Rovers have helped Stanley on many occasions, Burnley are just in this for the publicity.

that is a real dumb thing to say n i was a rover since 62,i was stanley before that n everyone who was knows the score at that time, BURNLEY deserve Great Credit n whatever is raised tonight will be a great help, try thinking before opening yer gob, this is to SERIOUS to bitch about.

We have more pressing business to attend to Billy than reopening the Bob Lord Portfolio again !!...and the history of Blackburn Rovers.FC.
If you intend to make regular postings to our Forum then do try a little harder to concern yourself with current affairs at Accrington Stanley. Which, unless you've missed them, are concerned with a certain topic called SURVIVAL !!.In which we would ask you to play your part!!

'ON STANLEY!!....ON!!!!'

I’m not the one who started this thread complaining that Rovers have done nothing. Just stating that they have helped Stanley in the past.
Blame Ozmainia for his pathetic jib at Rovers.
As for taking part in helping stanley – I have done in the past, present and hopefully, future.

Help from Rovers on the way?

107 The Bee: Stanley's efforts continue

I would love my club to play a friendly for your benefit - where you keep all the profit. But, it's also not our duty; the town of Accrington should be supporting the club - not fans from other towns.

We're having collection boxes at the game on Saturday though. So that should raise a few quid.

Wynonie Harris · 09-09-2009, 15:45

The vast majority of Stanley fans realise that it's not your's or any other club's duty. As has been said again and again, any help is a favour, not an obligation.

The original poster doesn't seem to think so. Of whom my remark was aimed at.

without rovers help over the years things would have been even harder than they have been of that there is no doubt.

as for the town supporting accy this is also true but Accrington also goes some way to support Burnley and Rovers as a shed load of folk support one or the other and live within the Hyndburn boundary

I don't see how that is relevant. It looked to me as he/she was having a dig at my club. And, like most football fans - I will defend my club to the ends of the Earth.

thats true loweiy but i think many of em went oer in 62, i did n like others took me son n so it goes on,its n old chestnut of mine, but my theory has always been target the kids/schools, now they are finally doing that, i'm sure stanley will benefit in the long run.
