Break in at the club.
 

Scum,as though we can afford this we need to get behind the club on Saturday and urge them to 3 points.

Re: Break in at the club.
 

I've just read the story. It's horrible, what scumbags.

Re: Break in at the club.
 

Flamin scumbags! Must admit when I read what Cashy had posted on the Shrewsbury game thread about the lads playing in borrowed boots I thought he was being sarky about how they'd played - sorry Cashy.:o
Hope the perpetrators are caught, named & shamed although I doubt that will happen

Re: Break in at the club.
 

Was told one of the lads who played had to train in boots 3 sizes to big on Monday.:eek: Thing is though wi our justice, if this thieving scum is caught, it wont pay fer the gear fer our lads will it?:mad:

Re: Break in at the club.
 

No, if they do catch the thieves the sentence will probably be a week's 'community service', training with a football league team.

Re: Break in at the club.
 

What about starting a fund to help raise cash to replace the boots ,if £500 is donated I'll match it.

Re: Break in at the club.
 

Good idea Chubbyman - wouldn't mind helping with a bucket collection on Saturday if the club don't already have one scheduled in for then?

Re: Break in at the club.
 

Miserable, mindless scrotes. Bring back the birch and I'll gladly administer it to these swines!

Re: Break in at the club.
 

That's very generous Chubbyman, but there's a part of me that says although I know the guys aren't PL millionaires, they can probably afford to buy a pair of boots on which they will get tax relief (assuming they are getting paid of course :o). And they can presumably claim on their personal insurance. For me, any cash anybody feels like giving should go to the club to help pay for repairs and improved security, though hopefully they too are insured.

:hidewall:

But I do agree the scumbags are scumbags :D

Re: Break in at the club.
 

I'm with Chimer on this one. I think collecting for players boots will only be used as the subject of many a joke and not be positive for the club.

Re: Break in at the club.
 

What's new? To many other clubs Stanley are one big joke and always will be.

Re: Break in at the club.
 

where was cashman when this incident took place?

Re: Break in at the club.
 

Don't think he's a scouser

Re: Break in at the club.
 

exactly, so he must be suspect

Re: Break in at the club.
 

Just a pity Stanley's kit is sponsored by Mitre, one firm that no longer seems to make boots.
It would be nice to think that this will be the last bit of bad luck for a while.
Missing a last minute penalty, conceding two goals from handballs, having a keeper sent off for being barged in the back, and now this is more than enough for a season, never mind a week.

Re: Break in at the club.
 

Be very careful what yer saying, i know far more about you,than yeh do about me.

Re: Break in at the club.
 

When I was a lad no-one would ever have dreamed of stealing someone else's football boots.
I wonder why?

Re: Break in at the club.
 

Exile,they must be Cashys or Redraines boots !!.
Seriously tho,its not just the boots,some players have special in-soles to protect again hamstring/calf pulls etc,they went as well.
Dean played in a pair of Huntys old boots,which was really sad and frustrating,Chubbyman is right,all players pay for there own boots and need 4/5 pairs for training/playing etc.. and at nearly £200 a pair,it becomes expensive.
On a lighter note,i cant stop smiling at the thought of someone pushing Buzzers wheelbarrow down the road full of boots and nobody said anything !! :)

Re: Break in at the club.
 

Ha ha! Those are much too modern to be mine though. No white plastic on mine - just really thick cow hide uppers to match the ball with it's chunky sticking out lace. Murderous!

Re: Break in at the club.
 

I hope Grays 'pitch gripper' boots haven't been taken ;)

Seriously though simply disgraceful, but sadly this is the society we live in now and I'm afraid a couple of bolts and padlocks just will not suffice these days. :(:(:(

Re: Break in at the club.
 

There is now a statement on the Lancs police website.

Can I urge caution in what is said on here as there is a police investigation underway and any wrong comments WILL effect the outcome of this enquiry.

A number of other leads are being followed and again the law of the land must be followed.

We must assist Lancs police and be directed by them; plus thank them for their superb work so far.

Happy for the link to be posted

Re: Break in at the club.
 

lancashire police website..... 5 youths aged 14...3 from Accrington and 2 from Oswaldtwistle have been arrested on suspicion of burgalry and are still in police custody.Sounds like great news especially if they recover the boots.

Re: Break in at the club.
 

Thing is, the police do a great job, have suspects snared already, if its a result n goes to court, the little scummies will get a slap on the wrist,told not to be naughty, n released, thats a knocking bet,!! must be really disallusioning fer the cops.:(

Re: Break in at the club.
 

you missed out that the social services would take them all on a day out and treat them to a new pair of football boots each!!!!!

Re: Break in at the club.
 

Better close this thread before their tax-payer funded solicitor(s) claim they can't possible get a fair hearing:rolleyes:

Re: Break in at the club.
 

To Stanleys next home game probably. :rolleyes:

Re: Break in at the club.
 

never heard that one before.

where is your sense of humour? not like you.

Re: Break in at the club.
 

