spectator or "supporter"... I have spent many thousands of my well earned money watching rovers over the last 30 years home and away...and when things are not good enough i have every right to say what i feel, good. bad, positive or negative...i am blackburn rovers along with the other 20 odd thousand so what we say should be listened to...just think if we did what stanley fans do and sit at home...we'd be in the same predicament..NO MONEY NO HOPE !! having to keep a manager because we know we wouldnt be able to attract another who would put up with the crap the club throws at him...:tongueout:hesoff:...il let you decide ..spectator or "supporter"

Here we go again :rolleyes:...Accrington is probably the smallest town in the football league, it has a premiership and a championship club on its doorstep and at least a couple of generations have grown up without a league club in the town and have, thus, formed allegiances towards clubs from bigger places. So is it any wonder that crowds are currently small? As for Coley, I would imagine that Eric keeps him because he is doing what no other manager has ever done - keeping a club in the league on gates of around 1,600.

As for your charge of "no money no hope", yes, we don't have much dosh, but no hope?...We're 14th division in two and either beating or holding our own against Luton, Bournemouth, Chesterfield and the like. Ten years ago we wouldn't have dared to dream that we'd be in such a position. So, no hope?...no way! Personally, I'm happier in football terms than I've ever been in my life and I would imagine that most of our fans are, too!

So, if you want to have a pop at Ince, that's your prerogative, but don't have a go at Stanley...we deserve more credit than that! :)
 
It's pretty obvious by now that Ince is a man promoted way beyond his own abilities. The only questions that remain are when will he go, who will replace him, and does anyone in Accy really give a ****?

I agree with everything you've said Wynonie, I can remember some years ago when John Alty was chairman, and Ken Hargreaves (who was the MP at the time) spent a lot of time at Stanley, and they had a, I think it was a ten year plan to gain league status. It took a few years more, but after Mr Alty left and Eric took over, what has been done since then is nothing short of a miracle, especially as you said being stuck between two relatively bigger clubs and the lose of two generations of supporters, they (Copy and Eric) deserve all the plaudits they are given
 
Maybe the appointment of Ince is a good thing on one hand.... The "true" Rovers fans will be able to talk to each other at the games after all the "gloryboys" post 1994 have gone back to Debenhams or whereever they used to go on a Saturday before the Premiership runied & greed ruined football

The life of an Accy fan is so much easier

The problem is it goes further down than the Premiership now, only the scale of it changes. The working man is being priced out of football at all levels, but as Wynonie said earlier

Fortunately, most of us on here, whether we're Stanley, Rovers or Burnley fans, believe in concepts like "loyalty" and "commitment" and supporting our club, even in the bad times.

In some ways and I mean this respectfully, I envy Stanley fans, the level they are currently at means they are still on the fringe of what we all love about the game. In fairness to those lot in Blue & white ( can't beleive I'm sticking up for them :eek: ), all succesful clubs have glory hunting fans, even Stanley did in the conference days.

anyway back to thread, lets see Ince given his contract extension :D
 
i think ince should be given longer a year r so to many times we see clubs bring in managers than couple of games of loseing and drawing and they sack them! hes got no top flight experience! i think he will do good at rovers and if he dont am sure eric would love to welcome a few more unhappy rovers fans a stanley

Oh come on dave thought you'd be shouting Coyle out after your lot losing and drawing to Donny and Barnsley, and being out played by Donny too:D

You've summed up your attitude to football supporting brilliantly there. For you, it's like going into a supermarket to choose a tin of beans...or soup. Got fed up of one brand?...don't worry, it's easy to switch to another. Fortunately, most of us on here, whether we're Stanley, Rovers or Burnley fans, believe in concepts like "loyalty" and "commitment" and supporting our club, even in the bad times.

And, Mancie, I might support a "souped up pub team", but they're MY team, who I've supported through thick and thin. That's something you will never be able to say!

Hang on ere!..I've "supported" United for almost 40yrs!..when I say "supported" I mean paying mi money to watch them and they are my team. My dad took me to Ewood when I was 5 or 6yrs...i carried on for a few years...when we moved to Accy my new mates went to Burnley ... I even went to the old Peel Park to watch Stanley when they were'nt in the League!!! Does that make me a Stanley supporter???

Now don't start carping onto me about loyalties...I chose to support United after going to Old Trafford in the early 70's :alright:
 
40-odd years of watching football and you still haven't got the hang of this supporting lark, have you, Mancie, lad? You don't choose a football team, it chooses YOU! Rovers chose you, when your old fella started taking you along. That should've been it - your team for life. It matters not that you moved to Accy and fell in with Dingles-supporting mates. If you really understood the essential spirit of a true football supporter, you would have said: "be off with you to your Turf Moor, I shall return to Ewood, the ground that my father took me to as a small boy, for just as my father supported the Rovers so shall I, until the end of days." Get the picture? ;)
 
No I ain't got the picture nor the sense...your'e trying to say that were ever my dad first took me to a football game then that is it? be all end all!...rubbish..my dad was from Wales and moved to Blackburn for work...if he had taken me to watch Phrestatyn I'm supposed to support them????..... your knowlege of football has obviously been limited by an arrogant "glory am I" attitude because you chose to support your team... you chose to stand in the **** rain to watch cloggers hoofing a bag of leather... I chose otherwise.

I support my team because it's in my blood and has been since I was nine...and I still support 'em (although I don't stand in the rain anymore because we've got a roof now) and I'm proud of it. I didn't go out shopping for a team and think "oh yes, they're quite good...and you get prawn butties, as well, I think I'll start supporting them." Did you look at the Which Guide To Football Clubs before you made your choice? Plastic Mancs eh...don't you just love 'em? :D

I suppose everybody is entitled to support who they want, that's why you read texts on Teletext from FB from Plymouth who's a life long Manc and would know the where abouts of Old Trafford to save their lives. I can understand people from Accy supporting Rovers and Burnley, because there was no Stanley for so many years. Like you said about being in your blood, my father took me to Ewood for the first time when I was 6 and that's it, plus all my mates were Rovers Fans also. But having said that I did go and watch Stanley prior to 63 and I still like to see them doing well, because I'm interested, If I wasn't I wouldn't go anywhere near the Stanley section on this site.
