Not wound up as such on the initial joke but its more the confusion as to whether it is or not upon the 2nd, i thought jokes were supposed to be funny - tho not universally on this one, as much as they have got that as u say, but the flipside is that people dont know what to beleive for sure as club have both clarified & not clarified at the same time & to me has spoilt the hard work the club have done lately - as some have said may put off people getting season tickets - friday will tell wont it as to what effect it has as to how united it makes us:D
 
Rob Heys has just been on talksport (13:35) talking about the name.
Good bit of exposure getting on national radio.
 
you seriously think they club with one of the most famous names in football will consider a name change??? that they make money in merchandise through every season by just having that name


jeesh :(

I wouldnt put anything past Eric TBH:D Tho i think aiming for 'Lancashire' rather than 'Accrington', being that it covers more population that the township, in his eyes would make more money:rolleyes:...............hence why it is conceivable.
 
Rob said that not only would the name be changed to 2BR FM Stanley but also Jimmy and John are changing their names in a bid to avoid action by the league following their recent brushes with match officials:eek:







It's a joke, it's a joke' it's a joke:rolleyes:



Accrington and Harwood Stanley has a ring to it

If several fans who they have wound up decide they don't like being taken the pee out of and refrain from buying season tickets it wouldn't matter would it, after all they have the rest of the world to aim at with all the free publicity. :rolleyes:

You can always guarantee that if any business in the world can alienate themselves from their most loyal customers then football clubs can do it better than anybody else. :)
 
Let's be honest if we were winning every game 7-0 you wouldn't be able to swing a cat
in the place (except in the away end maybe)

Winning teams increase gates ask any director in any club

Accrington Stanley and Oliver how about that?
 
TOWN DOSENT DESERVE US - Telegraph front page.
"without a doubt it was a bit of fun and an april fool. But the more we think about it, the more it makes sense." Rob Heyes.

What a joke. I wont be supporting LSUFC and it wouldnt make any difference to gates its not as if lancashire/northwest isnt blessed with over a dozen league teams is it. If we cant tap into our own towns taken fans then i dont expect any other towns fans descending on the fes. What sort of club comes up with these pathetic headline grabbing ideas. What a laughing stock we are becoming. If they want the place full look seriously at the walk on prices and season tickets as i have stated before and many dont like it we are a POOR, LOW EMPLOYMENT, LOW INCOME area and this IS a major factor. Mr whalley slag the economics of the area off before slagging people of the town off. For unemployment only places that are worse are Tower Hamlets - London. With immigrants flooding the area expect things to get worse as jobs are hard to come by and if your lucky enough to get a job on the nationial minimum wage your still not going to have enough to go football if you have an family, house, car to run. So the prices have to be reflected with the areas economics.
 
What's even more crass about this whole issue is that the Blackburn Telegraph are running a poll to see if people think the name should be changed. :eek:
 
So, if the whole thing was a joke, the press won't be too happy at being bamboozled. What happens when there really is a major story that the club want to publicize? I would imagine that the press will be very wary of getting involved!
