This is one of the best ways.

Well done Marcus and all at the Club who are involved.

See as I say we are trying;

Along with the Trust and SDA we are getting out there.

Special mention goes to Sue at SDA, along with the locally based players.

Take a bow Piero, Lidds, Jay Gray and Marcus C. The other lads do assist but it's a challlenge when you live a long away from the town..

Never doubted it, Mr.T.
Keep up the good work.
I'm sure every Stanley-ite appreciates your and the others' efforts, even though it may sometimes appear that some folks find it hard to say it.

Mr T · 02-04-2014, 17:55

Thank you very much.

I'll let the others in the office plus SDA know

of news about how the Trust get involved with the community.

It was also good to see Marcus helping in the shop recently. Well he was in there behind the counter - and I think he was helping!

School visits are ALWAYS a good way to help promote the club.

When I was at school, even having retired Rovers players for an hour or two always promoted the club in a positive light.

Did it make you realise you had to get an education or you end up playing for them ?

I could tell you what his reply was to the till training, but I'd get banned for foul language

In defense of the council, they have just had (and are still having) huge cuts to the amount of funding they receive from central government. They are making cuts to essential services to balance the books. So as much as it would be nice to have some kind of joint project with them, if it involves spending money I doubt very much they'd be able to help out.

True, but whats the defense before they had the cuts?

I suspect it might be "If only 2500 residents are interested in supporting Stanley, the rest won't like us spending council taxes for their benefit"?

On Stanley On !!

Given the low turn out at most municipal elections, I'd have thought that the average crowd at Stanley could easily swing things towards any politician or party that promised to restore positive relations with the town's club. I'm not part of the local electorate but, if I was and there was an election coming up, I'd be writing to the leader of each main party, including the independents, to ask what they intended to do to support Stanley. And I'd let everyone on here know who bothered to reply and who didn't. Maybe something for the OSC to think about?

Neither am I part of the electorate, but what a great call! Also could the club arrange visits of prospective candidates to put their cases (and the club's case) across?

If it's any consolation, any other business in town and residents who pay council tax also get ignored
