Posted via Mobile Device. Keep digging the bob lord **** up again when things go tits up but stanley then and stanley now must accept their owners got stanley in the mess in the 1st place and thus where the problem started! Easy to etch blame on those than finalised it be it lord or be it taxman. Thats the one major thing for me about don he has accepted this and is willing to do something about it he,s inherited it and for once hope that it wont go back that way again or im sure there would be no club, as the older generation haven't forgot the last time and now this, there wont be a next time.
A good point SM !, but wouldn't you agree that then was then, and now is NOW ...Different times-differing circumstances, and how the face of Football has changed since that shattering and emotive intervention of Bob Lord so long ago !.
But today's Status Quo exists, and the emergency facing our Club is as real, if not more pressing than that facing the Stanley in 'the bad old days'.
Yet it would appear that from all the mechanisms for survival and future growth of 'The Reds' which have, and are now presenting themselves as potential strategies for this purpose, by far outstrip those efforts able to made to save the Club in those far off, but never forgotten days!.
Is not this then a situation which can offer to us all a measure of optimism and assurance that all will be well ?....and I'm not wearing my Red-tinted spectacles as I put forward this opinion!!.
As many have said on our Forum....If there ever was a time in the history of Accrington Stanley which demanded real ACTION and less of the constant literal analysis of political and fiscal convolutions at 'The Crown', then it is NOW !!......the scenario which will be consequent to a failure to meet the struggle facing everyone involved, just cannot be imagined !..
So..'ON...ALL WHO LOVE 'THE STANLEY!!...ON!.
Posted via Mobile Device They would charge accordingly as a friendly davo. Gratefully accept owt we get imho, its a bit of a swipe comment, whats everton doing for us even more whats big sam's rover's doing for us? Dont see any offers from elsewhere but bury and burnley whom are and have supported our club not fair to nit pick
The friendly was mentioned on the football league show.
Fair play to the Clarets for offering A.S.F.C. a great opportunity to help us raise the money in our hour of need. Whatever happened in '62, a.k.a. Bob Lord and all........ at least they're offering their help.
Unlike their bitter rivals in my home town.( I'd like to say up to press.... )but if the attitude of their "fans" is anything to go by, then I'm not over optimistic about Rovers helping us out.
After a drink in my local tonight, celebrating a fantastic win (at our neighbours and good friends at Bury) I can only hope that they follow Burnley's lead....
Somehow I doubt it.
I can only say....that despite the current plight of Stanley, the people I spoke with tonight were....( bearing in mind I have a good command of the English Language)........
Condescending.....Arrogant.......Iggnorant.....and self important...The rules of this forum dictate that I cannot use expletives to add to these. Bear that in mind.
I hope I have only experienced a narrow minded sample of the opinion of Rovers fans in general.
Lest they forget, that before a certain steel magnate put a vast amount of money into their club and saved them from lower league football, they were on the brink of the Abyss.
But for Jack Walker, Blackburn Rovers would have NEVER won the Premier League, let alone be anywhere near it and maybe if Mr. Walker's money had not transpired,Rovers would be languishing in lower league football.....which I am proud to say...I watch proper football.
I only hope that the sample of Rovers fans, I have had the misfortune to drink with tonight, are among a very small minority.
Not everyone gets a suggar daddy with a bottomless pit of cash, which, he deems fit, to transform, a down on it's luck club and it's run down facilities, into League Title winners.
And before all the Rovers fans with more humps than a herd of camels start having a go.... remember that Ewood Park with the holes??? Remember signs in front of the old Blackburn End...." No bad Language please ...Don"....
Before Walker put his money there Rovers were an average side......they might have even dropped back to the third tier ( as they did in the late seventies / early eighties ) or even dropped lower....who knows.
Without his generosity where would they be now ????

Would think it's more likely to be £10 and £5
As a few have said it is a friendly.... An S.O.S. One at that
Would think it's more likely to be £10 and £5
I think you may be right. It won't be £7 or £8 otherwise they will be running to the local shops every 2 minutes asking for spare pound coins
I wonder what the turn out will be? I was hoping for loads, but a few people yesterday said they were thinking nearer the 1000 mark.
Posted via Mobile Device Carpon excellent post mate couldn't put it better, a subject exactly i have said for years to my rover supporting relatives. Seems the attitude of those supporters have always been 'im alright jack' excuse the pun.
I hope I'm wrong but I think unlikely to be no more than 2,000. The hierarchy at Burnley are doing there best to rally the troops, even to the extent of already announcing that Nugent will make his debut. It's difficult to call
Thanks for the info LDNow confirmed as £10 for adults and £5 for concessions.
Cashman admittance price is £20 as it's an extra priveledge for him
Lets hope at those prices we get a really big crowd 
What is the feeling about the crowd numbers from a Claret point of view?? Just seen above posts!
Posted via Mobile Device If the attendance is 1000 or 10000, what should that matter and wouldn't be no dis respect, all helps and would be a huge boost to the fund kitty and a great move forward to clearing the debt in space of an hour or 2,
where is it confirmed dave? can find sod all on fishy site.Now confirmed as £10 for adults and £5 for concessions.

by the way i'm suprised there letting ME in that cheap.
cheers mab, still waiting fer ok from the tossers at the premier league though.
gonna leave very little time to publise it in media.
No disrespect meant in anyway SM
Just my mind ticking/thinking, 1000 gate = £X, 2000 gate = 2 x £X and so on Like you say it all helps, but the sooner that thermometer reaches £308K The sooner we can all start to breathe a sigh of relief and then brace ourselves for the next Stanley crisis, because lets face it, it will only be around the corner
