Alsager away
 

Non-League paper says there is a pre-season friendly: Alsager Town v Accrington Stanley on Wed 12 July. Is this the first team or Stanley reserves?

Who?
Where?

Re: Alsager away
 

See http://www.alsagertown.co.uk/. Near Crewe, not far from M6 J16, just finished 3rd in NWCFL and promoted to Unibond 1 (remember that?). We played them in a friendly a couple of seasons ago. They've recently suffered damage from a break in so this may be a friendly gesture from Coley to help them out.

As far as I am aware, this is a benefit match for John Brown, who is a friend of Coley's. He used to play at Ashton when John was there I think, and ended his career at Alsager Town, where he played his final game at the end of last season. This was a good season for The Bullets, who might well have finished runners up to Cammell Laird but for losing three games in the closing stages, and have now been promoted to the Unibond League.

Alsager Town have lost equipment worth between £3500 and £4000 in a series of break-ins since Christmas, which is a great shame as they are a really friendly little club who can hardly afford losses on this scale. Any Stanley fans who can get down there for the match would be very welcome, I am certain, and I am going to try to get there for this event, even though it is midweek.

I should also add that all proceeds from this benefit match are going to the Donna Louise Trust, for children who are terminally ill.

Re: Alsager away
 

Just read about this on alsager site.. seems in 6 days time we are playing a charity game there.. for a good cause... I wonder when stanley fans get told ?

Re: Alsager away
 

There's more on Alsager's site: http://alsagertown.proboards12.com/i...ead=1151570441. I believe Coley's taking a mixed side and that there'll be something on the fishy site soon.

Re: Alsager away
 

What I mean is.. its for charity.. surely they want more people there? and if its all been set weeks ago.. why havent we been told when theres now only a few days left.. seems a bit strange to keep it from the stanley fans.

Re: Alsager away
 

And its still not on the official site, not having a dig, just stating a fact ;)

Re: Alsager away
 

I agree.... its now 4 days away.. its a charity event.. its an away game.. and it was organised quite some time ago.. yet officially we arn't even playing it...

Re: Alsager away
 

:confused:

Im sure Asager Town woud love to hear that .... :(

Re: Alsager away
 

They have the same internet me and you have. they can see theres nothing on the official site or fixture list..

Re: Alsager away
 

But it has been confirmed on thier official site, so there we go :)

Re: Alsager away
 

where ? i dont see anything.

Re: Alsager away
 

haaa theirs :)

and stanley fans are supposed to look at every football club website in the country in case we play them ? :)

Re: Alsager away
 

No, because you would basically expect it to be on your own clubs official site, but obviously not ....:rolleyes:

Re: Alsager away
 

I think we are both in 100% agreement here, I htink just about everyone else agrees...

Re: Alsager away
 

Agrees on .... ? that all the latest stanley news should be posted on the official website before bieng broadcasted here ... ? yeah, i agree with that :D

Re: Alsager away
 

ABSOLOUTLY! and somehting I ahve been trying to convince the club of for years... I ahte reading things on here or other websites or the observer before reading it on the fishy site... Its somehting I have a dig at the club about a lot.. especially at rob.... but i never seem to make much headway .... it should be on the fishy site FIRST or at the same time as other places

Re: Alsager away
 

Agreed. Maybe something should be said to the club, i mean, why have an official site if it is inactive and nearly last to know all the latest news ... ?

Re: Alsager away
 

sorry, haven't been much involved in this, will chase it up this afternoon and get the full story...

Re: Alsager away
 

Also, i know its off topic, but when actually is Elliot expected to sign
As he is under contract at another club, he cant be played as a trialist/free agent tommorow, which also leaves another problem of who we would play between the sticks ...

Any clue rob ?

Re: Alsager away
 

Might the great Andy Dibble play again?
