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
 

That bloody R word again... :mad:

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!!

Re: Never a Quiet Week
 

Whats that Shaker?

Re: Never a Quiet Week
 

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

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
 

I am, and I will. (she had no chance anyway)

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
 

It ends in ...esidents.

Re: Never a Quiet Week
 

Move outside turf moor. simple!

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
 

when i watched the highlights on itv on saturday night .. im sure i saw a resident nearby to the club sat on his extension watching the match ..

Re: Never a Quiet Week
 

i saw that too

he was on the roof again at last nites game as well

Re: Never a Quiet Week
 

:)was'nt that afireman on his ladder:wink8::D

Re: Never a Quiet Week
 

Not quite, they were attending a kitchen fire, although with the amount of smoke coming from the burger bar behind the Clayton End, I thought they may have been coming round to the ground:D;)

Re: Never a Quiet Week
 

yeh may just have summat yon Redash,:rolleyes:

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

;)

Re: Never a Quiet Week
 

He was on the roof of one of the houses on the Whinney Hill estate. Surely they can't have any beef about the control cabin from that side of the ground??

Looks like a right busybody:D

Removed link and personal remarks against a particular councillor. Suggest if people want to voice their opinion do so appropiately please, not via forum for legal implications and antaganising the situation for stanley. Call the club or speak to the council dept handling the club's application. Thanks ;D

Sorry, Mel!:eek:

Re: Never a Quiet Week
 

It isn't. Check http://www.hyndburnbc.gov.uk/downloa...es_2008-09.pdf and you'll see last year it was less than half that.

Re: Never a Quiet Week
 

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?

Re: Never a Quiet Week
 

that my friend is a damn good question, which DOES merit n answer.:eek:

Re: Never a Quiet Week
 

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::)

Re: Never a Quiet Week
 

no-ones saying dont attend, asking should they "Declare an Interest" bit technical that fer a dingle to understand.:D

Re: Never a Quiet Week
 

Err....that's not what I said. It would appear to me that if councillors are to make decisions which have a direct bearing on the financial and operational viability of the club, then in the interests of tranparency they should declare either their allegiance to ASFC or to any local rivals.

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
 

we live on a busy feeder road to the henthron rd area

we have a pub at the back of us,a rock pub

we ve oap sheltered housing around us

we ve a garage a few yards away

a car wash drive in

a railway crossing


do i moan about the cars up and down the rd,taxi at weekends till early hrs

do i moan about hearing the bands blasting out at weekends,ppl leaving the pub at late hrs

do i moan about the meal on wheels vans and buses taking the oaps to day centres etc

do i moan about the nosie from the cars at the garage

do i moan about the bleeping from the car wash

or the trains running on a railway

no because that was all here when we moved here

yes the club should work with the locals but they will never please them all

but the club has be there a while ie when the locals moved into the area

my daughter would be more than happy to wakeup to see the crown ground every morning:Dmaybe they should a leaf out of her book :p

Re: Never a Quiet Week
 

I really don't see what this has to do with Burnley so maybe you're right.:D

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!

Re: Never a Quiet Week
 

Very well said! Just out of interest, what's your neighbour's and the other residents on your estate's opinion of the football club? Is it generally positive, negative or are they not bothered one way or t'other?

Re: Never a Quiet Week
 

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

Re: Never a Quiet Week
 

Hmmmm...suppose that's the classic good news and bad news scenario. Good in that people aren't actually complaining about us...bad in that, despite living literally a stone's throw away, no one else from the estate bothers coming to watch apart from you.

Just adds weight to my theory that the complainers are a very small minority. :rolleyes:

Re: Never a Quiet Week
 

Sod em move stanley back to peel park then :)

...please! ;)

Re: Never a Quiet Week
 

if only:) suppose money is the main factor.

Re: Never a Quiet Week
 

:( And it would be new build!!meaning an all seater stadium cashy:eek: costing millionssssssssssssssss

Re: Never a Quiet Week
 

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!

Re: Never a Quiet Week
 

yeh never know mate, have been rumblings about "Standing Areas" at some of the bigger grounds, but wether owt will ever come of it? would hope so:confused:

Re: Never a Quiet Week
 

the only standing will be on the small long side - uncovered :eek:
we'll be wrestling stewards as to whether we sit or stand :rolleyes:
