Yes, I do have something of value to add to the forum. It may be stating the obvious but all the problems with the form of the team seems to have started when Long went back to Burnley.

On a general note, it is a sad fact of life but until Stanley get bigger gates they will always just about survive, and I cannot see how they can progress further. If they got promoted I am not sure they would be able to stay up. 1,800 is simply not enough - a couple of years ago Salisbury were getting more than that in the southern league.

Last season the club lost their best six players, and this season it was Long, Proctor and the manager.That cannot all be down to not getting paid on time. More likely down to frustration and an ambition by those individuals to progress.

The problem with football as a whole is that players at all levels are paid far too much, it is not rocket science.

The other problem that Accrington have is too much use of loan players, and I thought that was a real problem last season. Apparently Mr Cook feels the same, which is something anyway. I do not see how you can achieve consistancy and good teamwork with players coming and going all the time.

Now the above posting does not include one word of nastiness to anyone on here - but no doubt someone will come out with a load of abuse, I have come to expect it now.

I did not contact shakermaker via the forum message thing because to be honest I simply do not know how to!!!

If you have time, as Stanley supporters you should read his blog, it is very interesting, well written and an example of how English should be expressed.

The Long situation wasn't decided by anybody at Stanley or even the player himself, all down to Eddie Howe.

That depends on the make up of the league at any given time. They would definatley have been able to afford to stay up this season if they had gone up. The number of northern clubs in League 1 this season with large followings would have massively boosted the gate money.

Well a small step in the right direction, Not sure about the remark about reading shakers blog? seems a bit condescending to me, cos most on here have read Shakers blog since he started it, also Smudgies.

Cannot see how my current comments differ greatly from my first ones on here.

I shall continue to watch Accys progress, or lack of it, from afar.

I think the lack of the word 'twerps' makes for much friendlier reading.
