What a fantastic video - that's one of the best bits of media our club has ever produced, whoever is responsible should be very proud.

Genuinely quite moved by that interview. Wouldn't it be brilliant if the club made more like it and tried to document the clubs history since it was reformed up until present day.

Unfortunately as time goes on there will be less people around from that era, is really important we get their memories on record.
 
John Prescott and John Alty didn't get the credit they deserve for the effort they put in. John P stood aside to allow John A to be chairman. John P was a true "custodian" chairman, as he simply didn't have access to the finance to move the club forward's ( neither did anybody else!)

John Alty had the drive, had access to raise and borrow money ( mainly to improve the pitch) then improve the clubhouse so the club could improve income. Sadly John wanted instant success on the field which resulted in numerous late night Board meetings. The outcome of some was a cut in the managers budget and at the next one another sacking/ resignation!!
 
Loved John Alty, true gent to this day and always asks how people are - by name. Last I saw him he snook off to the bar and a got a large round in for the group to be delivered after he'd gone, touch of class
 
Another one for the Media Team to "interview"

A list is being complied, thanks Darren Woodhead for some good suggestions.

Any more ideas or do we need a new thread??
 
Hour of Stanley chat 6pm on radio Lancashire, be available for catch up with Dan Jewell, interview with Mark Hughes and few fans too
