on a serious note i think if stanley move to whiteberk their wont be an accy stanley for long

I wouldnt like stanley to move to whitebirk anyways as far as im concerned its blackburn not hyndburn, but as fishy site has said they cant see it being likely.

Whatever the final decision on the move Accrington Stanley is a town football club and should be situated at the heart of the town or at least as close as possible to the centre, if that’s not possible then it should certainly be within the town’s boundaries.

I think the fishy sites Statement should now take precedent and these dim quotes of bollock sweat should be left to pass into those dark dank areas of Accyweb that we dare not go……

Dave it's a news paper like all others, I buy it, read it, when I'm poor I wipe my arse on it, but I would never take it as gospel.

Councillor Jones, do you not think we have enough problems with our poor run of results, precarious league position, falling gates and seemingly never-ending list of injuries, without you coming on here and stirring the s**t?

This afternoon, I have watched eleven lads play their hearts out with passion, spirit and a never-say-die attitude and I was privileged to do it with 200+ other Stanley loyalists. And, quite frankly, that means more to me than all your nasty, underhand political tactics.

You say you're a Rovers fan, councillor Jones. Well, go and post on their site because you are certainly not welcome here.

I was under the impression that this thread was started because of something Eric Whalley has done or not done. Lets get this matter into court then we can discuss the real facts, until then Mr Jones you will be wasting your time discussing with people who are totally blinkered to anything Eric Whalley related.

Can I just clear up a minor point on this thread. Whitebirk has always been in Hyndburn and the border is the river that runs by then new Eastern area Police Headquarters. All the industrial estate on the right (heading towards Preston and before the railway bridge belongs to HBC. Always has done always will do. BUt and this is a big BUT, The club belongs to Accrington not Hyndburn, therefore, we need to stay within the boundaries of the town including the districts of SpringHill, Huncoat, Clayton, Church, Oswaldtwistle, Baxenden and Altham. Outside any of these districts and the identity would disappear rapidly.. BTW this all came about by meddling politicians in London - now where have I heard that before???

I agree. There's is not much that is going to change in the thread. People are RIGHT to get uptight about critcism of the club and they are right to have a pop. It's a free country, we have free speech.

If the truth comes out it will all turn on it's head, so I am not concerned. I have yet to meet anyone aware of all the facts who does not share a similar view to me. One or two who have become aware now have a completely different perspective. And they are comfortable that I am in difficult circumstances taking the moral highground.

Peter is right, Eric is wrong. Eric started the dirty politics period, Eric can end it with an apology and an acceptance of the Freedoom of the Borough and stop playing politics in other matters. I am using freedom of speech to back Peter. I'll just have to tough the criticism out.

On the point of Accringtonianism and directly related to this matter I would say this; Seeing as my great grandad, whom I knew and loved, was on the Somme carrying off dead and injuried bodies, and my Aunts father was gassed at Ypres, I was disgusted with Eric and see it as a personal insult on my family and this town the way he turned down the Freedom of the Borough the way he did. More than anything else, Eric's insult on this was just too much.

I think there needs to be further developments before posting again.
