Anyone Excited?
 

I will start this thread for depechemode, I hope it passes the Zombie Test.:rolleyes::p

Anyone excited? I am. I would be more if we signed someone to partner Mullin up front.
I’ve put the fixtures up at work and already started booking trips for clients to watch the matches. My sons are gearing up for the new season, now all we need is to know is the design of the new strip.
I’m thinking of bringing a brick with me to each game to try and save Eric a few pounds on building materials for the new stand.

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

Im guessing by the lack of responses that nobody is over excited about the start of the season! :)

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

I'm not excited at all. I'm going to try to be more positive this coming season, but I'm not looking forward to it. I'm not sure what it is, but interest levels are still pretty low.

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

Im with Tm on this, and my guess is that it is the lack of any significant info coming from the club that is causing me not to get excited, I havent even bothered to go to any pre season games.......not like me......and TBH I really dont fancy going to the Burnley one either.

Sadly I feel rather apathetic towards the Club at the moment, am I the only one, I wonder? :(

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

With possibly three teams starting on minus points and the rubbish served up last season along with the lack of transfer activity so far I have the same feeling.:(

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

Am I going to run out of people to stand with and be insulted by ? :D

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

Dave you will never run out of people to insult you.

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

Ya claret scum :D

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

Slowly my optimism level is rising:eek:

I am hopeful that the three lads who came through the Youth setup will make an impact, two of the signings we have made so far carry a wealth of experience at a higher level and hopefully will help to bring a more solid unit on the pitch.

Hopefully the Exhibition will raise awareness of the Club in the town itself, particulary with the Kids and encourage them to come along to the FES with their Parents to home games it would be great to see our Home gate average move nearer the the 1600-2000 mark the Season Ticket Sales are a great start.

I hope that by keeping the squad size down and overall wage bill less that this is with the New Stand in mind. I am pretty sure as always there is lot going on behind the scenes that we do not see that over the coming weeks & months will bear fruit both on & off the Pitch.

There are things that do worry me!! But is that not part & parcel of being a Football Fan especially following Stanley? but more importantly we are still a Football League Club, what would you have given for that 5,10,15,20 or 40 Years Ago?:)

Bring on the Burnley:jimbo:

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

well Iam going to do my bit and try to bring a few of my children's mates along and hopefully my brother when rovers arnt playing . Also I will be bringing clients from work when I am in .

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

I think you're spot on Cowboy. There has been very little information coming out of the club since the end of the season and I'm slowly losing interest. I know that we haven't signed many players (only one properly signed I believe), but what's stopping the club from keeping fans up to date with how training is going, what Coleman's been up to, etc, etc?

I posted some time ago about the dangers of alienating the fans, but nothing seems to have changed. I can honestly say that I'm less interested now than I have been in years. Shame really.

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

That has always been the problem for the last few years TM. And the loger it goes on for, the less forgiving people become or worse still, the less interested people become.

We have become a 'want it now' society and the internet gives us the tools to 'have it now'. If you want to find information out you can google it and there it is - but somebody has to have input the information from the other end.

Not a day should go by without something happening on the website. It gives us something to look at and talk about. And the biggest crime of nothing happening is that fans speculate - and that gives rise to tittle tattle.

Its not that long since we won website of the year in one of the leagues we left behind

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

Once again I think you've hit the nail on the head Macca. It is hard to believe that it's not long since we won the Website of the Year award! Now it seems to me that the fishy site is just stagnant, As you say, even the odd titbit about training (or anything going on at the club!) would keep people's interest. It just seems at the moment that no-one can be bothered with it!

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

It looks from the outside like the club are not interested in the fans.

As the OSC do you not have regular meetings with the club where such things are discussed? When you have meetings do any of the club management attend so they can listen to what the fans say?

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

Has John Mullin signed yet? Last week it was still being hoped for.

Haven't seen a reply to any of my emails to the club on the subject of George Stewart.

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

You most certainly are not Cowboy !....and I've lost my Rose-colored glasses as well !!.....

COME ON 'FISHY' ...GIVE US SUMMAT TO TALK ABOUT !!...OR ANYTHING!!!:sleep::sleep::sleep:

'What me Worry '....Mmmmmm ?????

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

cant wait roll on the new season plenty of more football and drinking :D

tbh though i cant wait till april that will get the biggest thread of the year when the club releases its turn-over for the tax year :rolleyes::confused:

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

I tend to agree with you bagpuss,after the last two seasons it's hard to get excited about this coming season.Not much coming out of FES to boost excitement levels,i've been to the friendlies at darwen & rossendale and with the exception of 2 or 3 players nothing happened to really impress me.I hope the players prove me wrong because what matters most to me is the survival of accy in the league.

IT'S WHERE WE BELONG:alright:

ACCCY TILL I DIE AND THEN SOME..............:hidewall:

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

Well Diesel is excited,mentioned this thread to him earlier and said he can't wait!
He is as optimistic as ever and is looking forward to seeing Stanley in the play-offs!

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

does that mean he is coming back on the clayton end again???..... weekend trip to Bournemouth for a honeymoon???

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

Yeah he will be back!
With me in tow i'm afraid!
And as for Bournemouth,I don't think so!!

