I know the situation, as I said earlier I live near the stadium and everything. Other family members live closer to the stadium. None bothered by it. A motion has been put for the next council meeting “Accrington Stanley is the lifeblood of our town. We call upon the Council to provide a grant of £286,000 to the club from the General Reserves Fund, to assist in installing soundproofing within their venues.” Acccrington Stanley is our towns football club and the venue is a place many love and enjoy. A solution is needed and it’s one that we want to deliver, working with the controlling group. This isn’t about politics and we hope that this solution will move both the Council and the Club forward towards a positive relationship. Across many schemes to regenerate and rejuvenate our local area, the Council comes together with the private sector to create lasting change. We, as a Conservative Group, believe this to be a model that works in creating longer term prosperity and opportunity for all our residents. Many present and past examples exist. It was just a few days ago that Manchester United unveiled its proposals to build a new ground, and in doing so it requested public funding which was responded to positively by the Government. With that in mind, we are urging Hyndburn Council to provide a one-off package of support to Accrington Stanley Football Club, which alongside the huge multi-million investment that the club has already put in to the town, will protect Wham Stadium as one of our vital assets. We raise money from Council Tax to spend in the best interests of residents. It has always been clear to us the importance the Club holds in the Borough and the strength of feeling from residents. Our proposal is in recognition of the strong partnership the Council should have with the Club. It doesn’t matter what’s happened beforehand. It’s about how move forward, working, investing together. This will provide a solution and allow the club to re-open and succeed.

We lost to Hull at home whenr Plymouth with Rooney in charge away or Coventry away being our first lost of the season or Stoke at home?. All near bottom of the league when we played them, so why that? Player mentality or performance or Eustace team selection or tactics?

Edwards has 2 promotions on his CV so how would he actually been a downgrade as @roversfan99has said on Eustace. I actually he was upgrade but I doubts cos this season, his team has nosedive and his Luton team were the worst team I've seen at Ewood. Do I think he wanted to come? Not for me and I've read he is still paid his Luton salary

I know all this thanks. But MP's and councillors have been to Stanley many times. Couple of people who lived next to dont want them to used function room cos of the noise. Holt is trying to grow the club and improve the income of the club. Plus help grow the local economy and employ people. That's should be important here. Which Rovers would do this and grow the off the field income

Eustace only left 10 days after the transfer window closed on 13th Feb Swansea game was on 22th February. The transfer window shut on the 3rd of Feb.

If you couldn't see it that ain't my problem is it? I explained the change of formation at Derby and what I witnessed at Derby from my seat. Cos he has seen things he wants to change and progress in the time he been here. He wants to create chances. If we can't find forward pass what should we do? You tell me, it's a simple question RF9 That's what need to change and that's what he trying to do. why is Edwards a downgrade on Eustace? How can a head coach with promotion on his CV be a downgrade on one that's doesnt. You cant answer this simple and easy question. Wonder why you can't.

I know what is all about thanks. It's the area I live in.. Still a joke of a decision by our local council and hopefully it will change soon so its can been used as a function room for weddings and birthdays. Bring the club revenue in. Why moved next to club if you dont expect noise. Ffs

He is right Andy Holt. If you live next door, you would expect some noise and the club is trying to grow a football club and its off the field income. Also why move near a football club if you don't want noise. I live not far from the ground and people park on my street. I ain't bothered. I have email the council slamming their decision and couple of councillors I know to try to get that decision over turned and work with the club. I have attended functions at Coyley bar and they were really good.

He was interviewed by zoom as were several candidates before Rovers have a final shortlist which appears to be Ismael and Wagner, but the move for Ismael as he was the choice of 4 people were made after Swansea I think you are naïve thinking Waggott, Pasha or Gestede are going to tell them who is interviewed or not. Interviews were done via Zoom and in London. hear from where? Yes I remember quite alot of people saying similar things about Eustace when he came in. Ismael and Wagner were 2 names I mentioned from day one cos that the type of appointment I thought it what we would go for.

like your choice Rob Edwards? 🤔

I thought every player were crap according to you 😂 so instead of keep the ball when we can't created a chance what should we do? give the ball to the opposition? Did the players really seem confused cos the plan was fairly easy to understand, give the ball wide and try to keep the ball more to created more chances? is just created a couple of chances per game sustainable? players look confused? care to explain more if that was case why did the players keep looking to get the ball wide and full backs pushing on?

The move for Ismael wasn't started until after the Swansea game actually. That defeat started the process being speeded up according to Alan Nixon. and the players wouldn't know who we were going for. Do you really think they were getting update by Gestede or Pasha? Thanks for the reply and I very much apprenticed why wasn't he the right fit and what was the right fit for us?

