Why not read my whole comments I went on to say Or if you consider yourself supporting the team please explain how you are supporting them if you stay away.

As for giving Macca a place on the Board Kiwi John. How much would you expect him to invest in the Club to become a Director ?

Jeff, you can actually be invited to join the Board of Directors of a company without having to be a shareholder or chucking in some money.

John & others,

To my knowledge to be a director of a private company you need to be a shareholder.

EW has made it no secret that if there are generous rich individuals out there, they can join the board as an associate director. Everybody's case is different so if you want to come on board feel free to get in touch and I'm sure the Chairman will outline whats required!!:rolleyes:

Southern - Could a few of us put some cash in and get involved? or does he just want our cash and not our opinions!!
 
When we lived in tenerife during the last 2 seasons accy were in non-league football i travelled over 5 times for home matches.Breakdown is 1/flights average 300 euros = 1500 euros,2/fuel from Devon to accy on those occations approximately £300 3/admission fees to accy £60,4/accomodation in accy overnight £125,total=approximately £1500.Does that classify me as a supporter or fan?God knows what it would cost kiwi john to do that,he may not be able to get to see us play but he still has Accy in his heart,keep the faith kiwi your still a supporter in my eyes mate.


ACCY TILL I DIE.:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
 
:)Found this while i was surfing the net though it right to share it:) A few years after Stanley's resignation, Alan Benson, then the Mayor of Accrington, was interviewed in the Football League Review, and his comments are tinged with a bitter regret: "People do not realise just how important a League club is to a town's status and prestige until it is too late. Accrington was known nationally by reason of its soccer team. When you travelled to another part of the country and mentioned where you were from, people immediately linked Accrington to its football club. Now they say, 'Ah, the town which couldn't keep its football team'. Accrington Stanley could have survived with the proper backing."
Forty years down the line, the matter is irrelevant. But you can learn from mistakes. Today, another Accrington Stanley carries the town's standard in the football world. It isn't the same team that competed in the Football League, but that shouldn't matter. It is still our town's team. Forty years after Accrington lost her Football League status, I can't think of a better commemoration than for all of us - the town together - to make our way to the Crown Ground and take responsibility for the Accrington Stanley we are fortunate to have today.
 
a lot in what alan benson said, still have bitter regrets meself, n its a lifetime ago, ta fer that mab.;)

Don't know about your laws, but over here and,I believe, in Aus, you most certainly can be a director of a private company WITHOUT holding shares.
( ..someone could always sell Macca 1:D )

Not 100% sure without looking, but I'm pretty sure that's from Phil Whalley's book. The problem is that the people of Accrington AREN'T making their way to the Crown Ground/FES. Average gates are down again this season (1,577 from 1,634 last season). My personal opinion is that Eric should be looking round for someone to buy the club and invest the sort of money that would make it a more attractive Saturday afternoon option to local football fans. If he's not going to do that, then he should at least be listening to fresh ideas from the likes of Macca. Sitting in the boardroom, asking people to make large-scale investments in order to become "associate directors", and alternately blaming the townspeople for their apathy is NOT going to work!

Reading that article, it's just as relevant today as it was in the late fifties/early sixties. The Parallels are uncanny.
 
Just had a thought (and I could be wrong) I have not seen this 'Event' advertised on the Accy Website!! Wonder how else they are marketing this:confused::confused:

Maybe, just maybe it is a good job that us losers spend our time on this site!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...................:rolleyes:

Sportsman's Dinner

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gents (sorry ladies)

The Directors of ASFC are in the process of organising a Sportsman's Dinner in the Buy the House Lounge (Sportsbar) on Friday 20th of February.

This is an open invite to all fans of the club, with a particular empahise on the exiles to join us on a evening of merriment. ( we were critised on the message board at the last dinner for not offering an open invite)

We have booked Martin Dobson ( ex Burnley, Everton & England) as the guest speaker and Mike Kelly (TV Comic) as the speakers, with a top class 4 course meal.

The idea of a Friday before on home game (v D&R) is that long distance supporters could do the dinner and the match in one weekend. Discounts for the dinner + basic hospitality for the match have been arranged.

The dinner is selling now at £30 per ticket.

PM me on here or leave your details as the FES and we'll be in touch

PS Can this be "stickied" for a while???


Sorry.