Theres a line yeh dont cross Davo, laugh at most stuff, intimate i'm a thief n yer on a bad errand.

Re: Break in at the club.
 

Apparently when Peter Marsden was told about the break in his first reaction was to ask if any of our cups had been taken.

The copper said not to worry as the thieves hadn't been able to get into the canteen!

(The old ones are the best)

Re: Break in at the club.
 

your sensitive today, im seeing a whole new side of cashman I never knew existed.
Normally, you would call me a kn%bhead.

you must have worked out by now it was tounge in cheek?

Re: Break in at the club.
 

I knew it was, problem is yer to dumb to realise yeh went too far.

Re: Break in at the club.
 

so we got broken into twice, disgusting.

BBC News - Accrington Stanley burglaries: Five boys arrested

Re: Break in at the club.
 

It aint just disgusting, its what its going to cost a club that has sod all.:(

Re: Break in at the club.
 

All local lads too. Typical of the lack of local loyalty in this town.

Re: Break in at the club.
 

Was that our best attendance of the season at the store first stadium --- on Sunday !! :)

Re: Break in at the club.
 

F19;

Yep spent all day chasing them away!!

Over the summer the police have served several RJ's on local youths to stay away from the stadium

Re: Break in at the club.
 

My thoughts exactly. Scum. Utter sub-human scum. Should be publicly flogged at half time in the next home game.

Re: Break in at the club.
 

Not actually within the range of punishments available to a Youth Court :) .........and certainly outside the Sentencing Guidelines!

Don't blame the Courts for the penalties they impose; their hands are tied in so many ways ....They do (in most, but not all) cases have some discretion, but it's heavily fettered

Re: Break in at the club.
 

They should be made to clean all the players boots including youth team's & when they've done that, make 'em start again & again & again ................ that's after the public flogging of course!

Re: Break in at the club.
 

Wonder if they got enough evidence to charge anyone yet?:confused:

Re: Break in at the club.
 

Sky Bet have replaced the boots stolen. Super gesture. Gratefully recieved. :)

Re: Break in at the club.
 

Thats a great gesture,well done Sky Bet.:)

Re: Break in at the club.
 

Good one Sky Bet. :)

Re: Break in at the club.
 

let's hope they are odds on shooting boots thanks Sky Bet

Re: Break in at the club.
 

Thank you Skybet-a wonderful gesture.

Re: Break in at the club.
 

Does someone want to start an internet whip-round to replace a couple of the stolen balls? I'll chip in if they do .............but I don't know how to do it!

:o:o

Re: Break in at the club.
 

Don't panic; Mitre are sorting the missing balls:)

thank goodness the lads were wearing sponsored kit for the photos!!;)

Re: Break in at the club.
 

My idea is that the accused meet the team and management to face the wrath and then have to take part in a hard training session lasting at least one and an half hour that involves all the players.. that will certainly teach them lesson as all they will be getting is a slap on the wrist

Re: Break in at the club.
 

Amazes me how companies like Sky Bet can buy their way into the hearts of fans and players alike.

Re: Break in at the club.
 

Hardly "buying their way into our hearts and minds". They simply stepped up to the mark and replaced the boots for which we are duly grateful. Obviously the publicity won't do them any harm, but I doubt if any of us will be rushing to open up Skybet accounts. If you're so bothered, perhaps you should've organised some new boots?

Re: Break in at the club.
 

did the players tell them which boots they wanted, or did they replace the ones stolen

Re: Break in at the club.
 

Any chance of the cowshed being nicked and a construction company stepping up :)

Re: Break in at the club.
 

Yer post amazes me Shaker, yeh usually talk sense.:rolleyes:

Re: Break in at the club.
 

Must be an anti corporate lefty. Probably anti fracking too!

Re: Break in at the club.
 

Oo'er. It's great that the players have boots again and haven't had to fork out for them. That's all that matters at the end of the day. But, the actions of betting companies across sport - making themselves appear as 'friends' of clubs, supporters and fans - leaves a bitter taste. These behemoth companies have such a destructive influence and, yes, it amazes me - not how fans and players receive their gifts (who wouldn't) - but the brass neck of the companies to put themselves out there in this manner. And, the large measures of Jim Beam's Devil Cut may have helped carve a post without much reasoning to it :D
So no, not a lefty chant of corporate greed (I'd call it an idealogical crusade ;) ). What's most important is that the players have their gear again. Apologies if my ill-timed post offended. My one-man-war can wait. :lol:

Re: Break in at the club.
 

That is all that counts imho, also the fact Mitre are replacing the balls, both club n players aint exactly coining it in,

Re: Break in at the club.
 

It won't be me, Shaker, but wouldn't it be ironic, if not fantastic, if one fan placed one more wager with Skybet and scooped the £250,000 prize for Stanley's transfer fund?
Just think of all the Scouse has-been that would buy for Davo!;)

Re: Break in at the club.
 

Great let,s hope we perform in new boots and all will be well.
