Question. If Accrington Stanley was Hogwarts, who would be Lord Voldemort? Who would be Vernon Dursley? And who would be Draco Malfoy?

No prizes for who would be Professor Dumbledore.

What i don't get is when the club say they want to move forward! Thats all they say ALL the time!

How can they think that we will move forward with a non league ground, non league training facilities, non league wages etc.

If they would of said we`d like to stay put in the league, just miss out on relegation every year then maybe we`d all understand it. But we need to move forward or we`ll vanish like so many other teams.

But with players like Razor and Ryan in the team and a management duo we have got then why does the club think they would stay? Because in my eyes i wouldn't! The club needs to move forward like they keep saying, so move forward for a change! Sort the ground out! We've had years to do so! I dont know why they prolong things or make a massive deal out of it! JUST DO IT!

Their WEEing on their own chips with what we could do with this club and funding from a very rich millionaire who loves splashing his cash when it comes to his favourite club!

Fans, Players And Management will all get fed up soon enough!

Management with nothing to spend
Players with a RUBBISH wages, rubbish training ground facilities and a inadequate home ground to play on
Fans being treated like kids and totally bad customer service, WEEing on the ultras (Weve all heard the comments and see ourselves about what this group does) and bad stewarding.

People will soon get fed up! As soon as our club starts on the up we go straight back down!

The fans are being treated atrociously , its as if you go there and they know that whatever they do or say doesn't make any difference because they know that you`ll be back on at Stanley the next week.

ONE STEP FORWARD AND TWO STEPS BACK - ACCRINGTON STANLEY

This is exactly what the problem is! Untill and unless the fans as a whole, not just a handfull, make their feelings known DURING a game (forget half time protests, coz the people that need to hear/see them are safely hidden away in the hospitality areas or the directors lounge) then sod all will change.........dont get me wrong I dont for one minute think doing it once will change anything, it would have to be done at each and every game from then on, get the press involved and really put the fans views across, force them to ask difficult and awkward questions of those incharge of the day to day running (down) of our club so that no one can be in any doubt that Whalley and O'Neil have to give way to a new regime.

I have no doubt that I will be in the minority with my views, but I have held them in for long enough...........I, for one have had enough, its time for direct action.....IMHO

Just a thought...

If flags are banned because the Ultras used pyrotechnics, surely the banning of flags paves the way for the return of said pyro?

I vote CATHERINE WHEELS!

The local media are hopeless. They seem quite content to repeat meaningless (and often deceitful) press releases from the club without any questions being asked.

The Whalley/O'Neill ownership fiasco is ripe for a good investigative journalist - but none is to be seen. From what I read in the press, there is not a single reporter/journalist who has the courage and/or skill to ask the "difficult and awkward questions".

On the assumption that the reporters read this forum, let me suggest some questions.
"Mr O'Neill, do you own Accrington Stanley?"
"Mr O'Neill, could you explain clearly the current position of Mr Whalley vis-à-vis Accrington Stanley?"
"Mr O'Neill, you are on record as saying that you would not invest any money in Accrington Stanley. Could you please confirm that that is still correct?"
"Mr O'Neill, what are your aims and objectives for Accrington Stanley for the next five years? Please provide a year-by-year breakdown of how you will achieve those aims and objectives."
"Mr O'Neill, what was the response to your request, made in July, for individuals to volunteer as directors?"
"Mr O'Neill, does the club have any debts greater than £10,000?"

I'm sure that others can come up with a list of further direct questions. Sadly there is not a reporter in sight who could do so.

I fear that you are 100% right RR..........but it needs to be done

Do u know i think its gone beyond the pail has all this, the stupid 2 honchos think if they bury themselves in the back office close their eyes & we'll go away [and we have sort of except voicing it on here].

As one of the stanley run out songs is 'TIME FOR ACTION'

Lets heed that call!! Im beginning to sence that nothing will happen or nowt will change without giving the club a CLEAR message of sorting the ownership or governance headed by Num & Numpty, words on a forum seems not enough as this sharade is kept going!

Just my thoughts but think the fans need to apply lawful pressure and resistance till change happens, heading this direct at the numpty source not to the team or management duo.
