  • Accrington Stanley FC
    TT0607-120 TT No.120: Dean McClean - Tues 16th January 2007. Football League Division 2: Accrington Stanley v Mansfield Town. Res: 3-2; Att: 1,234; Admission: £5 (cons), £10 (adults); 48pp Programme: £1; FGIF Match Rating: 4*. On a wet and cold Tuesday night in mid-January I decided to take the opportunity to visit the famous Accrington Stanley and watch League Football at the Crown Ground for the first time. For the third time in 120 years the small town of Accrington is playing host to Football League. Stanley are not, as many believe, founder members of the FL in 1888. That honour belongs to an entirely separate team, Th Owd Reds. The club spent five seasons in the FL, but upon relegation to Division Two, opted to withdraw from the league and join the Lancashire League. Th Owd Reds played their home matches at Thorneyholme Road, which is still the home of Accrington CC, and one of six of the original twelve FL venues still in use today. After two seasons in the Lancashire League, Th Owd Reds joined the Lancashire Combination but folded after only five matches and were confined to the annals of history. The present club was formed as Stanley Villa in 1891 and took the name of the town in 1893. After 20 years or so of competing in the local league, the people of Accrington were again hungry for FL to return to the town and by 1921 Stanley had a ground (Peel Park), team and support capable of entering the FL.

It builds on some significant achievements to date and on the good progress already made against our initial objectives.

  • Public Space Protection Orders When They Are Agreed Should Be Widely Published and Strictly Enforced
    PSPO Consultation Comments 30 October 2015 ALL RESPONSES Q7. Please provide any other comments you wish to make on these proposals in the box below? I think that while dogs should be banned from children's play areas that they should be allowed off the lead in other areas of parks, although I accept that this makes it more difficult to collect any dog waste, as some older people cannot walk into open countryside. I do not have a dog. As can be seen from my answers to the questions I support all of the proposals except one, the exclusion of dogs from open playing fields. Each facility needs to be addressed individually as a blanket ban is not suitable for all. Whilst I agree that dogs do not need to be walked on a running track such as the one at Wilson's Playing Fields, I do not agree that they should be excluded from open fields which happen to be marked out as sports' pitches for several months of the year eg. White Ash Playing Fields in Oswaldtwistle. As a regular user of the fields these are my reasons why. It would not 'best use of the land' as the football and rugby pitches are only used for a few hours a week for the purpose of these sports. Dog walkers use the fields at all times of the day and every day. Whilst some dog fouling does take place, the bins provided are always well used by the majority of the dog walkers. Excluding dogs will not solve the problem of irresponsible owners but will punish the responsible ones.
