Anthony has been groundsman for quite a bit now and there is no dout that he is capable of doing it.
Just walk past the IES soon and see what the pitch is looking like now, its fantastic, and all down to our "young" anthony

Fanx smiffy .. glad someone knows whats going on....

The rest of ya.....the young bit... have a rest boys......the question was asked..no one was insulting anyone or suggesting anything.. it was a perfectly normal question.. dont get paranoid..

Still unanswered is what happened to Jim Shaw

loweiy · 24-06-2005, 08:45

I think Jim may be unwell

KIPAX · 24-06-2005, 08:59

In that case we could really do to know whats going on... If that unwell maybe a card from stanley fans at the very minimum....

big al · 24-06-2005, 13:48

Good point Tony. Come on Rob, spill the beans. Is it a get well card or compliments for all your work & enjoy your retirement card we need?
& Adam, Don't get too comfy, you'll be wanting a bus pass to go with the slippers & pipe next.

I presume Accy fixtures come first of course.. But what about as allways happens.. we have to re arrange many fixtures due to cup runs ect...can we then move harwood fixtures to better accomodate us mid season or only when the fixtures are out..

Talking of fixtures.. If the NWCL fixtures are out before ours then how does that work in our favour?

Are there any Great Harwood fans on this MB?

We (Skem) ground shared with Burscough a couple of seasons ago, due to us getting a new stadium.. You have nothing to worry about, Accy will have full priority and GH and the NWCL will work around your fixtures. We even had to play an FA cup game on a Sunday, it is workable

I have information from inside the club that Jim retired several months ago. Even so he has put a lot of years into the club & laid the base for Anthony to continue with. I remember him telling me when he first took over that the ground was so bad there weren't even any worms in the soil to aerate the pitch. Surely he deserves more than just a quiet demise from the club. Thanks Jim from me & I am sure many other long term supporters who have viewed Jims contribution to the club.

Adam Cottier · 25-06-2005, 22:46

To be honest when I first came to Stanley I was astonished at the fine quality of the pitch. I remember asking Mick who was the groundsman at the time (around Christmas) so I could give him a mention on the radio. Stanley are unbeaten at home in 2005 and I fel the standard of the pitch has a lot to with it. It could rival any league club and long may it continue because nobody wants to see or play football on a poor surface. I think Mr Shaw will be badly missed if he has gone.

Cafu01 · 26-06-2005, 11:52

He is now 70 years old and last season when the weather was bad he couldnt go on with the tractor because it wud make tire marke, so he got the roller, put the chain round his back and dragged it him self for about 3 hours. Top guy!!!
eeeee hell anthony

Yep he will be, BUT if you look at the pitch from Christmas last season and the start of this season you be sure to say its in 'safe hands'...
