Local Residents

the meeting between the club and the local residents whinging committee.

already banned drums
shouting to be kept to a minimum and only after goals?
 
They are both Councillors - father and daughter - and I think they both represent Milnshaw ward.
 
No, he hasn't. Ian Ormerod retired. Malcolm Pritchard is still a Councillor, as is his daughter who was elected this year. Milnshaw has two Councillors.
 
i can only remember voting once but you could be right .just reminds me i need to get in touch with them to complain about something relevant not about some noise for 90 mins .
 
yes, you only voted once this time because only one out of the two seats was up for election - the seats rotate so that we only vote for 11 out of the 33 council seats each year and then in the fourth year it's county elections.
 
haven't been on for a while and have probably missed a linked thread - but just had to ask- why would you live near a footie ground if you take umbrage at the associated vocal support'n stuff ? It ain't rocket science to know what to expect !
 
For people who moved there 8 or more years ago, there wasn't any noise. With gates of 300, matchdays were nothing more than an inconvenience.
Today there are real issues on matchdays and not just with the noise. Issues to do with policing, parking, public safety, etc.

I believe it essential that the club works with the local residents, which of course they are doing.
 
The way things are going the club will be agreeing to stop playing football at the ground. they seem to have caved in on everything else.

I agree Tin Monkey, except it has always been a known fact that Accrington Stanley will move forward. Eric said on numerous occasions that we will be back in the Football League within 5 years - and we are. The FES, IES or whatever has always been a football ground of some sort, Stanley have been there since the 60's, Eric since the 90's - it's always been clear that we are gonna push forward, develop the ground, win promotion etc. The residents have known this, maybe they didnt think that would ever happen, but now it has they should not be trying to hold us back. Sorry - rant over...
 
Just typical of some of thre residents of Accy, they don't want the town to go forward, they live in a little world of "it was never like this when I were a lad" and if any changes come along they are critised and pulled apart, the 2 councillers should be ashamed of themselves they are there to represent Accrington not just a few householders, they should be jumping up and down and shouting from the rooftops that Stanley are in their ward, what an honor and opportunity for the town to be back on the map and in the minds of advertisers and companies looking to relocate, instead they will see a couple of amateur politicains complaining.
