Looks like he has gone back to sleep now; either that or he is composing a letter to a well known BBC tv makeover show to get Laurence Llewellyn Wotsit to come and put some chintz curtains and faux fur throws about the place !

yes we are, cos not long ago we had a crap ground and a crap team and were playing in a crap league. 38 years ago we had a clay field that couldn't soak water up, no ground, and were playing park football. 39 years ago we had nothing

yes we do,but if the town can't substantiate it then there is no point, the townsfolk won't pay for it, can you?

Morecambe as a town has roughly the same population as Accrington but does not have a Premiership and Championship club within 5 miles either side - sure it has Blackpool and Preston a little further afield but not quite as close as we have to suffer. Also they stopped in the Conference for about 12 years and spent all of the nineties and some of the eighties and noughties at least two leagues apart from us. They have had larger amounts of money for longer periods of time than we have and quite rightly should be better set up than us. The new ground they are building will be self funding apparently but as a town it can incorporate a hotel - we couldn't, it will incorporate a McDonalds - we couldn't, it will have floodlit community playing fields - our Council wouldn't allow it, their Community Team has been running for years and has about 500 kids signed up at any one time - we haven't as we haven't even been running a year yet.

So never mind about 'the trouble with you lot' - it's the trouble with numpties like you that we need to worry about. Impatient, jumped up brats with no life that think nowt better than belittling everything about the club they claim to support.

Nob off up to Barrow where you'd fit in better.

Like I said Macca......a useless, unproductive....and provocative thread....
which I feel is intended to do nothing else but get up our collective noses !
A Lankyism to consider though :- He's more to be pitied than blamed!!'
seems apposite to me!!

depechemode · 08-03-2008, 06:56

maccawozzagod · 08-03-2008, 08:18

As someone who isnt a die hard- and i'll apologise now for posting on here, just wanted to give an outsider point of view.

1. I'm not an inbreed, but you do talk complete cack Depeche.

2. Yes Accy Stanley has come a long way, and I have no doubt that with the supporters it has, it will go a long way in the future

3. The financial stability of a club will be more important to an potential new player than one that has spangly curtains and so one.

4. I do however believe that with the right focus, Stanley can 'play with the big boys' even with Blackburn and Burnley on our doorstep. Granted, it will take time, but I have lost count the amount of places both inside and outside the UK, where I have spoken to people who have never heard of Blackburn, but mention Accrington Stanley and their eyes light up.

I personally believe that Accrington Stanley Management could do more working with their strengths, not only on the field, but off it, as a true business. Marketing, Google Page Ranking, fundraising etc should be given a more emphasis; get the money and the support from the community, and the council will soon click on to the financial prospect of the club and become more willing to work together.

This post is in now way knocking the achievements of Stanley so far, only that I have faith that we can go a lot further!
