Like the murphys, you're not bitter!

THE BLUE 'N' WHITES, try reading some of the posts first, the above being one of many.

So, according to Ozz, either Stanley have no chance of progressing further, which in my book, is looking down his nose at us. Or he thinks that Blackburn are so big, they'll never go down (Nottingham Forest, Leeds United, West Ham anybody?), which in my book, is arrogance. I try not to tar you all with the same brush, but it is quite bloody difficult with pillocks like that.

Why exactly does he think we won't play Burnley or Blackburn? Maybe he'd like to explain...?

Blackburn, fair enough, have a much larger town and bigger catchment area than us, but Burnley certainly don't, and they're in the Championship! So why can't we go as far as Burnley?

At the end of the day, I am of the personal opinion we'll play both Clubs in League matches one day. I'm also of the personal opinion that Blackburn fans are snooty and arrogant, and Burnley fans are thick idiots who can't handle their drink.

Rob has fequently said he believs Accrington could sustain a decent Championship team, and he's right. Look at the likes of Rotherham and Crewe. They lived the dream, and as a club we've got far more potential then they ever did. And just for the Rovers/Burnley fans we have no debt and we own our own stadium.

Diesel · 09-07-2006, 10:25

Do we actually own the Stadium Alvin? I'm not 100% on the business side of the Club, sure somebody will enlighten me though

Alvin the chipmunk · 09-07-2006, 10:28

I think so. Not like Burnley who have to sell theirs and then lease it back.

PS: Anyone else notice the IES sign was still up?

I really hope Stanley do well, an was genuinely chuffed to see them get back in the league. I get the feeling that you feel the same way about Rovers, that Rovers feel about Chelsea, Liverpool, United etc. Their arrogance and snootiness gets on Rovers fans nerves just as we do to you.
We all have our chips on our shoulders to bear.

i dont reckon we will bring more than 1,700

i`ll think you`ll find burnley have the biggest catchment, nelson, pendle, colne, burnley, the rest of the towns around that area, no big teams to the right hand side of them till, bradford/leeds

As much as I hate to drag this back to the topic of the thread, did anyone listen to the coverage?

I'm after some feedback (good or bad; it doesn't matter. Will help me learn for next time I get the opportunity)

If you listened, your comments would be welcome.

[To quote=Alvin the chipmunk]

Eric has helped the club to become self-sustainable. He is by no means dipping into his own pocket all the time, as some of you suggest. He puts as much enthusiasm and passion into the club as he does money. And it's a sorry state of affairs if any club has to be dependant on a rich backer to keep going.[/quote]

Good post this, Erics astute dealings in the transfer market (along with the Gaffer) as well as managing the ongoing club improvements is first class.

The clubs history tells us all steady progress and a healthy cash flow is much better than boom and bust.

Give us a green to Bayer !!
