They pulled it back to a 1-1 draw instead of 0-1 defeat, and for that it was worth the wait. Still Top and every inch a quality team worth watching.

The crowd was tremendous and an excellent gate to boot, long may it continue to grow. I don’t think anyone who was there for the first time would be put off by how the team played today, yes the defence was poor at a critical point, but that’s Football.

The crowd was excellent all round, but none more so than the spirited singing, drumming and banter at the Clayton End, it was friendly and very, very amusing. Well done to the Team and well done to the Supporters.

This was my first Stanley Game in 38 years. It wont be the last.
