Re: V Barnet Guess The Gate
Curiously enough, I took 2 visiting Scots on holiday in Blackpool to the first game of the season. They are both hooked (one of whom was a 7 year old at his very first live football match). I have promised them when they are next down in the area to get them tickets, providing Stanley are at home. They loved the atmosphere and the craic in the supporters area at the back of the Clayton end and also meeting the players after the match in the club bar. That's what makes Stanley great

Re: V Barnet Guess The Gate
NORTHERNSOUL. There was a televised cup match VS Newcastle a few years ago. Because of large attendance Stanley hired some 'stewards' who were hell bent on causing trouble. This ended up with Jase, one of the most prominent Ultras, getting a banning order. Various other goings on around the same time, such as banning flags, led many to believe the club at the time didn't do enough to support Jase and the Ultras. The Clayton end has never been the same since.
There are some threads which will bring you up to speed: http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/f...utd-54625.html www.accringtonweb.com/forum/f93/flags-54926.html http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/f...ras-69033.html http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/f...als-54628.html |

Yes. To summarise, it was a brilliant night, the Ultras had provided flags for everybody (still got mine) and organised a tribute to Bobby Robson (who had just died) which was appreciated by a packed Coppice end full of Geordies. And a good game. Unfortunately :mad: some (deleted) set off a couple of flares at the back of the Clayton End and the (bar)stewards and then the police got involved at the end of the game :(. Jase, who was not a retiring character :), also got involved, most probably trying to help some of the teenage Ultras who looked up to him as their leader (which he most definitely was) which resulted in him getting done for obstruction. And as dabeast says, many people (including me) thought the club could at least :rolleyes: have provided some mitigation in court by acknowledging Jase's unofficial status as the organising genius and heart and soul of our support.
I was far too old to be an Ultra, and had only been to half a dozen games at that stage, but I was gobsmacked by what Jase and the Ultras used to do to support the club at that time. And it certainly hasn't been the same since that day :(. |
