ACCRINGTON have given cricket's proposed new Premier League a resounding thumbs down and will be staying in the Lancashire League.
An extraordinary general meeting was held at Thorneyholme Road last night when the vote against quitting the Lancashire League was, according to club chairman Peter Barratt, "fairly substantial". Accrington officially informed Old Trafford of their decision today. Mr Barratt said: "There was a full discussion for about three quarters of an hour but many of the members had a gut feeling to stay where we are.
"A lot of things still don't seem to have been settled with the Premier League. There seems to be a lot of shifting of the goalposts."
