So can you remember it all then? I heard Mike Ferguson on Radio Lancashire yesterday recalling the events.

Don't know if anyone else has answered this, but Lancaster City Council includes Morecambe so they would be the authority helping Morecambe

No mate can't remember all was 14 at the time, but remember much of it, including Fergy who i happen to have Tattooed on me arm.:D Wish I'd been aware of that on Radio Lancs. The sadness n Disappointment never left me until Stanley returned to the league.

He was on the Sally Naden programme from 11am till 1pm. I only heard it for a minute, i called home and Rob Heys was in the studio, then Mike Ferguson was on talking about the events of the day. I don't know how long the interview was but they had other Stanley related features on as well.:)

Cheers its just oer 32mins in.:)

Was it a longish interview Cashman or just a few words?I see the picture of the old players is on the official site. :)

Re: What if 1962 hadn't happened?
 

Fergys was just short, Rob Heys was a few mins.:) wasn't bad either.

It was disaster, Peel Park was the center of football for all the local kids, it was the place we all went every Saturday, the place our dads took us to. It was more than a football stadium, it was a second home for most of us. I was 17 at the time and playing with the reserves, although we all knew the club was in trouble, it didn't make it any easier to except when the final decision was made to resign. What would have happened if Stanley hadn't folded? Things would certainly have had to change, there would have had to be new blood in the directors box, new management all around and new "money". Looking back there was no chance of any of those things so the inevitable happened. As has been said, the "Fairy Storey" of Accrington Stanley would never have happened, the fight to restore the pride in the club has been incredible, the club is living within it's means and hopefully the old motto of "On Stanley On" will prevail.
