For all those people who said forgive and forget after the attack the Observer made on the club and players instead of celebrating our promotion last season.. Take a look at ths weeks observer.....

A football hooligan whos supports Leeds was arrested at a Burnley v derby game.. But it would seem because he lives in Accy he has been branded an Accy Stanley Yob.. even big headlines saying that.. Some of the content suggests he was part of a larger set of Stanley yobs who tried to attack away supporters last season.. How bad does that make Stanley look ?:(
 
Is what true? .. I read it.. it puts the club in a bad light and I see the club have now issues a statement on the front page of official site

Dunno if what hapened is true or not mate... But we do know there isnt a gang of accy yobs trying to fight apposing supporters dont we.. and thats what they wrote...

Gotta say I am suprised they printed it.. amazed in fact :(
 
Kipax - Is this you reporting things from the official Stanley website ?
 
jeff.. wasnt even on there... Its what i read in the paper I got from asda... nagh nagh :)

loweiy .. yeagh theres a pic of you and the new sponsor mate... :)
 
Think I read somewhere about a grey haired old man in the fans team who did the job of eleven men....

Is that in the Observer.

God, Roll on the new season..............

Your right kipax it is a disgrace, they repeatedly refer to "accrington stanley HOOLIGANS" as if it is fact and even refer to this phrase as coming from the police!!!.

I hope the club do something about this SLANDER :(

Problem is muck STICKS !! and this is dirty muck will make a right mess :(
 
I know the guy in question and he is a Leeds and England thug, the only time he goes to Stanley is for the big cup games where there might be trouble. I remember a few years ago when he was first to be arrested at a cup game v Fleetwood it was the first game my wife had seen and she was discussed by his behaviour and hasn't been back since. As you said just because he lives in Accrington there was no need to link him to Stanley.
 
Slander slander wheres my solicitor ............ cheers Loweiy :confused: what do you mean at training hehehehe :)





 
I am disapointed with this being in the locals, but on the other side of the coin the papers are only reporting on what the police have said. Considering that the numbskull in question is a Leeds fan and was arrested in Burnley after a match with Derby I find the police statement beyond belief. If he lived in Padiham would the police have called him a 'Padiham FC Hooligan'??? I think not.....
 
I assume that the Observer send a reporter to our matches - in which case they should have 'observed' that there is no hooligan element at Stanley. Seems like either some tired old hack couldn't be bothered to use his brains or a whizz-kid ace reporter doesn't know how to use them. Either way what is an editor for but to use experience to eliminate (excuse me) d--kh--d reporting. Personally haven't bought a paper for years because you can't trust what is printed - suggest you local lads 'n lasses boycott the rag. Am I bitter ? - YEAH !
 
obviously ive not seen the article but the guy is leeds supporter was at a burnley game and just happens to live in accy....the police and or the observer should be bright enough to know stanley dont have a holligan problem.

the club should be really pushing for a the observer to print a correction....on the front page not buried amongst the ads.

as a fairly new follower of stanley i can honestly say that stanley fans home and away are the friendlist i have met and the few games i have been able to attend have passed off without the slightest hint of trouble quite the opposite.

this idiot and his burberry clad mates arent football hooligans they are just hooligans plain and simple....rant over!!
 
Maybe the Accy Observer should team up with the Daily Mirror so that we could all see some excelent piccy's of Stanley fans bringing shame and disgrace on the club and town. For instance, we could have.....

Piccy (1) - taken from behind - of a Stanley fan (in Claret & Blue shirt) urinating over a Millwall supporter, with a picture of the Den in the background.

Piccy (2) of another Stanley fan (with a Manchester United Program sticking out of his back pocket) putting the boot into the crotch of some unfortunate individual who has been bound and gagged with his own blue-and -white shirt....

Lovely stuff. Just use your imagination and then write and publish any old rubbish you see fit.
 
Why dont we all write to the Accy Observer and complain, with everyone on these boards they may even get the message that we think they are :thumbsdow and dont know what they are talking about :idunno: the only problem that I can see would be finding someone who could be objective:type: and not use all the letters as a compliment that people actualy take the rag seriously and not what it should be used for :pain30: :moon: or we should just send them this smiley :thefinger .
 
This is from todays Lancashire Evening Telegraph.

We've no louts, says Stanley chief
THE chairman of Accrington Stanley and the police today spoke out to reassure fans that the Reds were a football hooligan-free club.

Eric Whalley and PC Les Sholicar joined forces to send out the message after a lout, initially said to be connected to the club, was given a football banning order.

***** ********, of Oswald Street, Accrington, was referred to at Burnley Magistrates' Court as an 'Accrington Stanley hooligan' even though he is a Leeds United fan.

He was given the three-year banning order for hurling threats and insults at a man 15 minutes after the final whistle of the game between Burnley and Derby on April 24.

The court was told that it had been a coincidence that he had been in Burnley town centre so soon after the game.

Mr Whalley said: "It was a bit disappointing that the court was told something like that. It was nothing to do with Accrington Stanley. It is a family club and we pride ourselves that we try to look after everybody.

"Certainly over the past 12 months we have never had hooligan elements."

PC Sholicar, licensing officer for Accrington with responsibilities for policing football, said there had been no incidents of disorder in the vicinity of Accrington Stanley's Interlink Express Stadium this season, following a trend set in previous years.

He added: "We want to get across the message that there is no hooligan element attached to Accrington Stanley.

"Unfortunately he has been described as an Accrington Stanley hooligan but I certainly would not say that -- ******** is a Leeds fan."

Stanley average 1,797 for home games. By comparison, neighbouring Blackburn Rovers, average 24,282, are said to have 25 known troublemakers, while Burnley, average 12,255, have more than 50.
