Well May was upon us, we had just two games to go and our momentous season would be drawing to an end
We started out at home to Chesterfield and for the second time in a year, we dented their play off hopes
An inspired double substitution from Jonny Coleman – Football Genius, followed by both men Miles and Kee, linking up to open the scoring, then with a few minutes to go Billy adding his second, the 18th win of a difficult season and
60 points barrier broken for the first time!!!
Our final (and 60th including S.O.S.) game was away to Cheltenham Town, a Team we had beaten 4-0 at home way back in October. In that game, Chris Turner scored his 1st – and only!! - goal for Stanley, until today!!!!!!
A point away at Cheltenham, with a 1-1 draw, saw us manage 61 points this season and we finished up with
79 goals and a massive well done to – ironically! –
HAGGIS316, who guessed correctly, that Stanley would score
79 this season!!!
Karma sent!!
A tame end to a season, that had - at one stage - promised so much, yet at some stages along the way, looked like it could have been the end! All in all a great season, another year on year improvement and the basis of a FANtastic squad to build on for next season!!!
