Most clubs of our size rely for a great deal of their income on the generous support of sponsors. At Morecambe we have a sponsors' lounge which, because it was built before the days of segregation at matches, happens to be in the away end. Last night some of your so-called fans saw fit to raise their big ASFC banners in front of the sponsors' windows, blocking their view for much of the second half.
This will, no doubt, have seriously impeded their view and ruined their enjoyment of the night's action. These are the very people who help keep clubs like ours alive.
It was a disgraceful act, very childish and spiteful...

...and very, very funny indeed.
Good perormance last night from your ten players and fans. Accy played better football than I've seen from them for a number of years and were hard but fair in the tackle (by and large). I thought the sending off was a no-brainer, he had to go (don't make a fool of yourself Coley) and the ref spent the rest of the game looking to give you whatever he could. Mullin got away with backing in virtually all night and eventually got a penalty from it.
(Don't blame him for trying it on, it's up to the ref to pull him up). Twissy's quality was the difference between us.
Great game though and it will be good to lock horns with eleven Accy players later in the season.
Cracking game.
