Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

Now i've got home, dried out, warmed up, defrosted with the help of a nice chicken tikka vindaloo I would like to say thanks for a great day, free admission, good crowd, plenty of Guinness and 3 points to finish it off with.
Sure many will post behind me to show their appreciation for what you have done today.
Many of us would have paid anyway and will be paying next week, for those who don't usually go think of it this way, if you go next week you will have seen 2 matches for the price of one - still cheap isn't it :D
hope to see you next week.

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

Absolutely….

A fantastic gesture from the club, a fantastic game and apart from the odd juvenile dick, a good crowed. One can only hope that those who braved and saw through the weather and enjoyed an entertaining performance by the lads come back again and again. Thank you Accrington Stanley.

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

Yeh would like to say thanks:D Had a fantastic day & just got back :o spent a bit longer in clubhouse after for serious liquid relief & dry out ah well great atmosphere indeed:D Still peed wet thro tho but worth it & wouldnt of missed it for the world!

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

very drukn


fankoo

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

Ditto Ditto and Ditto to all the above. Abso-bloody-lutely fantabidozy.

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

All above sentiments agreed with :D

Well done Eric and the Board, a gamble but hopefully well worth it.

Good to see a good few Torquay fans there as well.

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

Yeahhh we wont ask about their coach trip home:rolleyes: :D

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

Stanley played with spirit this afternoon (the one they forgot to take to Rochdale) and had they not clinched the three points, I'd have still come away happy. Although Torquay appeared to be getting a grip towards the half time mark, the second half was a good ol' rollercoaster reducing me to a bag of profanity spouting nerves. As it is, I'm well impressed. I think it might be worth the pnumonia! Seriously, was so wet I was jealous of those sitting in the main stand and I bypassed the pub on the way home infavour of a hot cup of tea and dry clothes.

Thankyou Eric for the freebie today - your plan worked. :D

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

A great game and cheers Eric for the gesture. If i have one gripe (i'm aloud one gripe free game or not) it was with the idiots (best i can think of to describe them without swearing) who tried to ruin the minutes silence, safe to say unless we have anymore free games they will not be HEARD from again.

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

same here to all of the above , ive had a great day thanks to the club.. looking foward to coming again.. and quite happy to return (and pay.) well done..

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

LOL was great meet a lot of people from the stanley forum here & Jimbo, who was sighing releif that he can come back hehehehehe:D

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

Yeh true point & some peed up blue & white nutters from behind us that were only stanley fans till 5.15pm:rolleyes:

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

At least they got theire come uppance with them getting beaten at home by West Ham after leading 1 nil.:) Forget that lot though - well done to our lads today, all played as though they meant it and weren't gonna be happy with anything less than 3 points (which they thoroughly deserved). Bring on the Welsh next week - can't bloody wait ;)

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

Can't believe it! Me and Mrs H get back from a week's holiday in Rome late this afternoon. I turn on ceefax and find we've won with a late goal...great stuff. Then I see the gate....am I still suffering from the after-effects of too much vino?... have the people of Accrington suddenly realised they've got a football team?...finally, realisation dawns when I look on t'fishy site. A bold move by the club and one that seems to have paid off. But it's just my luck...the most atmospheric game all season (I would imagine) and I've missed it! Still, a great result! :)

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

I wouldn't go as far as saying that, there has been better, I think the weather had a lot to do with it today

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

LOL tho there were a few weather affected chants from Posh & sparkie:rofl38:

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

Fantastic Result And Fantastic Gesture To Let Every One In Free . Shame I Missed The Goal I Left A Min Before For The Long Journey Home . Never Mind At Least I Had A Smile On My Face On The Way Back

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

You were not alone in missing the goal, every week i see people leaving early, come on, we're well known for scoring late late goals.
Hats off to you though for making the long journey up for the home games, especially as some of those who live walking distance away can't be arsed to make the effort.

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

Well we had a great day!!!even in the wind and rain and having to travel via blackburn to get bk to clitheroe....no buses for clitheroe after 5pm wats that all about?


and yes now we know stanley think bout familes and allow kids in under 12 for free every home match we will doing it all again next wk

lets just hope we have better weather


thanks stanley!

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

Well what a day/night!!!! The only down was getting absolutely wet through...as I wasn't in my normal footy gear as going out after, took ages to dry off after (thanks to oaklea).

Great to see such a big crowd and thanks to KSH for the drinks, sorry I repaid you by thumping you in the mouth :o not on purpose of course

Just one thing though......



STOP IT WITH THE POSH!!!!!!! :p

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

Right POSH, what ever you say POSH :D

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

Hmmm take it the posh bit is aimed at me :rolleyes: that is so not going to stick now is it Mel :mad: :p anyway remind me what these weather affected chants were then?? :D

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

Hehehe:D chants sort of went 'we are freezing' 'please stop raining' that sort of thing:rolleyes:

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

Hee hee, your new avatar of the cookie monster is very current too, hey sparkie :D :rolleyes:

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

Hehehehehe i said i have some cookie monster avatars - especially for sparkie as plenty of cookies were doing the rounds before & during the match;) :D

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

I dunno, didn't beat Rochdale away in my opinion...


And I have to say I was very surprised that Eric didn't buy us a drink after the game... seeing as we gave him a sing-song :eek: ;)

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

LOL tho he did mention gates being double next week being the response to the buying of drinks:eek:

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

I wanna cookie!!!!!!

when I remember the chants I'll post them!

