[Exile on Spencer St]

Let's not get ahead of things. It wasn't the Borough Council which organised the petition. One local Councillor, who understandably feels the need to back the more vociferous of his electorate, does not equate to the Council being obstructive.
I suppose Stanley could ask Blackburn or Burnley if they'd like another league club, ask Ribble Valley if it has some spare land in the AONB, or beg those cash-rich neighbours in Rossendale to find a couple of hectares of flat land.
Let's wait and see what decision is taken, if it comes to that.
