Tell us where this strange feeling comes from.The last time I spoke to Peter Marsden it seems the Council are only interested in what revenue they can extract from the club and are always looking at ways they can actually increase the revenue......we await your response with baited breath.

Re: How to increase attendances?
Peter Marsden has been doing a lot of positive work in the background with regards to the lease and rent paid to HBC.

I'll check with him when he's ready to release information but I can 100% confirm Accrington Stanley paid rent and council tax to Hyndburn Council.

I'll re-read some of this thread later today and try to repond to the many questions/points being raised.

Re: How to increase attendances?
At the end of the day for the Borough to have one of only Seventy Two Football League Clubs should be a massive plus.

At the same time we have not had an illustrious history of working alongside them but no reason why it can't work for both and become the "Jewel in the Crown".

Sorry sir I've seen the lease signed by John Alty and we've always paid rent. 7 years ago there may have been sponorship deals in place to "off-set" rent paid but not any more.

It wouldn't be Council Tax it would be non domestic rates as it's a business property. There seems to be a big increase in the rateble value in the 2010 revaluation compared to the 2005 one

Its you that should apologize for " End of conversation " Which was a childish way to discuss.