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

DISGUSTED.
I have been on big grounds for big games in the past where a minutes silence has been totally observed with 75,000 people, I have heard of Burnleys so called fans disrepecting in the past. Probably mugs who attach themselves to that part of lancs or it was probably the first games they had been in their lives. I think if it was free every week we would start to see banning orders being issued. Its safe to say that they wouldnt of been there if it wasnt free.

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

Do you reckon the Iraqi war was started by Burnley fans as well ? :mad:

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

No but the noise during the minutes silence wasn't made by Tony Blair and George W Bush either!!!!

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

Lancsdave,

The MAJORITY of Burnley fans who have been on the FES have been NO PROBLEM, however ther have been a few who have let themselves down over the years,ie the guys who 'threw' their so called mate OVER the wall of the Clayton End at a pre-season friendly:eek: :eek: ......how He wasnt more seriously injured is beyond me!

We are NOT tarring all Burnley fans with the same brush ( although it can read like that sometimes)........merely the idiotic few mate!

Actually where we were stood, we had to put up with some rather unsavoury Blackburn 'fans', at least we did till half-time when they decided to go!!

You will always get Idiots no matter where you go, and I know that you dont need me to tell you that mate............just look at Doug and His famous 'gestures' :D :D :D :p :p :p

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

Blimey lets blame the Burnley fans eh:rolleyes: nowt said about the blackburn fans lot that was peed up to eyeballs with the voddie hidden in coat chanting only a stanley fan till 5:15!!! swearing & obviously knew nowt about stanley nor the chants mmmm only there for the freebie:rolleyes:

Just thought i'd even that up with fact!

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

I understand that. I have to say that until joining Accyweb I never realised the anti-Burnley feeling from Accringon people, not just the football but in general. I know my place :)

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

:rofl38: yeh tell us about it he's a bloody hooligan we have to keep reminding him about his medication:eek: :D

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

Alistair Campbell? :rolleyes:

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

Who said it was Burnley fans making the noise because from where I was (right next to them) they where Blackburn.

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

Next week look across to the main stand and you’ll see the idiot making gestures in your directions just before going in the club house for a nice half time pint. The gesture wont be “Fancy a Jar” just in case you where both wondering….:D :thefinger

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

:) thanks eric whalley brilliant jesture youve done your part lets hope the people of hyndburn do theirs :Banane08:

theres only one eric whalley!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

who cares who they were we should all congratulate ours selves{stanley supporters**for standing up to them and telling them to shut up if theres a god he'll give us 3 points on saturday;)
cmonstanley

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

I have read about the 'noise' made by the so called fans from other towns, but I am suprised no-one has mentioned the slight slip up made by our illustrious new tannoy man during the minutes silence. very big oooooops!!

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

Great point there Ozzy that was a big fluff up far worse than one or 2 ignoramouses:(

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

I wouldn't say it was worse as it was an accident unlike the divvy's shouting!!! grrr :mad:

I reckon there's a life long fan who was looking down at the time and when tannoy man slipped up chuckled and thought

"You have to expect that at accy stanley" :D

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

yes thank you accrington stanley, for fielding players that are not supposed to be playing, i hope you get and enjoy your 7 point deduction, and be happy in the conf next year, you might then realise we are not welsh.

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

An early town charter from 1189 granted by King Richard describes it as ‘Hereford in Wales’. This charter also gave Hereford it’s city status.

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

king richard was as blind as you lot.

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

don't take the hump

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

the wrong Richard but who cares

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

If I win the lottery before the end of the season ALL the remaining game will be free, I'll pay you all in, I'll even pay for away travel if I hit the big one :D

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

Well done KSH. To think, splashing out £60K on the back of a ten quid win, you are an real hero mate. Remind me to buy you a pint. (if I can get to the Bar)

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

I'll do the same :)

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

Don't think i'll be doing it if I only win a tenner Doug :eek:

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

****** that I'd start afresh with Great Harwood :D:D:D

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

What do we do? I think almost every Accrington Stanley fan would put their hand deep into their pocket for the club if they won the Lottery big time. But how much would be too much. What are the limits of sensibility?

On the back of KSH’s generous offer to pay us all in on anything over a tenner what would you do for the club on the back of a £1,000,000.00 win.

Obviously I’d stick 50k in towards the Roo (there’s no F in Roof) and would sponsor at least a couple of games in my own name and offer limited support for a development project of some kind, you know, “rehabilitate a Burnley Support” type of thing.

On a more serious note if I ever win the Cross bar Challenge I promise to give the Supporters club at least £200 of it, and I pledge a third of any 50/50 winnings to the Supporters club.

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

cheers Doug, thanking you muchly sir!

and if I win the lottery Doug I'll make you a life member of the OSC! I'll buy a tree to hang bananaman on, I'll build the roof and put a lot of money into the commercial side. Give the club the facilities to earn its own money.

build and furnish four catering stalls
extend the clubhouse to include proper sized clubshop, thus providing ....
a new office or two in the office block
double tier the offices to include extra hospitality in the roof trusses
buy accy amateurs ground (or at least just the car park) and start charging for car parking
move the bloody away fans to the Clayton End. Shove them and their damn coaches as far out of the way as possible from the pitch leaving managers and officials so that we reserve the right to boo them off
look at feasible ways of developing the Whinney Hill stand into a family stand and filling it
buy 2 or three minibuses and some community liaison officers to staff em and take back the town from claret and blue and white.
Provide free away travel for all season ticket holders on proviso that season tickets remain reasonably priced
send christmas cards to all OSC members!

then I'll be skint

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

He must have been to have given your dump city status :D

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

no i am not from accy.

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

Well thankfully for us you don't have to - and if you make racist remarks like that on Saturday you won't even get time to look around it cos you'll be on your way back home quicker than you can say sheep!

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
