Re: Newport Game

If I'm being honest, I'm not that surprised at tonight's result - two long haul games so close together after all the emotion last Tuesday was bound to take it's toll on the lads, plus there was the pressure of keeping the unbeaten run going, well that pressure's gone now & we go again on Saturday when I've every confidence that we'll clinch the title.

No it won't - but when did Stanley ever do anything the easy way, we'll be fine

(Perhaps it would be a good idea for the 'Newport' version, Accy Mad to modify his/her identity).
Surely the 'Mods' can rectify this confusion?

Went to my first away match in many a year tonight, think the last one was a cup game of some kind at Elland Road ???years ago.
Really enjoyed the experience, although not the result, which, BTW, I thought was a fair reflection of our overall performance, but, on exiting the coach, my 72year old body was complaining after the near 6hour journey, and I could only think what our players must feel like (albeit some 50 years younger!) after experiencing two similar coach journeys within a few days? Then to go & play a football match? Plus, as you say, the additional pressures?

I know that Club finances do not allow for private jets down to away matches, as enjoyed by some of our so-called colleagues a little higher up the ladder (OK, only two divisions higher as of next season!), but, it would be interesting to know the costs re: overnight stays.... the reason I ask this, is not because I expect Mr. Holt to cover this expense, rather to suggest that we, as true fans, may be able to assist, with the excellent fund-raising abilities of the OASSC, in helping towards this expense? If we can raise enough for an oversize TV, which most fans on the Clayton End cannot benefit from, (by most, I mean those such as my good friend Cashy & his mates, by virtue of being my generation) & cannot even see properly, surely it would benefit us more by assisting our lads to arrive at some away games in a much less exhausted state than I felt at 6:30 pm last night?

Only a thought, perhaps brought on by my mental state after a near 15 hour round trip, and not a drink in sight until arriving home!!

Re: Newport Game

I’d be surprised if a leisurely 4 hour coach journey will be that much of a hassle.
If I get leg space on a train or plane it really doesn’t bother me - aged 55.

If my legs are cramped my sciatica plays up - not a condition I’d expect them to suffer from.

Re: Newport Game

Thought the result was about right last night, first half we never came out the traps, very poor, Newport wanted it more than us, dont think that shoulda been the case but thats what was. second half we played quite a bit better coulda got a point i thought, also thought if Billy had scored 10 mins sooner, then we probably would have done. Mat Guy was there had a natter with him did Kitchener and i. Next to us in the stand were 3 Bristol City fans, who told us, when Stanley were down that way, they come and support us. that was very pleasing, just shows how we are loved in many areas. was a good turnout of stanley fans for tues night i thought, so come on Stanley, lets do it against Lincoln on sat.

Re: Newport Game

Twist turns ups downs etc. One of our poorest performances for a long time. Think we just ran out of energy. All of the back four were pulled all over the place last night and done for pace by a lively front line.
Nouble was a thorn in the side all night. Dunne got a big wake up call and Hughsey done for pace too many times.
Expect more bully boy tactics Saturday with Rhead and Green.
They need a good rest this week.
I still expect Luton to drop points though so not overly worried.
