Liverpool born & bred but having said that, the last couple of matches I've paid to go & watch have been Stanley ! Sort of tells you something about my approach to footie ! (I've even promised Wynn I'll be across next year)

Anyway, who in their right mind would want to support a subsidiary of an Indian chicken burger factory?

Another testimonial from a satisfied customer! Persuaded yet, Maggie?

You don't have to know that much about financing Wyn to know a football league club can't survive on 1400 gates, that's simple economics, not rocket science, and since went have facts been smear tactics, there's no so blind than those who refuse to see. Every week I always check Stanley's gate just to find out if I'm near with my predictions, my other have, who knows sod all bout football mentioned the other week that Stanley aren't very well supported, on that particular day the next lowest was close on a thousand more now she does know quite a lot about financing. I really can't understand why you always say I'm knocking Stanley, when thats so far from the truth, I supported the Save Stanley campaign, which cost me around £200 and have, for around ten years, supported their weekly draw, but I suppose the bee all and end all is standing on the terraces, which incidentally I didn't even do when I was a regular attender at Ewood

As Dave has already pointed out, gates aren't everything, there are other income streams and I would predict a modest but successful future for Stanley as a genuine community club.

As for the money you've put into the club, thank you, but it would seem a strange thing to do if you really believe your contention that Stanley "can't survive". Why would a sensible chap like yourself throw good money after bad? Or is it that you know perfectly well that Stanley can survive, but you're trying to entice a potential new fan to the Rovers?

Well lets hope your right and Stanley do not only survive but go from strenth to strenth, but I still say unless gates improve it will be a struggle

Believe me, Jay, as results start to improve and things change behind the scenes, they will. By the time Maggie comes to watch us, we'll be thriving!

Re: Football teams - Who are you for?

There you go Maggie, you got them going again but it,s all in fun??? You won,t regret going "up Stanley" the atmosphere is unique and the beer aint bad either. I,ve been a Stanley lad since the mid 50s and it,s as good now as it,s ever been.
