I went on Saturday for the first time since the Exeter game, and I was really impressed at the improvement in quality in the side. Coley has done a great job in moulding a team of players who are getting to be League standard. I thought the keeper was excellent - his quick throws out were superb...

Heard on radio this morning that Jim Harvey, the Morecambe manager, had a heart attack at Saturdays game. All the best to him for a speedy recovery.

Where can I find out which games are going to be on Sky? Are Stanley scheduled for an appearance? Enjoyed the Aldershot v Crawley game the other night. Good advert for the Conference.

I can recommend Million Dollar Baby as one of the best films I've seen for years. Don't miss it!

Watching Corry last night, it occurred to me how much more dramatic it would have been if we hadn't been told in advance that Katy was going to kill Tommy with the monkey wrench. Those people who go on TV or write in the papers giving away future storylines should be sacked. All it does is...

There are some things which happen in life that, when written down, sound so far fetched that you'd be accused of making them up. This occurred to me yesterday when I heard about a well known local person (whose identity I will not reveal) who was bemoaning the company he'd been keeping the...

What did everyone make of having a female referee for the Halifax game last night? I thought she was excellent. She certainly kept the players in check, and was I hearing things when one of the player's reactions to a decision against him was "Ref, please, ref, please!". A bit like a little...

Below are details of a scam currently going the rounds. The police have requested that as many people are alerted as possible. Unfortunately it is a genuine scam. Police Report. The reason this is working so well is it plays on your good will! Picture the scene:- You are sitting at...

REGENERATION boss Nigel Rix has become the latest casualty of Hyndburn Council’s cost-cutting. According to a council insider, Mr Rix, 49, is to be made redundant from his £75,000-a-year post from next week and will not be replaced. The Director of Hyndburn FIRST is thought to be establishing...

Can I call upon the local knowledge of people who have been in Accrington longer than me? What is the history of the building on the corner of Eagle Street and Canon Street? The one currently occupied by the Councils Housing and (I think) Health Departments. It was extended at some time, but...

I had a walk through the new development on Broadway on Saturday prior to going up to the Crown Ground to watch Stanley. Whilst it is a definite improvement on the old outside market, why is there still a feeling that it isn't yet finished? I was surprised to see that there are several units...

Who is Chief Executive at Hyndburn? I remember Chambers and the guy before him who went to become a vicar. And didn't they get shut of the guy before him because he was always drunk? At least they kept appearing in the press as spokesmen for the Council. Nowadays, I don't know who is...
