It defies all logic to alienate the fans. Our most prominent 'unofficial' message board works with the club. At times some things are posted which the club ask to be removed but general critiscism isn't. We also raised just over £27,000 in various competitions, sponsored events etc over the past 12 months which is donated to the youth development of the club.
You've lost generations of fans ( no doubt somebody will tell me whose fault they claim that to be
) and working with them is the only to recover that in years to come.
I've even had to persuade my Stanley mad partner to go to the game today, says it all really !!!
