[Jimbo T Hornblower]

I know there is dispute between the ASSF and the club but I want a League 2 club to watch in December so I will make my second donation to the SOS later today as I have been paid again. Thats my season ticket 'paid' for Thats all I can do - I hope we manage this..

Think I read somewhere (possibly the Evening Telegraph) that they're arranging a friendly against Austin Aztecs (managed by Adrian Heath). They're also trying to arrange the Rovers friendly for October, rather than November.

It would be good if that Rovers game could be arranged for October but with the glut of league games this month it would be difficult to fit one in.

Accroding to this link, Aztecs will play Stoke on the 14th and Burnley on the 20th. Maybe they may switch the latter and play Stanley instead, although I suspect Adrian Heath may prefer to play Burnley for obvious reasons. Nothing has been confirmed by Burnley yet.

A further update from nearer to home. Stoke City's sister club apparently, if they play the same way you better point the floodlights a bit higher up or you won't see the ball

Only £200.00 over last couple of days Should be in the region of £170K by tomorrow!!!! I know that we still have the weekend buckets to add, but it really is the time for people/fans Etc. To stand up and be counted! For the sake of our club, I hope sincerley that the the people out there that are responsible for this mess - and there are quiet a few!! - have the sense of responsibility to sort this out!!!!!!!!

[Whalley Red]

And yet Rob Heys repeatedly said that the figure was about £100k when interviewed by Dan on Tuesday

I understood that this matter was all but resolved, the SOS fund will be at least between £100k – £120k by the dead line; Rob as stated that three of them (Directors) will be putting in at least £120k between them and Mr. Khan as clearly stated publicly that he will double what the Directors put in (Single amount I presume) which will be £80k which by my reckoning comes to £300k. I’m sure someone will find the odd bit of short fall, job done Mr. O’Neil and the Club pull it off with Mr. Khan’s assistance…everybody should be happy.

Mr. O’Neil and the club gets the opportunity to prove their point, the club gains value which should mean that the Directors and individual share holders who put money in (including Mr. Khan) should have a chance of getting their money back long term, and the ASSF will have to reinvent a role for itself or carry on operations focused purely on fund raising.

And yet, if reports are to be believed, this £300+K will only just satisfy the demands of HMRC !....and do little to make any inroads whatsoever into the 'Total' Debt which, again if sources are accurate, may well be double this figure...or even more!!.

Therefore does it not seem logical to assume that if there is not a massive revenue input to clear the entire Debt, that the Club will merely stagger along from one emergency to the next, and risk incurring the wrath of The Dreaded Taxman on a regular basis ??..and everybody will certainly be far from happy....in fact I can not see 'Happiness' being the overriding emotion existing at 'The Crown' for a long time to come following the damage to reputations and Fan-Trust which we see, hear, and read about on a daily basis!.

If all this sounds a bit of a Jeremaic Lament, my comments are only based on an analysis of what I, and anyone else can read in the media, and unfortunately, on our Forum!!..

So I ask again...QUO VADIS STANLEY ??....Will someone please make an informed effort to answer this impassioned plea???

'WHAT ME WORRY ?'.....just a little !!

At some point we will have to have faith in that the club “irrespective of ownership” will prevail; Rob Hays tells us that there is only operational debt, day to day running cost, this may be bourn out by the fact that there is only the one (06th August 2009) CCJ recorded against the company which may well be the tax debt, (please confirm Rob)…if we had the massive debt put about by various parties i.e. £500-600k we would be inundated with CCJs’ would we not?

Undermining, casting doubt and divide and conquer are old techniques for getting your own way in inter rivalry conflicts like we are seeing now for control of the club….I feel (personal opinion) that if it was that bad that Mr. O’Neil would have taken the easiest route out and would have taken Mr. Khan’s hands off (both of them) in order to protect and preserve his other interests rather than be dragged down and loose everything….
