C'mon you reds :D Even if we don't move up immediatly it closes the distance between us and teams a bit higher than us, meaning another few wins and we'll move up a lot :)

What a start to 2007!

joint seventh highest scorers in the country this year.

Well then what happened to all those David Brown detractors, suddenly he is a hero. Wish I could have been there, except I got dragged along to some sh*te match at the JJB watching some cheating persons (would love to use stronger language only the mod wouldn't like it tee hee) win 3-0. They should have had only 8 on the pitch but Clattenberg (ref) bottled it. Congratulations Stanley on a magnificent away win. Bring on the rest of the season, we can look forward with some confidence.

Re: Wrek'em Game thread
 

Nothing, but something hs happened to Brown!

Re: Wrek'em Game thread
 

Evening folks
Hope that 3 points were as magnificent for you as they were for us... (those of you at home were probably drier and warmer, but who am I to complain???)

It was tremendous. Simple as that. I think macca asked CAN WE PLAY YOU EVERY WEEK? I wish we could. There were 11 man of the matches, because it was 100% a team performance.

Just to clear a few things up that were a bit hazy due to my vagueness or outright not-seeing-it.
1. I had a bit of a go at Leam, who I thought should've cleared the ball for their goal. There was a suggestion of an elbow, but I didn't see it. However, after the game I saw him sporting a pretty impressive bruise around the eye. So it might've happened!
2. Evil, Welchy and Elliot - was a bit of a domino job. Asked Rob, he said that Evil pole axed Welchy who bounced into him, leaving Evil with a clear shot at goal. For me, still a foul, and the ref spoke to Evil for some time afterwards.
3. ADVERTS (Zero, here's the bit you've been waiting for)
There's a couple of reasons why we had to have them.
- Equipment - switching all our gear around meant that we only had one hand mic between the 2 of us, meaning that I had to do the majority of the talking to avoid endless passing backwards and forwards. I've been a bit poorly of late, and suffering from a sore throat, and couldn't possibly have done the lion's share of a 90 min commentary on my own. Kaz was there to help, but with 2 mics it is far easier and sounds far better.
-Sponsorship- Long story, but the Burnley coverage is sponsored and Stanley isn't (or more truthfully our Stanley sponsor pulled out) that means that with no Burnley we had loads more ads that needed to be played (the same amount for a music show)
-Legal reasons- Technically, Wrexham didn't know we were doing it. At many clubs you need to get special permission from BOTH clubs to do full commentary, and obviously with the short notice, we didn't. Had we just dived straight in then there was a very real chance of us being switched off AND getting into trouble...

I know the adverts are ANNOYING, but it's the only way that the station continues to exist, and broadcast the sports stuff, and keep me in employment...

I hope that the interruptions didn't detract from the experience for anyone. After all, it was a great day, ads or no ads.

P.S It is the case that t'internet listeners have a 5 minute delay. So that's why some of you were lagging behind the text services etc.

Re: Wrek'em Game thread
 

I can't say the ads bothered me too much but that woman did with her "all my friends listen to 2BR" :D

Re: Wrek'em Game thread
 

2Br should fleece every household in the country for over £100 a year then you could have 2 mikes.... oh hang on the BBC beat you to it :D

Re: Wrek'em Game thread
 

Sounds like the team is getting back to its Torquay form with Baines adding solidity to the defence, Harris breaking up and creating moves and Whalley's pace and control upsetting opposing defences. And thankfully David Brown has returned from Burton predatory for goals and doing well.

All Stanley can do is keep on the way they did at Wrexham and aim to drag the teams above them into the fray. Soon enough they will close the gap on the mid table teams and that's where they should finish up.

Hopefully we can bolster the squad with some good signings from the Roberts' and Craney fees.

Up the Football League we go!

Re: Wrek'em Game thread
 

Great result yesterday for Stanley and what a marvellous start to 2007 - this is just what we needed !!! :D :D :D

I have never doubted that we will move away from the relegation zone, and though we have a way to go yet, I am sure that the worst is over.That win is just the confidence booster that the team needed and it's just as well it happened yesterday - especially with Macclesfield in such good form. The game in hand brings Grimsby within striking distance now as well as one or two other teams, and there is plenty of time to move on up.

Wll done to Coley and all the lads !!! :) :) :)
