Stanley were from c. 1972 my favourite non league team and from 1976 the Owls my favourite league team. Now they are both in the league I have a potential conflict which I cannot resolve. I suppose it would depend who needed the result more.
A few weeks ago I had John Coleman's interview with Radio Lancashire on my PC in my left ear and Paul Sturrock's interview with Radio Sheffield on my radio in my right ear.
I could not bear to turn either of them down even though it left me not being able to hear either of them properly.
All I can say is whilst I am delighted at the Owls' recent upturn in fortunes I am not enjoying the season at all because of Stanley's recent run of results and my worries about replacing Craney, Roberts and bolstering our attack.
It must be great just to support Accrington Stanley but with the club 44 years out of the league and the support supplemented by a good few people like myself coming from outside the club's natural catchment area I hope you can put up with us dual supporters at least until enough people from Hyndburn are prepared to fill the FES and the visitors' ends at the away games.
A Stoke supporting friend who was at the Swindon game commented on the cosmopolitan atmosphere with quite a few other clubs' supporters at the FES. Amongst these were Liverpool fans and supporters of both Sheffield clubs.
