Ok. It was just a friendly & the scoreline is irrelevant, but
if Stanley continue with this more positive attitude the
coming season looks bright.
Best £6 quid's worth of footballing entertainment I've
had in years. Shame more fans weren't there to see it.
Thank you for sharing. I have a feeling that Stanley probably have enough to be mid table except for up front where they have no specialist strikers capable of scoring consistently at this level.