So the players and head coach gets both the credit and blame when needed. Just not when it's suits your argument At Derby it's was on the players. They buckled it. Disagree there? Pears flapping at Derby or poor keeping on Saturday on Ismael or Pears? Stoke, didnt start that show.. Didnt start slow on Saturday but not closing ball down and Pears shit keeping were the problem with both goals? How can you disagree with that? It's about creating more chances cos otherwise we will never win games unless we score first. How many games in the last 2 seasons have we conceded first but won or draw the game? Bet not many. As a team we don't created lots of chances. Why not look to improve? Or should we just stick Eustace's tactics and not looking at improving our chances created? Explained the back 5 things at Derby and the game as I witnessed from my seat..you disagree, so why carrying on discussing it with yourself? More excuses here yet again from you. Edwards has promotion on his CV but Eustace hasn't. How the hell is that downgrade? Wow.

Good point Matty but then not summer signing worked out like Cantwell, Toth, ACD. Others did. Wasn't Gestede behind Gueye move and Owen behind Ohashi move? That's was the rumour

Every game is tough one at this level. I have said Norwich game was a decent point but he didn't change much. Derby bullied us and our back 4 and keeper buckled under pressure. Is that on Ismael? Or the players? We got back into the game and second half we were poor. I put the blame on the players and Ismael? Can we agree on that?. Stoke away, Hyam's pass cost us but our performance were poor? Is that on the player and Ismael? I would say so.. Cardiff at home, you could see how he wanted to play, get the ball wide and into the box, trying to create more. But defensively we were poor and Pears should have stop both goals. Can we agree on this overall?. Ismael has made mistakes so far, on Saturday, I didn't understand what his plan was on Saturday when he brought on Woodrow and Cantwell. I still don't get it even not. He should have taken Tronstad off for Buckley to add creativity to the centre of the pitch.

Gestede's recruitment of Ohashi and Gueye were better Broughton's recruitment of Ennis, Telalovic and Hirst(for me, that was down to JDT) Both can't sign a good reliable keeper Both had hits with defenders and midfielders signings

Yes we witnessed us trying to keep the ball against Cardiff and created more chances. What wrong with that? We won 4 games in 13 games pre Ismael's appointment. Stoke scored 19 minutes and as usually with you the players get a free pass every time when we started slowly or get no credit for our league position. Our league position was all down to Eustace and feck all with the players performances. Is Ismael responsible for The back 4 and Pears buckling at Derby under their fast start? Do the players take feck all responsible about that start? You slammed every team selection pre game. Nothing to see here. You cant answer the most simple and easier of questions. Just ignored them or deflect the answer. So how you can complain about any poster is bewildering. 🤔 I have made criticism of Ismael since he came in. His subs on Saturday being one. Yes we all know you were against his appointment but even your choice Rob Edwards was doing much worse with a Luton this season but you were willing to appoint him even he was sacked with them near the bottom of the league. So why was he the right choice?

I was at Derby game, they battered us in the first 10 mins. We couldn't deal with them. Back 4 and Pears buckled under pressure Going to back 3 settled us down and we played better attacking wise for that first half. Second half, we didn't performed, lack of crosses, chances and creativity. 1 of Eustace wins of 2 out of 10 games.. Agreed but the players united but at Swansea battered us in Lowe's last game. Like I said you are cherry picking facts/stats to suit your argument. You used 5 games but why not the last 10 games or 15 games. Cos it doesn't suit your point.

And alot of people wrote Szmodics off when he first signed here and thinking why are signing him when we had Dack.

Norwich wide players caused us massive problems first half by playing as number 10's instead. Took us 20 mins to sort that out. I felt that performance overall was decent enough we were 2 nil after 7 minutes, nothing to do Ismael, or tactics but the fact they bullied us. Pears and our back 4 were all over the place. going to 3 at the back after Karbgo had to go off, settled us down and we created 2 great chances and scored only one. We played back 3 under Eustace at times aswell like Bristol City away this season we can all cherry pick stats to suit our argument here. 2 wins in Eustace's last 10 league games. Also you missed that Swansea battered us in Lowe's final game.

He changed too much? Really?. What changed between that Swansea game then the next 2 games? Same formation and style. Derby got at our defenders and our keeper flapped again. Is that on Ismael or the players? Or And 4 wins in 13 games previously suggests things need adapt and changing. We witnessed abit of this on Saturday.

What was the outcome from the emergency board meeting yesterday? ,
