What with low players wages (by far the lowest in L2 I am informed) low gates, and poor overall facilities, we were favourites for relegation at the start of the season.

As far as I see it, we are like a 10stone featherweight boxer in the ring against heavyweights, and should be expected to lose every time. By the sheer fact that we are still a league club is fantastic, and the management team should be praised - not criticised!!

Don't tell me that Macclesfield, Dagenham, Bury, Barnet, Chester, etc. have more money than Stanley, have bigger budgets than Stanley, pay better wages than Stanley. All this about Stanley having no money, limited budgets, etc is just crap. Nearly every team in league two has no money, limited budgets, etc. Although other clubs get bigger gates than Stanley, the other clubs are paying thousands of pounds a week in interest to the banks for the debt they are in. Reportedly Stanley are not. So all in all it is not far off a level playing field, it is just that a lot of the other clubs are better managed.
