Also keep thinking about all the waiting in the rain at bus stops...standing on freezing station platforms...rushing up to Accy on dark, depressing Tuesday nights...Saturday afternoons spent in dismal places like Mansfield and Burslem...and for what?...to have this thrown in my face?

The mickey-taking has already started from other fans, but that doesn't bother me...after 49 years supporting the Stanley I've grown used to it. It didn't worry me when I was going to Peel Park in the mid-60s with a few dozen other lunatics, while anyone with any semblance of sanity had long gone. It didn't bother me when I was going on the Crown in the 70's, while anyone who wanted to watch "proper" football went elsewhere.

What does bother me is the thought that members of my own team might have been taking the mickey out of me and the rest of us...now that hurts...that really hurts.

got to agree with you wynonie h,it just makes you wonder about other results ???????????????????????????????????????????????

I feel exactly the same Wyn !...and the one nagging thought which keeps on returning to the forefront of my mind is, WHAT would make anyone having any semblance of alliegiance and loyalty towards (1) Their employers, and (2) In this particular case 1000 loyal Supporters of the team which they represent, behave in a manner which has already brought shame and ridicule to it's door and alienated so many of it's supporters ?.

It has also occurred to me that how anyone who, in this age of hi-tec Criminal Detection, could imagine that such a scam, if indeed this is what has gone on, would be so naive and stupid enough as to think that such unlawful behavior would go undetected and unpunished !.

One thing is certain though, this being, that the more one thinks of the possible ramifications of the whole sordid affair, then the more the feeling of betrayal and humiliation becomes more keenly felt.

Knowing you, and your dedication to Accrington Stanley
and it's cause. I understand how you must feel, and can only align myself to all that you have said.

Respect !.

What can I say, Yonmon? The more I think about it, the more angry and upset I get. And the club are contributing to this by not suspending the two players in question until the matter is settled one way or t'other. A couple of days ago, I was happily checking train times to Cleethorpes...now I'm not so sure.

I'll bet it's even wiped the smile off Alfred E's face!

One thought has kept coming into my mind today - - - When Stanley won the Conference and got back into the league, they dedicated that achieverment to Cav's brother, who, as we all know, had recently died in tragic circumstances. My feeling is that, in betraying the club, he would perpetrate a far more personal betrayal, which I hope he can live with.

slerpy · 08-04-2009, 14:01

Sub Judice. please be careful.

Oldgobbin · 08-04-2009, 14:35

Thanks Slerpy. That's why I said "He WOULD" - if it proved to be correct.

shakermaker · 08-04-2009, 14:37

It'll all come out in't wash.

You must come to Cleethorpes.Willy's pub is waiting with your pints on the bar for you

I have kept quiet up until now, but the posts that state both players must be suspended until the outcome of the hearing and any subsequent appeals are spot on! The club (Eric) has said in the LET that if found guilty, they will both be sacked on the spot. As Alfred E, Yonmon et al have also stated, how let down we all feel and how this is dragging the clubs name through the mire. What makes it worse is that Cav has been charged with making bets against the club THIS season. Play youth teamers if necessary, but Cav and Rocky must NOT be allowed near the ground or the team until the outcome of the inquiry. I do not care about results now until the end of the season, even if that gets us relegated back to the BS Conference (although I doubt it). It hurts that players of this once proud club could even think about conniving to fix matches to line their own pockets (if proven).

I did not make that comment relating to you Oldgobbin I meant it in a general way. Unfotunate comments on here will only make the entire situation worse. Schtoum would be the wisest course of action.

maccawozzagod · 08-04-2009, 15:24

I agree, ban them. The absolute last thing this club needs right now is to flaunt the players in front of the fans. What would happen if Cav was running down the wing with the ball and the entire stand was shouting obscenities at him?

It wouldn't be fair on him, us, or the rest of the team.
