Last Annual Return made up to 16th November 2008 so the next one isn't legally due until 16th November 2009 and can be lodged up to 28 days after that date. So leaglly everything is OK.

Questions questions questions - as someone else's Gran said in another thread, there are 3 sides to every story...

I believe that there is not another offer on the table! That comes from a very sound, reliable source!

I just keep coming back to this thread and reading the above, we cannot let this go without doing something, I just can't get my head round it, still stunned.

If it's the former, then it will not just be them that lose their investments, but everyone else who is a shareholder. And, most importantly, there will be no Stanley.

The A.S.S.F. Believe very strongly that this was not a bluff of any sort!

Just another angle, we must wonder why Peter Marsden felt he had to stand down???

Accrington Stanley Football Club Limited
Sunday 4th Oct 2009

Vice Chairman stands down
Accrington Stanley vice chairman Peter Marsden has today resigned as a director of Accrington Stanley.

Speaking about his decision Peter explained "Personally I think the main protagonists involved in the off-field war of words afflicting our club should be locked in a room and not let out until they have resolved their differences.

"If required I would be happy to act as a mediator - not as a director but as an independent shareholder - but you can only help people if they want to be helped.

Food for thought?????

Funny how all these little stories suddenly start dripping through today isn't it? I wonder if there's a pattern developing?

Is this the way to treat our team when they are doing their best?
With tonight's match postponed will they still get their pay at weekend?

In the absence of any transparency in:

a) The full accounts of the club

b) Board minutes or directors statements pertaining to the above

.....I wonder if someone could possibly stick on here an excel spreadsheet showing the figures on the balance sheet as deposited at Companies House for the last 5 or 7 years or so? I know we've seen a Jpeg or PDF file relating to individual years posted on here before but it could be a useful exercise just to now reveal how the club has reached this position over the last few years. I know there are a few accountants on here....which I suppose, raises the question of how prior years accounts have been signed off with what now appears to be a serious understatement of financial liabilities.

I've just been re-reading the SOS Press Release of 03/09/09 and Rob Heys' statement of 02/09/09 which are on the SOS website. Five weeks on, they really do make interesting reading.

1 word comes to my mind............. PROTEST!!!!

The Stanley Boys, The Stanley Boys.
In 20-9 they'll close the doors.
We're going to die because of Eric Whalley.
And the b*stards on the board who don't belong.
