On Tuesday the 8th August 2006 “The Club That Wouldn’t Die” will play it first home game in 44 years as a League club.

I personally would like to see this occasion made more memorable than ever. How we do this I don’t know, but I feel that something should be done to celebrate this fact and to commemorate the lasting memory those players, fans, officials and absent friends who weren’t able to witness the achievement of their successors.

This is not to be seen as a wake or a moment of solitude. But a celebration of a fantastic achievement that began as a dream 44 years ago.

What do people think? What would make Tuesday the 8th August special and memorable for you? Apart from thrashing Darlington within an inch of there lives.

For me I like to see Accrington pay tribute to its club by filling every space in the ground. I’d liked the Accrington Pipe Band march on ahead of Accrington Stanley playing Amazing Grace. I would like to see the Ultras proud and steadfast with flags unfurled and raised high in each corner of the ground and the stands ablaze of pride and colour.

These are just drunken thoughts, but I would love the reality to be even better. Let yourselves go and let’s see if some comes out of it.
