I'm still around KSH, but not being able to go the FES, I don't have much to offer on recent issues, although I'll volounteer this one: For the manager not to speak to the local paper is unprofessional, no matter how unprofessional he thinks they've been. (Sorry wrong thread).
But I'm sure he'll find a new forward soon. He seems to do that when the team concedes too many.
I don't think Stanley merged with anyone. Accrington FC just ceased to be, and Stanley took over as the premier club in town. They were already Accrington Stanley by then. The clubs even shared Moorhead for a season, but never played each other.
