My 'second' club Accrington Stanley look like they'll be forced to resign from the league in 8 weeks time..they've been shafted by the Football League who changed their ground criteria rules last December, forcing Stanley to install an additional 1500 seats but refusing to give the club more than 5 months on which to complete the work - this despite the fact that the ground already had 2000 seats yet only 1100 average attendances. Then the tax office gave backword on an agreement to allow Stanley 12 months in which to clear a £300k bill....the club having used the money set aside to pay the tax bill in order to fund the purchase and instalation of the seats. The tax office now want the bill settled in 8 weeks due to a change in club ownership.
