From the Lanc/Telegraph.Click on the link..Accrington Stanley row could lead to loss of League place

I'll offer labour (free) and whatever tools and materials I can (best discounts available)

but I don't blame HBC at all as we have had two years with which to get this sorted. Last year there was a kerfuffle because we wanted a years extension and they almost didn't get it - so the warning was there.

I blame the residents

Local councillor Malcolm Pritchard who represents the area on Hyndburn Council said: "The residents on Livingstone Road should not have to put up with such an eyesore.

Can you actually see the control room that well from Livingstone Rd ? It's set back quite a way. Presumably councillor pritchard will also be going on a one man crusade for the next 200 years to rid the town of it's other eyesores ?

During the Hyndburn planning meeting held last night, councillors were told by planning officers the club had failed to comply with two conditions to paint the cabin to fit in with the environment and to screen the walkway.

When the club ignore planning requirements maybe the question should be - Do the club want to stay in the league?

Neil shouldn't the question be does Hyndburn want a football league team?.more bum's on seats or more fans in the standing area would help

the residents knew when they moved into them houses that thier is a football pitch behind them so what were they expecting, they proberly dont want it becuase it blocks thier view of the pitch the freeloaders, you see them on the estate behind the cowshed watching from thier houses, thats why they refused the cow shed planning in the past

I was actually being sarcastic blaming the residents, sorry.

but if all that was required was to paint the damn thing and screen it off then Neil's question whether we want to be a league team is perfectly fair. If that ends up costing us anything at all then questions need to be asked.

No it should not. The question should be did the club think it could ignore the planning conditions put upon it and they would disappear?

Thank you, that's the point I was trying to make. If a lick of paint would have kept the planning officers happy then was it not worth it?

We must remember that planning officers have to follow national rules and regulation's and not just Hyndburn ones. I read that it was a close call last year. That should have been a strong message to the club.

I would not want to see anything bad happen to the club personally but you can't blame the Council for enforcing planning requirements.

People are getting a bit confused.. not helped when the telegraph show a picture of the TV gantry over the cow shed as the control room.

But saying that.. arn't you all getting a bit ahead of yourselves.. do you really think the club wont sort a poxy little thing like this out in time.. do you really think they would let us be kicked out of the league... have faith they will sort it... deep down you know they will

A good post, Neil. I agree with what you've said.

I'm no football fan but I wouldn't wish anything bad to happen to the club either.

However, the planning dept cannot go around making exceptions willy nilly or where would it all end?

They have to be seen to be being fair and abiding by the rules for all.

find which polticial party the councillors in question represent.
Go to their nearest opposition and put out a petition.
As soon as they fear they could lose office and their 10 grand a year tax free spare time job, they will soon change their mind.

maccawozzagod · 31-10-2008, 23:43

they have more to worry about than a thousand or so Stanley fans. If they backed down (again) on this then surely that gives the residents of Hyndburn a license to build whatever they want regardless of planning law?
