Apologies to all for mentioning the blasted apostrophe in the first place - after all, it's only a jumped-up comma, isn't it ?

Extra apologies to Macca for forcing him to spend hours on-line defending himself

I won't do it again, I promise !

I know, that's why they thought it was a new business (pub) showing their support for Accy Stanley by producing a promotional t-shirt.
I can see why they thought that, I suppose thats why feedback is important before lots of money is spent.

If it doesn't work then it's OSC money that is lost. The OSC will have the take the brunt of mismanagement, if it was a decision taken by their elected representatives and the wrong decision was made.

Personally, I don't like it and I think it cheapens the product, while enhancing its tinpottedness.

Whatever the opinion u have to give Macca credit for his efforts on behalf of the OSC, saw him earlier in town running round like a mad dog getting the stuff he needed for the OSC do, & sorting merchandise out in his time & the commitment he has put into - you have to give the guy credit for it

I've sent my opologies for not being able to go [for good reasons!!] but hope it is a success & hope the merchandising takes off, but expect some people will take some convincing tho. Good luck to the committee, cos at least its trying & producing new ideas into the OSC

Ok your opinion but not sure why it cheapens the product when we are hoping to produce products that people want and in some cases the club don't provide.... some have been mentioned in threads before...

In my opinion, the product looks amateurish if the logo is mis-spelled or incorrect in any other way. OK, so it gets people talking about it, but they aren't talking positively, they are laughing at it.
Stanley have for so long been a laughing stock and continue to be so. I don't think products with Stanleys' on it are going to change people's opinions.

I am 100% in support of this venture and truly hope that it is successful. I just wouldn't buy a product with Stanleys' on it. That's all.

Why whenever you speak do I feel depressed?

Be positive for once! I personally am writing into Oxford dictionary to get them to reconsider the English language...

Should there not be a capital "s" at the start as well?

ossyclogger · 19-05-2007, 11:03

It's just such a great pity that we have so many whinging nitpickers on the forum . No matter how hard people work for the benefit of the club (e,g,Rob) these other people would rather sit on their butts and look for faults rather than come along and help .

Keep up the good work Rob , and don't let the beggars grind you down .

Kettle, pot, calling, black. Rearrange these words into a well known saying.

Bagpuss...below the Stanleys' logo it states "supporting accrington stanley"

and some of the t-shirts with the coley image will clearly demonstrate what we are about.... as macca has pointed out we have to keep the design completely away from ASFC's as we didn't want our merchandise being confused with theirs... hence using the name stanleys'

tbh any feedback is good as we can then build on it for the future merchandising we may indulge in...

we're new at this and we're trying...very trying

well if eric buys the crown he can rename it stanleys' then the supporters club can be based there problem solved stanleys' the home of the supporters club..supporting accy stanley hey presto

That'd be brilliant, Stanleys' bar right outside the ground with its own readymade merchandise! Sadly, I think the rumour may prove to be unfounded. How about a whipround to raise the £27,500 for the 5-year lease and then install Macca as manager?!!

Nice Idea Mr Harris, what do you think the turnover would be.
