Its not a press event or a time for speeches, but just a chance for all of us who hold ASFC dear to meet and maybe even come up with ideas that can bridge the gap. We must not let the club fall. that is the bottom line. I am the first to acknowledge the success that the club has enjoyed whilst Mr Whalley was in charge, but my focus now is the present, not the past.

I don't know if I can offer anything but to show my support for the future of Accrington Stanley I will do my best to be there, hope one or two others can make it.

Good luck with the meeting everyone. Hope it goes well. Sorry I can't make it

thats probably quite harsh on Rob Heys Bagpuss.

IMHO whatever happens in the next few months I personally would let everybody carry on with their jobs with a chance to prove their worth with the shackles off.

It has been alluded to many times in the past that they are all doing their jobs with their hands tied.

Sorry I won't be able to make it on Friday Ilyas but I am on holiday in Wales at the moment, but can still recieve Radio Lanc's. Hope everything goes well,and I'll be there in spirit.

Yes I suppose so but I can only make a judgement off what I see and hear. I was not impressed with his handling of the Junior Eagles this season. When I questioned his judgement once before someone defended him by saying "he's a fan who used to stand with us on the terraces", so what, a lot of us are fans and stand on the terraces but that wouldn't make us good Chief Executives.

Sorry Rob but IMHO that's the first negative thing you have posted on accyweb, clean sweep and give me the brush.

Looks like my email to Gary Hickson worked then. It's about time someone in the media asked that question.

And IF the club did go under beceause of E.W.'s reluctance to part with his control over the club, just how much exactly will his precious shares be worth then ????

Answers on a postcard to........???

Surely E.W. doesn't think you need to be Stephen Hawkins to work that one out !!!

It's Stephen Hawking.

The meeting is tonight. Can anyone confirm the actual location of the meeting? I don't know Oswaldtwistle very well.

I see Liverpool are having a few debt problems too. Apparently the interest alone on their debts is in excess of £36 million. Kind of puts our debt in context.

Reamer · 05-06-2009, 07:41

All the top four PL clubs have massive debts. Liverpool at £300m to Chelsea at over £700m. At the same time, the same four clubs have the highest salary expenditure. On Stanley On

F A O Tin Monkey and others who are attending tonight :-
"The meeting will be held at Stanhill Hall, which is on Stanhill Road, right opposite the memorial gardens. The post code is BB5 4PP"
