Re: The Stanley Revolution!!!
Up until 6pm this evening, I knew nothing of this, but when I was driving home and listening to Radio Lancs and it said the bill had been paid, I felt nothing but relief that our famous little club had been saved from oblivion yet again. OK so we have all had a pop at Dave O'Niell and Rob Heys, but if Ilyas and Peter have talked to them and asked them to stay on, then maybe we should all agree to give them our support. Also, after listening to the interview with D O'N, I personally thought he sounded like a weight had been lifted from his shoulders. As he said, he never really wanted to be chairman of the club, but it was gifted to him by EW (The real villain of the piece I believe). If the club still owe him, then maybe we should send the money as washers, like he implied the club stewards were worth paying in. Things will take time to settle down, but lets get behind the club starting this Saturday and cheer the lads on to victory to bigger and better things. As others have said, thank you to all persons (be they individuals or teams or firms) who have assisted in saving this club.
BTW Mel and Lancsdave, can I pop back in to the shop to have an addition to my T-shirt - I HELPED save our Accrington Stanley.

Re: The Stanley Revolution!!!
At last, it's all over.
Now, let's get back to the important stuff; the stuff that happens ON the pitch...

Re: The Stanley Revolution!!!
Hallelujah.....Hallelujah....
I cannot express or put into words the immense sense of relief that has flooded through me since I heard this joyous news....We are forever in debt.... to Messrs Khan & Marsden who have steered the good ship Stanley to safer waters....
Now we have to build on this and all pull together to move the club towards a brighter and more financially stable future. To use a (horse) racing analogy....I feel we've just clambered over the first ( seemingly at times unsurmountable ) hurdle and there's probably more tests the club are yet to face...But with todays news, I'll sleep easier knowing the club has the right people at the helm to meet the challenge.....
Let's get behind the club, putting all recent problems behind us and start by packing out the ground on Saturday...Onwards and upwards towards brighter times.....
Mr Khan and Mr Marsden...many thanks for your untiring endeavour and commitment to the cause.
And to all others who have contributed to the fundraising, however large or small ...thanks....you've all chipped in to help keep the legend alive....
ACCRINGTON STANLEY.....The club that wouldn't die !!!!!

No, but maybe we could make a new t-shirt with that on, and even make some money on them this time
You never know the club shop may actually start getting new merchandise, hopefully with a 'Made In Accrington' label on it

Re: The Stanley Revolution!!!
I thought Ilyas was very impressive on the radio tonight. He'll be in charge of governance and the financial side of the Club. So, at last, he have full access to the books and he promised the financial security and transparency that we've wanted for so long. Even talked of money for Coley to buy players, though more next season than this
It may be a long time before my anger at David O'Neill subsides and it may be a while before I listen to Rob Heys on the radio and not be cynical, but in Ilyas I trust. If the current setup of the Club is good enough for him, it's good enough for me
On to the football and a very vocal show of support for Ilyas and Peter on Saturday!
