Lancs Cup semi-final
 

So how many are planning to go to this one?

Its been tinpot so far but we have a real chance of winning this tie (will Shrek play?) and playing Manure or Blackbore Rovers in the final. I would imagine due to the lateness of the semi that the final will probably be put back until next season as a pre-season warm up with silverware at stake.

Also has any other team won the junior and senior cups within three seasons?

Last game of the season (probably), 12 miles down the road, cheap admission, and a chance to re-live the old days by going on the bus singing Clitheroe Castle is falling down. Lets get mullered and take the goal end stand (it has a roof)

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

I'm a cert.
I went to the second round tie at Rochdale and had a right laugh, every body in the same stand, and being told to "sit down, shut up" by 2 ten year olds after Smithy hit the bar.

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

I'm up for it but when was the last time you tried to get a bus to Clitheroe in the evening, impossible.:(

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

Brilliant, I get to one game this season. Not in the league but this will do. :D

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

Well you could have at least posted the date on here macca, had to go searching for it!!

Think I might be able to make this one :D

Accrington Stanley FC v Bolton Wanderers FC
Monday 7th May 2007
Shawbridge, Clitheroe FC
Kick Off 7.30pm
<!-- ISI_LISTEN_STOP_1 -->

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

If we still have the big van by then I`ll fill it up with people for the short trip.
Unless anyone wants a lovely red Convoy for 500 sheets.
I aint been to Shawbridge since I was about 13, cripes 30 yrs, used to go a lot then.
You`ll have to change your song to-
Clitheroe castle`s having a £3 million refurb.
It`ll probably have a roof before the clayton end.
Provisional names for a lift then. Club Shop 6.30 dya reckon ?

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

You can't get a bus back from clitheroe to accrington after game. You have to go via Blackburn, buses are 225 departing aprox 15past the hour last one 23:15.

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

I'm with the Z man then :D please

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

Nevermind the castle falling down watch that roof behind the goal near the bar its that,that is falling down:D We were there for a friendly game and bits of the roof kept falling off,its a bit dodgy.:)

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

The other semi-final is between Oldham and Blackburn, playing next Monday at Stalybridge 2pm

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

Ill also tek a lift please Mr Z.:)

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

Aye mate, put me down for a lift too. I should be ok to make it.

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

Why didn't they arrange it for an afternoon kick off with it being a bank holiday ?

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

I’m up for it and will be there providing I’m not working (I have to get a job first). I’ll have three or four seats for anyone who wants dropping back at the FES after the match.

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

Not as yet,the've signed another few seasons deal with Bury.There were rumours that FC Utd were buying Gigg lane but haven't heard anything else on that yet either.

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

Sparks and I will be going, three spare seats at the mo........could pick up at FES.

Pm me .

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

If we beat Bolton in the semi, we'll be up against Blackburn in the final - they beat Oldham 2 -1 last night

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

Yeah and the lovely Keith Barker scored the winning goal :D see mr coleman I told you to look at him :rolleyes:

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

add Squaddy to the fun bus please Zman. what time and where?

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

1 adult and 2 children for me. Went on the other night - decent ground, bit sloping. At least we won't get wet. How come they have roofs & we don't? Hope there'll be more red shirts watching on Monday than there was on Tuesday night.

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

Struth...I saw a pic of the ground someone put on another thread and you call it a bit of a slope!!!!!!!!! ??????????????
I am surprised that these 'slopes' or inclines are allowed(including ours.) Would've thought that clubs would have had them levelled in these modern days.I guess it adds character, but......:confused:

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

Just a guess but maybe Liverpool v Chelsea had something to do with it, I was surprised that Coley was there what with his interest in LFC.

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

Ya never had the (mis)fortune of seeing howrich RMI(railway mechanics instute) ground before it bit the dust, it was listing lika ship going down, one of the few pitches where we/they could be wind assisted!

And as for the the stand, we nick-named it the san siro... the stand at what i can only call the maldini end was at least 15 ft above pitch level!!!

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

Horwich? only pool table I ever played that was waterlogged! Stein on tap!

and I wonder if Plum still has the christmas tree?

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

Is Zero still filling the van? And is it still at 6.30?

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

Aye is this still going Z mate?

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

Yeah All set for this one.
I`ve just got the small van as ID is off in the big one.
Should still fit 7 in at a push seeing as it`s only down the road.
6 to half past at the latest from club car park OK
Cowboy U still going with 3 spare ?
Meet up there from 6

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

any chance of Crown car park for partake-ance of alcoholic imbibement?

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

Crown closed for last few days. Landord last seen on a plane to lands afar.

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

oh well .......Oaklea car park?

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

I Wouldn`t like to change the set off location so late.
Maybe everyone wont see it in time.
Can`t you get a tinny for the meet up period.
Don`t wanna give money to Oaklea they don`t book decent bands.
Is there an Ultra Bus going as well ?

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

I take it's a holiday then...:confused: :rolleyes:

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

I have 2 places in my car so will come up to the ground about 6ish tomorrow just in case someone needs a lift...plus not 100% sure where clitheroe ground is so anyone who I give a lift to needs to direct me or I can always follow zeros van :D

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

its a convoy!



right well I'll be in Oaklea around 5:30, then a tinny for the walk to the ground around 6.

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

Doug are you still going because as I see it there are going to be more people wanting lifts than lifts available.

Should we not think of hiring a mini-bus?

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

Sorry Zman, car now full...................not been online for a bit hence the late answer buddy!

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

Lancs Telegraph today - with Coleman and Bell away, club director Graham Charnley will take charge of the team!!!!




oo er


I wonder if Eric'll make it?

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

I'll meet you there at 5:30 for an early evening drink, non-alchoholic of course :D

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

Jase is taking his van too, meeting in car park at 6 ish.
So anyone with a car with spare seats or anyone needing a lift.
Same place same time.

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

Seems very tinpot in my opinion. Wonder what sort of team we'll put out? I was going to go, but might not bother now.

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

You better had TM you`re in the nets :)

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

What's the option, Morecambe v York followed by Charlton v Spurs, I think I will go for a beer and see how it goes.:)

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

I'll still be going, gotta get out and do some serious end of season drinking!

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

:D I was hoping for a position out wide ;)

I'll probably be there. I'm a glutton for punishment.

Re: Lancs Cup semi-final
 

Ok so where were you Bazf ???
