Interesting reading your piece from 10 years ago, Mariner. There's been a few things that haven't changed at/with Stanley in the last decade but, blimey, there's a lot that has.
Too many changes to list but a couple of important ones off the top are (1) the return a few seasons ago of manager John Coleman and his assistant, Jimmy Bell and (2) the arrival last year of a new, local owner who has really made an impact on the club and the ground. It seems like more improvements have been made this summer or are about to be made to the former Crown Ground, now the Wham Stadium, than in the previous ten years.
Lot of Stanley fans were glad to see Grimsby secure promotion and look forward to seeing a good following on 25 March.
But don't worry, two things haven't changed for away fans is the uncovered, standing terrace and the tendency for it to rain in Accy.
