I tend to agree that something has to be generated from the outside to bring it to the inside and I mean from a non footballing point of view (if that makes sense). I also agree a lounge is probably not the way to go unless it can be multi use
The problem too much of the time is the constant firefighting that goes on in and around the Club, it's one thing going from day to day but there has to be a business plan, a long term plan it all amounts to the same thing.
The Community Team are doing their bit with the kids getting out and about into the schools, academy and soccer schools these will prove invaluable in years to come in building up the supporter base with future generations.
The Academy has started to prove itself in terms of scholars coming through to be pro's.
The reality is here and now, I want to see the Club thrive become the hub of Accrington as a Town and become the focal point for Hynburn.
My own view is that something would need to be done in terms of the building some kind of leisure facility that could perhaps be funded by grants, for use by the whole community if nothing else it could possibly generate an income seven days a week and bring people into contact with the club who would normally not go anywhere it or if not that maybe some kind of learning facility again that could generate it's own grants and income. I am no expert on these matters by a long way and could be barking up the wrong tree but I do know there are many avenues that can be explored.
