If the club had any sense they would have turned this criticism/comment/call-it-what-you-will around and used it to their advantage. A prime example is Macca...he's forever posting on here with a multitude of fresh ideas about how to improve things. The club could have sat down with him, talked his ideas through and maybe some good things would have come out of it. But no, he's just an ordinary fan, so let's ignore him...what does he know about running a football club?

And now the club have just pushed their collective heads a little further in the sand, by cutting the link from t'fishy site. So now the messageboard doesn't officially exist, there's no criticism and everything's hunky dory.

...what the club may find harder to ignore are more gates like yesterday's..but, of course, as we all know, that's just the fault of apathetic Accringtonians!

A very good point well said/put!!!
