Re: Best Fans in the Land

The most memorable matches for me were:
Peter Swales Trophy at Eton Park against Burton Albion.
Burton had just been promoted to the conference and we had won the cup so it was a 'charity shield' type affair.
The thugs of Burton's howls of "Stand Up For The Champions" were nothing compared to the Stanley cries of "Nigel Clough is illegitimate...."
Paul Burns robbing my jangly hat in the bar afterwards & Jamo making three winners entrances into the bar! Quality!

The other one was away at Whitby in our Unibond winning year.
Stanley had played Droylsden just the day before and we still beat Whitby 4-0, with a 30 minute long version of "We've got the best team in the land..."
Also Jonny Smith there absolutely spaced out after being battered against Droylsden, broken nose, cheekbone, & so much concusion he didn't even remember his wife being preggers! "Where did you get that from?!" he shouted when she walked in the Whitby bar
