Is this poll such a good idea, as it's just an open invitation for sneering, smart-alec remarks from people who usually never even post on the Stanley section.

well said Wynonie Harris, but to answer the question yes i would for an undisclosed amount

cashman · 03-02-2008, 23:51

no if i had the money it certainly would not be invested in ANY football club.

ossy kid · 04-02-2008, 04:47

I,d buy it in a heartbeat IF I had the money to spare. Just as a side thought, any clue what a football club like Stanley is worth, and no smart answers or I,ll make you the ball boy!!!

I would... Hereford or Burnley....

Just so I could ruin them lol...

Pendle Red · 04-02-2008, 12:01

If it was within my reach then yes!
But only if I thought I could take the Club forward

maccawozzagod · 04-02-2008, 17:55

I'd buy it tomorrow if I could but probably not for what is reported to be asked for.

I'd also kick the Accy Amateurs off the pitches behind the Coppice End and turn our ground around and put it over there. You could fit our ground in there twice over so plenty of room for larger concourses, shops, on-site bookies, restaurant and cafe (deffo two separate things) club shop, OSC shop, three bars etc etc.

Present ground would convert to two good quality training pitches that could be used to house the Accy Stanley (not Blackburn rent-the-name) under 9's, 11's, 13's, 15's and 18's, Ultra's and ladies football teams. There would be chargeable car parking for 500 cars around the ground (easily).

etc, etc but I always forget to play and Mrs Macca would probably tell me no anyways.

Now Now Wynonie

Not every one can stand football. Myself I cant see the point, all them blokes chasing a ball, which no one ever has for more than a second at a time, and if it goes between two upright bits of wood, everyone starts fighting. What the LL does it matter. Tell me in 100 years time.

Can I have the 20 seconds of my life back, that I wasted reading this drivel please?

madkev · 04-02-2008, 20:00

i would if i was loaded

DAV007 · 04-02-2008, 20:26

I would only value the club at £800,000.
Without league 2 football and the revenue streams only £500,000.

If I had £4,000,000 - i reckon you could buy it at that price and continue the success with some stringent measures. A 'none saturday service' is what is most lacking IMO to bring in other revenue funds, a new stand would be required - but in the current ground footprint, it would be difficult to achieve.

Tin Monkey · 04-02-2008, 20:29

It'd probably be in the contract of sale that you have to take Eric Whalley too, if you bought the club. So no, I wouldn't buy it.

yerself · 04-02-2008, 22:52

Reminds you of the old joke. My dad asked me what I wanted for Christmas. I told him a cowboy outfit, so he bought me Accrington Stanley.
