Shareholder Ilyas Khan withdrew financial support in early October, and the debt ridden club struggled with early season form. With debts mounting, fans came to the aid of Stanley through the 'Save our Stanley' campaign. The club was forced to clear £308,000 worth of tax debt, and the club's target was reached on 3 November 2009.
After winning 7 from 8 games in League Two during midseason, Stanley found themselves challenging for a playoff spot, and reaching the Football League Trophy 2009-10 north semi-final was also a highlight. Stanley were winless from 9 games late in the season, but held 15th spot with 2 wins and a draw in the last 3 games of the season.
