week
Supporting a particular football team wouldn't prevent a councillor from taking part in meetings that affected it, in the same way that once having bought a pair of socks from M&S wouldn't prevent taking part in a planning meeting about their store.
Probably, the only thing in Hyndburn's Code of Conduct, which is based on a nationally recommended model, that would prevent a councillor from being involved in a meeting about Stanley would be if they had had hospitality from the club valued at £25 or more. |
Re: Never a Quiet Week
I live on the Whinney Hill estate and see it as an advantage that I live so close. 5 minutes walk to the ground and I've no problems parking (the car stays on the drive).
IF there are any residents complaining (and that's a big IF), they'd be better off embracing the fact that they're so close to their local club, buy a ticket and watch the footy instead of sitting on their back-sides whingeing about a problem that doesn't exist! |

I've never heard anything said at all. I usually get asked what the score was whilst walking home.

I suppose at some point in the future every football league ground will be all seating. But hopefully in our case we can have safe standing like morecambes new ground so we can all stand up still! |
