I wonder if Rob would care to specify how he sees the SOS Fund reaching £150k. Even adding such items as Darlo wages etc, it will be a miracle if it reaches £120k.

We assume that the directors will put in their £100k. So that would seem to assume that the generous businessman is going to increase his loan to £88k. What events are being arranged that can raise £88k (or even £58k) in the "short term"?

I, for one, am still VERY worried.

Whichever way you look at it, it's obvious that there's a large black hole in the club's financial plans to pay the taxman in nine day's time.

The club need to tell us EXACTLY how this black hole is going to be filled and they need to tell us NOW. No more flannel and halfbaked pipedreams about buying the ground and other such fripperies...tell us what you're going to do. We've supported you, we've put our money in, we've made sacrifices, we have a right to know!!

It’s not over yet; there is still time for donations as well as fundraising efforts. There is also the FA money, is that not due this month. Surely if push come to shove £50k of that would give a short breathing space if only enough of one until the share issue starts to generate income, and there’s always a chance that someone from the local business community might tip in at the final stage of proceedings. What ever happens I don’t think the club would let the whole thing collapse over a £50k shortfall.

What’s needed now is a long term outlook, how are we going to help the club generate income to help move Accrington Stanley on and away from this situation. Let’s be positive and not be overshadowed by this…..

As we both read in last week's Accrington Observer Wyn !....

"We need to do something quickly to show that Accrington Stanley will survive and has a bright future."....Rob Heys.

This statement appears to have taken on an even greater 'Sword of Damocles' sense of dread and impending doom even more than it did earlier in the day !!.....so is 'TREPIDATION' going to be the buzz word from now on ??.

It seems to me that 'QUICKLY' in Rob's statement should now read ...
At speed !, or briskly !, or expeditiously !,or flat out !, or full tilt !,or immediately !, or in a hurry !, or in a rush !, or in haste !, or even lickety-split !, certainly like a shot !, not forgetting posthaste !, or precipitately !, or promptly !, certainly speedily, swiftly, and with dispatch !!! (Pause for breath!)...or RIGHT NOW !!...

Yes.....TREPIDATION RULES....OK ??'

'ON STANLEY!!..ON!!...TO EVEN GREATER THINGS!!'.

In all honesty i'll be suprised if the club sustains a result of the taxman and looking more likely that maybe the case imho.

No i disagree!! It was said at the time that this money was sat in the bank and if the two who loaned the money to the club wanted it back it was there to be given back,unless its been used for day to day running of the club.. and lets not forget the Share issue WM said that neally 50 supporters would soon be proud owners and may be even more by now that could be an extra 12 t 15k to raise the fundmeter

Stanleymad · 19-10-2009, 21:58

To add a suggestion for fund raising idea of photo taken with the world cup medal 66 which david cocker offered as way to help, tho the annoying thing is the club give air of feeling its not as needed assumption we're clear when on paper we ain't - which is it?
