i thought accrington was in hyndburn not burnley so why is it hyndburn homes raised some money for the burnley youth set-up and not accrington stanley you know hyndburns top team..your a disgrace hyndburn homes support your local club not neighbouring towns ..rant over

Quite right, bananaman. Have this H******n Homes lot got some connection with the council? If so, they should be having a word with them. It's totally out of order for any company in Accrington & District to be sponsoring club from other towns.

Hyndburn Homes is a part of Contour Housing Group which also owns Twin Valley Homes in Blackburn & Darwen (and 25 other local authority areas)
Contour Housing - Home
Contour Housing - Home - Regeneration and Social Housing Specialist

Thanks for that, Margaret. According to their website, they're based in Accrington itself, so they've even less excuse for sponsoring teams from other towns!

It's not as if a straight forward donation was made. One of their employees who is a Burnley fan decided to enter a team from work for a half time competition. They were sponsored for the event, of whom HH through Contour Group were one of the sponsors.

Besides it seems to be the butt of a few jokes that a certain Accrington company are the main shirt sponsors

Don't miss a trick do you Wynonie

OK .. off thread, couldn't resist.

Wynonie Harris · 21-10-2007, 22:19

...sorry, Kate, Accrington & Districts to give it its proper title.

Just had a thought...I hope Eric's not stocked that pie cabinet on the bar in the Crown with a certain company's pies, or else I broke my boycott twice on Friday night!

cmonstanley · 21-10-2007, 22:27

if it was just somebody that works for them why does it say in the telegraph that hyndburn homes raised the money why mention the name why didnt it just say the chaps name not mention hyndburn homes...its like saying greg pope represents the people of hyndburn and all people of hyndburn support blackburn because he does get my drift..im off now to relive all the goals ive seen this weekend 3 stanley goals 3 rangers goals yeehhaaa

Can I please make a point that Contour Homes

DO NOT

Own Twin Valley Homes and never have done.

Twin valley was created as a company to purchase the Blackburn with Darwen housing stock when they decided they wanted the council housing stock to be transferred into private ownership back in 2001

Since then we now have Pendle Housing under the umberella of prospect homes

Twin Valley homes did apply for Hyndburn housing but came second to contour housing... unfortunately I did approach our chief exec about some advertising at stanley as he is a massive footy fan and a former league referee but he felt he couldn't oblige as it was outside the blackburn and darwen area but it would have been a different matter if we had won the bid for Hyndburn Homes

You should be boycotting them because of the disgraceful treatment of British workers (make 50 redundant and replace them with cheap Eastern European labour who reside in Halifax of all places) as well as sponsoring Burnley FC.

Perhaps Hyndurn Homes are getting ready for the fact that they might soon be 'Accrington and Districts Homes', and mistakenly thought Burnley was one of it's districts.
