Re: Ground Inspection
 

no news is good news?

Re: Ground Inspection
 

I think you meant no news is typical :D









Only kidding!

Re: Ground Inspection
 

No you're not!! :D

We'll find out how it went next season, when we're in the Vodkat League!

Re: Ground Inspection
 

Is that where you get put into because surely a league will have one more team in than it usually does if we did get chucked out like say a league has 21 teams in normally than it would have to have 22 teams in as you can not move another team to put us in if you get what i am trying to say

Re: Ground Inspection
 

They would move another Team up out of that League MCR, to replace the Team that was relegated. A couple of season's ago when Boston went into admin on final day, they were relegated into Conf. North (I think) instead of the B.S.P. and some else replaced them. But that will not happen to us, because everything will be done on time. :):):)

Re: Ground Inspection

Re: Ground Inspection
 

Thanks for that J T - Great news..:):)

Re: Ground Inspection
 

Cheers, JT, good news. Can't wait to get back to the Clayton End next season!

Re: Ground Inspection
 

Why does it take a fan on a messageboard to tell us this information? Why can't it be on the official site?

Don't bother answering. I know the answer already.

Re: Ground Inspection

Re: Ground Inspection
 

Was going to post the exact same thing... Still nowt on the site!

Re: Ground Inspection
 

I spoke to Rob Heys "on the record" about this earlier today - essentially he says all went okay.

The interview will go out in tomorrow's 2BR Sport, and there will also be some details in news bulletins this afternoon.

Hope that helps!

Ground passes final Football League requirement
Accrington Stanley are delighted to have had our Football League status confirmed for 2009/10 with the news that we have officially increased our covered seating capacity to over 2,000 while maintaining an overall capacity of over 5,000.

The ground has been inspected by Lancashire County Council and the details of the new capacities passed across to the Football League, who require the above figures to be met by 1st May in a club's third season in the competition.

Speaking about the news Stanley's general manager David O'Neill said "A lot of hard work has gone on over the last few months, with much of it in the planning stages making sure that the ground operates correctly on a match day with the changes that we have put in place. More recently our director Bill Holden has put in a tremendous effort to get the physical job done, saving the club thousands of pounds, and we must also give a big thank you to the army of volunteers that have helped to make sure that the deadline was met. Now this box has been ticked we can get back to concentrating on the running of the club, preparing for 2009/10 and another season in the Football League."

Re: Ground Inspection
 

Well done to everyone involved.. but in paticular to Dave O'Neill !!! He has driven this project all the way.

Southern Red was right all along :rolleyes: The seats are in on time...That will cost me a beer or twenty :D

Re: Ground Inspection
 

What's the situation now concerning the police box? Didn't that have to be replaced or something?

Re: Ground Inspection
 

perhaps its been delayed with the "Swine Flu" outbreak!:D;)
