[Margaret Pilkington]

The recession hits us all in the pockets, and I guess that football clubs around the country are all having to tighten their belts quite a bit.
This must have had an effect, and it doesn't matter how good management are, if the folk can't afford to go through the turnstiles then the money just isn't there.

While I am not a follower of football, I do think that the football club are an asset that we cannot do without....for the reasons stated in other posts.
They do what Peter Britcliffe would love to be able to do......that is, draw attention to the town of Accrington.
I have travelled far and wide and when I say I am from Accrington, everyone has heard of Accrington Stanley.

Accrington Stanley must survive, it is a good focus, a healthy focus for the people of the town.
I applaud all the work that is being done to ensure that the HMRC get their pound of flesh(bleeding Shylocks)!
