Re: "red letter day ??"
According to the a-board outside, the Telegraph headline says 'Tax Bill to be paid tommorow'. It's not online yet and as much as I would love to tell you the full story I'm afraid it's a paper I won't part with my money for

Re: "red letter day ??"
Article now online;
UNDER pressure chairman Dave O'Neill has told Accrington Stanley’s fans to leave the sleepless nights to him as D-Day for the cash-strapped club approaches.
Stanley must repay £308,000 to the taxman on Wednesday to avoid being wound up – and O’Neill is confident the bill will be paid tomorrow.
Speaking to the Lancashire Telegraph, O’Neill declared: “Yes we are going to beat it, of course we are going to make it.
“On a scale of one to 10, we are a nine now. We have one or two things coming in on Monday but at this stage we are happy with it (the state of fundraising).”
But O’Neill admits that it hasn’t been all plain sailing and added: “We had a bit of a let down on Friday. “I can’t mention names, but a guy promised us £25,000 and let us down, so we are a little bit short at the minute.
“But we have one or two things to come through on Monday. Ilyas Khan is not involved.”
When asked the timescale of the payback and whether O’Neill would be in the High Court on Wednesday, he said: “I don’t want to go (to London). All the bank transfer will be done on Tuesday.
“A few fans have said they are not sleeping. Let me do the not sleeping.”

Re: "red letter day ??"
Even my young mate next door...a dyed -in- the- wool Clitheroe supporter (and second-rate Beatles Impersonator!) lost his composure when I told him that....
'TODAY IS OBVIOUSLY NOT GOING TO BE....'THE' DAY !!.
BUT....'ON STANLEY !!...ON!!!'

Re: "red letter day ??"
Do the telegraph actually talk to people, or do they get the quotes off various message boards, or do they just make it all up?

Re: "red letter day ??"
Club bosses at Accrington Stanley say they hope to have their tax debt in full by the end of the day.
That's despite being let down by some supporters offering the club loans to help pay its three hundred and eight thousand pound bill.
The club had planned to settle the amount by using cash from their Save our Stanley fund, investment by the club's directors and small loans.
107 The Bee: Stanley set to pay back debt
they now hope to have their tax debt in full by the end of the day,not will have all bank transfers done by today as stated before
they have be let down by some supporters offering loans not 1 loan of £25,000 as stated before
hmmmmmm
