You're a bit behind buddy

Sharing many of the memories mentioned above, here's my five (by no means in order of importance):

1) Andy Procter goal away at Aldershot - first game in Conference (first time the players had names on the backs of their shirts).
2) Peter Swailes Shield victory away at Burton Albion - Coley sticks 'On Stanley On' flag in middle of Burton's pitch.
3) Away at Whitby - second game in two days; won 3-0.
4) Simon Carden hat trick vs Burscough
5) Away at Macclesfield 2009

Could also include the two legged cup final against BPA, seeing Mark Sertori hanging out of Jamie Speare's sunroof racing down Queen's Road West, the bus/train/taxi/bus ride to Hyde, Forest Green away 2006, Mike Marsh's perfect assist for a Lutel James goal vs Blyth, Jimmy Bell headlock on a Barrow player, Jimmy Bell battering a Bamber Bridge player, Paul Howarth's goal vs Aldershot, Halifax streamers, every Christie Park trip... all unforgettable. Roll on the tens & teens! On Stanley On

Many happy times watching stanley.... these are in no order

1. One of my first away games when we beat Leigh RMI 6-0 a few weeks after they had knocked us out of the FA cup

2. Away days out at Grays and Canvey Island in our promotion season

3. A number of people have mentioned that 90th minute winner against Torquay

4. Seeing so many people at Burnley for the SOS campaign

5. Promotion to the league

and of course hearing Coley and MAB give their opinions to the match officials...:-)

For me the decade hangs on the firsts of 2009:

First team to beat Barnet, Notts County et al at their own grounds.

First time we have won at Rochdale and Bury's own grounds.

First time I have felt that the future of Accrington Stanley is more secure, many thanks to IK and all others who helped SAVE OUR STANLEY.

My only hope for the New Year is to get some decent referees at the Crown and to win promotion to League One (whether it is by the play-offs or by automatic promotion (actually beating Morecambe at Wembley, that would be ace).

1) gouck goal against Huddersfield - watching Stanley for the first time on tv having been told to by my parents (both big fans from the unibond days). It's fair to say I caught the bug that day.

2) Gary's equalizer at the Shay in the conference winning season. Just as he struck the ball I was stood next to me dad and he said "this'll tell us if were going up or not this season". I just said "it's in" and then the away end went mental.

3) same season the morecambe game live on sky. Me and the wife took over a pub in ennis, Ireland to watch the match. (the batman had to lie to one of the regs that the tv had broke to keep the game on tv.) The whole pub were Stanley fans by the end of the night and I left them my scarf

4) leaving Edgar street absolutely gutted with a 2-2 draw even though it virtually assured promotion. I'm not one for singing at games but did the full 90 that day. Even met a Hereford fan who wished us well!

5) a memorable day when Stanley came to the town hall in accy and drinking a bottle of bollanger whilst the town sang to craney et al!

Many more super memories like Bradford away - Leam's game of keepy uppy and the shock of twenty quid entry. Hopefully many more to come from the best little team in the world

Last game of the season at Exeter when we were in the Conference the 1st season and Exeter thought they had made the play offs at the end. Fireworks a stage everything only to find like we had been singing your staying down with the Stanley. Took them 20 minutes to realise they hadn't qualified it was the funniest thing laughing at all their players and supporters, priceless I'll never forget that day.
