Council report for sports hub, it seems the club already lead the livingstone road playing fields but would have to give up the lease for the community trust to build on it

Not true, the land is leased to Accrington Football and Sports Club - which isnt Accrington Stanley. THEY must voluntarily surrender the lease before consideration can be given to the venue.

AFSC have, I believe, been offered a number of incentives to do this but after a vote opted to decline. I also believe that said vote was not taken in under the truest of conditions as those who knew of the multiple incentives had not delivered the full picture to everyone involved. This led to a number of resignations. How much is true, and to what extent, I dont know but that is the prelude as to why the Trust have had to look at other less suitable venues
