The second article seems very contradictory. He talks a lot about Stanley's problems and says

Quote:

Greg Clarke, the league’s chairman, is clearly committed to making clubs run on a more sustainable basis.

, yet we know Greg Clarke's views on Stanley from this weeks visit

Quote:

Mr Clarke was pleased with what he saw.
"It has the feel of a proper football club, run by people who really, really care about the community and the club."

Maybe this forum is running short of news for the LT to pick up on and the journalist concerned is just trying to find another way of not having to leave the office and find some news

Some very interesting points of view in this thread from both people.

Everybody knows my view on those idiots still messing about around our club.
Whilst they are still at the helm, there is no way we will ever progress that is quite clear to all.

As with the ground, its clearly not up to standard as we all know, its Blue Square standard at best, yet we wont do anything to try and improve it in the long term.
Its always "just in time" to satisfy the next regulation. Its embarrassingly poor in terms of League 2.

As for the flag ban, it is ridiculous , and no doubt in my mind it has destroyed everything the Ultra's have tried to do at games since there inception. Yes it was ridiculous to set a smoke bomb off, when they had been warned, but as others have pointed out, with CCTV why not just ban the individual , and not kill the entire ground atmosphere.

In my view, it is quite clear the club want shut of the whole "ultra's" movement which considering what they have done for the club in the last few years is an absolute disgrace.

My own personal opinion is I want a community club that the fans have a key role to play in now and for the future, that is the way forward in my mind.

Nobody is bigger than the Club

So, reading between the lines, I assume that means you want 'em out.

Now I suppose you'll come back and accuse me of putting words in your mouth.

Were you a politician in a previous life?

No just somebody brought up with a trait of respecting people

I know Google Page Ranking and he is nothing like a politician, rather than sitting on his backside moaning he is the chair of the OSC and commits a lot of his time to things associated with this. The OSC is one of the avenues we should be utilising in order to try and move things forward whether that be through protesting or engaging in conversation with the Management at the club.

Me too. But people have got to earn respect. The people who currently run this club have done nothing to earn the fans' respect. That's why it's no good telling us we're all in it together from the top to the bottom. Until O'Neill and Whalley have gone, there will be no togetherness at this club no matter how much you might want it to happen.

It was a tongue-in-cheek remark, hence the winking smiley, but never mind. I don't sit in my backside, I turn up for most home matches and a fair few away ones too, therefore I'm entitled to express my opinions, even if they clash with the chairman of the supporters' club.

My remark was just to back up my opinion of Google Page Ranking wasn't meant to demean you in respect of your support for the club as I don't know you personally. Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion as well, just like you I go on all the home games and any away games that I can.

If you look at my original post I did say "that is how it should be"

It's no use infighting that helps no one

OK, no offence taken, mate. It's O'Neill and Whalley we should be directing our venom at!
