Probably, I have noticed the quality of reporting in the local rags is abysmal. I would have thought that Stanley certainly deserves a lot more coverage even if it is painful at times than we get. This simply reinforces how as a football club playing league football we are not taken seriously. I would contend that if we were to get better coverage by the L.E.T it would help our cause.

It certainly wouldn't do any harm at all, but not holding me breath wi that crap rag.I honestly dont think the L.E.T. give a stuff about Stanley, those who govern sport yon more than likely favour Blackburn @ Burnley,

Every footie fan in the world would have been rooting for Stanley
Imagine the advertising revenues Sky sport would have made if only fate had intervened.
As Sky now control football, perhaps they should lobby the FA to ensure that, in future, premier league teams can only be drawn against league 2/non-league teams in rounds 3 & 4.
This would ensure a bumper payday for lower league clubs, who need it the most. After all, football is in the entertainment business.
Where's the FA Cup magic in watching premier league teams battle out scoreless draws in round 3?

don't panic, we could get them in the next round, if CITY get through.

So 3 pm Saturday for the game at the Boro. No TV Coverage so reduced income, maybe a few bob for the minimal highlights. If we get through to the next round and get a home draw, I hope the board will up the price to the TV companies or refuse the camera's entry to the ground. Put the fans first. I wonder if it will be the feature of radio lancs or will we reduced to the goal commentary only? perhaps if Stanley instituted a media ban more people would actually come to the game. Now there is a thought. Perhaps if every club outside the premier did the same then the FA would have to share the money more evenly on the lower leagues. Without us there would be no premier league. Revolution I say.

Leeds tried the media ban, all they got was a court case

That'd be even better, proper neighbourly - bet City wouldn't have done that

Lord Stiffupperlip · 13-01-2017, 17:33

It's a poor show when we get more info from a helpful Boro fan about ticket sales, prices & when available, than our own club.
Still nothing on Fishy about the now confirmed game.
Do we buy tickets from Stanley, or order direct from Boro?????????

Chrisr · 14-01-2017, 17:25

Premier club Boro, £15-£10-£5 Stanley v Luton remember the prices. Stupidity.

st06nc2 · 15-01-2017, 10:17

Any news on if you can buy tickets on match day for those that don't live near accy
