The bit after 7pm where I heard it is not on iplayer. Sometimes they repeat interviews in that slot from the 6pm - 7pm part of the show. I have skipped through that and not managed to hear it on iplayer.
Key points were the interviewer saying that Stanley were a very good footballing side that improved year on year on relatively limited resources.
Andy Scott agreed. Said John (Coleman) was doing a marvellous job. He had very good players and rebuilt the team each year. He had a knack of finding young players "with a point to prove" and added the right mix of experience to ensure it all worked well in matches at this level.
Accrington was a hard place to go to with a tight ground but the support and atmosphere amongst the fans was superb. The fans were happier and more relaxed than most because there was not the same weight of expectation. The club had come out of non league and the fans were just happy to have a club that was not merely in the football league but was more than holding its own.
He pointed to Coley's longevity at the club and his year on year improvements but said the club had done so incredibly well last season that it would be difficult to maintain that record this season.
The interview went on in the same vein for about 5 minutes with both Andy Scott and the interviewer clearly very impressed by Stanley and what had been achieved.
Clearly Andy Scott bears no ill feeling from Brentford's rained off game a few seasons ago when he ended up having to placate his own fans making a speech to them as they stood on the terrace
Stanley's well earned point was a partial fix for my other team's dreadful result at Stevenage.
