Got to say in all fairness to majority of Bees fans, despite their disappointment they were given the facts as posted today re the FA appointed ref who inspected the pitch at 10am & passed it fit & that the official who called the game off did so after their team had arrived at the ground. In the main most had come to te game as a first time visit with the history of us last playing back in 62 & wanted to see the ground. Common sense led to them being allowed in although their manager only put their viewpoint over as to the game being called off so late, which was unfair gven the efforts of ASFC & particularly Gary who was really upset at his efforts to make the pitch playable up to & beyond the refs decision. Unfortunately so much is made of health & safety these days which had a great bearing on the refs action on the day. Brenfords manager made a gesture of looking at help from their end with travel & Eric has played his part with assurance of reduced admission so lets drop the flak & leave it to the players on the day to finish the job. Rest assured that you Brentford fans who made the effort to meet up with us Stanley fans will receive the same warm welcome on your return-apart from during the match-LOL.
