Pitch news
The pitch at the Crown Ground is bearing up well ahead of this afternoon's match against Salisbury City.
There has been some overnight rain in Accrington though the pitch drainage has coped well, there is no official pitch inspection planned at this stage and as long as there are no torrential downpours ahead of kick off the game will go ahead as planned at 3pm.
Remembrance
Saturday 7th Nov 2009
Minute silence and collection
Please note that there will be a minute silence ahead of this afternoon's game against Salisbury City, to mark the annual act of remembrance for those who have given their lives in the service of their country.
At this time the club also remembers those dear to the club who we have lost recently, particularly including former player Alex Hamilton who was with Accrington Stanley at the time of their demise in 1962 and sadly passed away this week. We also remember those who are no longer with us whom we still hold dear, with our long serving former secretary Phil Terry in our minds, who sadly passed away this time last year.
There will be a collection at this afternoon's game in aid of the Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal and the club would ask all fans to support this very worthy cause.
