I was over the moon at Stanleys initial resurgance but after the above events and a first team player talking to a friends dad with utter contempt in players lounge towards end of last season,all sympathy for the playing team particularly is rapidly disappearing.Sorry to offend and hope its a case of ON STANLEY ON...Then maybe the club can give something back to the town

There were six in total arrested with Stevie Gerrard that night so how do you know that our two players were 'the main instigators' - were you there? Yes, they were involved but at least they held there hands up, were sentenced accordingly & have apologised publicly - unlike the famous Stevie G who was declared innocent even though there was footage of him punching the bloke.
The betting scam made all true Stanley fans sick to the stomach - but these players are gone now and the club itself was not to blame.
Lastly, pray tell me where our 'players lounge' is - we do not have one, unless you mean the sports bar where everyone is welcome & I can honestly say I do not believe any of our players would abuse anyone in there unless they'd maybe been given a mouthful themselves - even then most of them would simply walk away. If you don't want to donate - thats fine and is your perogative but don't make up stories as an excuse not to.