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

Can but hope that the club gets information out sooner rather than later. Lets hope that the team spring some surprises in the league when it starts..............must clean my glasses sometime soon :p :)

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

Despite the increasing likelihood that we are going to be operating with a skeleton playing staff and the lack of news about new shirt launches, season ticket availability etc emanating from the club, I'm starting to get a little bit excited now. I know it's been said so many times it's almost a cliche now, but ten years ago I wouldn't have dared to dream that we'd be starting our third season back in the league in 2008/09.

...and I really am looking forward to visiting that real ale pub in Burslem for the first away league match! :cool:

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

What people are saying on this thread is quite right . There is non or very little information coming out of F.E.S.What has happened to the loan signings, it was discussed in the local papers about Jamie Clarke coming on loan from Blackburn Rovers, this news quite excited me, but this seems to have died a death, I wonder if Ince has stopped this loan? It wouldn't surprise me. Coley now is saying he hopes to get a Striker in from a Championship Club, there is definitely somthing untoward going on at the F.E.S.

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

not excitied at all.
we have 1 recognised striker at the club (john miles is not a striker, infact he is not a footballer).
i expct us to sign/get on laon at least another 3 forwards, a winger and a centre half.

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

:)well im excited burnley match on saturday 1weeks holiday to spain and everton match on the wednesday when we get back!!!cracking stuff ;):):D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

Promotiion , Relegation or mid-table mediocrity....Its going to be a bumpy ride as is always the case at ASFC and I for for one am as excited as ever

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

Despite the lack of info coming out of the club surely any football fan has to be excited coming up to a new season?
The possibilities,the optimism it has to get to you,surely!!

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

I'm actually more excited about watching the Premiership on Sky HD.

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

The pain of dissapointment, the feel good factor of a victory...I love it all..BRING IT ON.

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

tin monkey why are you bothering to go next season ???????? never a happy tone in your post .

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

...unlike yourself, of course - a veritable beacon of joy and contentment and an inspiration to us all last season! ;)

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

ohh my god, i heard everything now.:D

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

Let the Good times roll again.................

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

Tongue is obviously firmly embedded in your cheek, but to answer your question... I'll be there next season for 2 reasons. Firstly, I've been going to watch Stanley for the last 31 years and so therefore it's like a habit that I can't kick it. Secondly, I enjoy the social aspect of the games. I enjoy the banter and the humour of the people I regularly chat with, so whatever the quality of the football, I always leave the game feeling like I've had a good experience.

As I've said a load of times on here, losing football matches isn't something that gets me down anymore. I obviously enjoy it more when we play well and win games, but I've been going long enough to know that losing matches isn't the end of the world.

The difference this year is that I'm not really looking forward to the football part of the season. A large part of that is that I truly believe that we're going to struggle big time, but more importantly I feel that some of the fire has gone out of me. I'm hoping for re-ignition and bought another season ticket on the back of it. I hope that was a good decision. :)

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

you cant look at bradford city in same light any more as a ex prem team , if we beat , lets say Nelson , would you class that as beating an ex first division side ???? we drew with darwen , an ex first division team .

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

did you copy and paste that from someone elses post TM????

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

Getting beat p####s me off but I love the club win or lose , but when we do lose am buggered if i buy a sunday paper . my son has the stanley bug , he loves being close to the pitch and players . he was thrilled to bits to get mullers autograph and even more when spoken to by paul , you dont get that at ewood . mind you am sure P.I will bring them to our level of football soon . we mite pass them on the way up . Another Leeds united ????

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

Yeah! Because that's what I do. Numpty!

When you've been going as long as me, I might allow you to acknowledge my presence.

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

TM has it right, football isn't a choice for many - it's a way of life, a rite of passage. Its something you just do. There are times in life (like this season for me) when you just can't make it. But like a comfy pair of shoes you know you'll soon be there again.

The results become irrelevant.

How low did we feel when we got relegated for the first time ever back in 97 (?)
... and who would have thought then that we would have three promotions within six years? Football ebbs and flows and you have to take each ebb knowing that you have had your flow or are due for a flow. We've had more flow than ebb so I'm relatively happy. Constant progress is a ridiculous expectation.

But in saying all that I do concede that people are maybe not enjoying the experience as much as possible and that progress can be made in many ways other than that of the playing staff and final league standings. That is where Stanley can improve massively - and most of that improvement can be done for free.

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

Was going to comment on DM's Sunday paper buying, then thought better of it, hence the quick edit!

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

Iv been going for about 28 years or so , bit younger then you tin ape . mind you think yonmon is younger then you.

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

It was 1999 and it was a ghastly shock. Till then I thought the club only had no reverse gear. There had been nothing so unthinkable since Wigan fell from the top flight of Rugby League while I was at Uni.

Too late, subscribers to this thread got the unedited version via e-mail.:)

lol bagpuss

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

Guess what? I'm feeling excited about tomorrow!!! I'm feeling like a giddy girl...... otherwise known as Depeche Mode. :D

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

well said yonmon , all a bit of fun . roll on 3pm .

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

Stick it up The Shots? We're only coming for a football match thank you and it's only fair you let us win looking at the previous results.

Re: Anyone Excited?
 

Lets hope we win for DM's sake, We wouldn't want him to have to buy a sunday paper, and go through the pain that must involve !:surprise::surprise:
Would we ???
