Crewe at Home
 

Changed to Friday night
Accrington Stanley

Re: Crewe at Home
 

A good move in the current climate IMHO, lets hope the gate reflects it :)

Re: Crewe at Home
 

gotta say though it possibly inconveniances some folk, its fer the greater good n a damn sensible move. IMHO.:)

Re: Crewe at Home
 

If we get two thirds of the support we got last Friday, then it must be viewed a success. If however, we match or better that crowd, then lets play all our home matches on a Friday night, even if I cannot make some of them due to work commitments. To quote our antipodean friend "Good on Yer Stanley"

Re: Crewe at Home
 

I just hope that we do not lose out on Alex fans, without replacing them by more floating fans...

Re: Crewe at Home
 

I think most Alex fans will still come as it's a new ground for them.

Re: Crewe at Home
 

Would've thought we wouldn't lose that many Alex fans, as it's only about 50 miles to come, isn't it? If it was a southern team, it might be different.

It's worth a try to see if we can pull some of the casual fans in that we did last Friday. Maybe we could promote it along the lines of "Your two-club weekend starts here...watch Stanley on Friday, watch your first team on Saturday, an action-packed weekend of football"...or am I getting too carried away, as usual? ;)

Re: Crewe at Home
 

Posted via Mobile Device Think its a good move, yeah i will probably be able to make this one too lol. Dont think it would bear too much on alex fans, like its been said new ground to them, who knows they may chuck a bit of change in a bucket adding the football focus too :)

Re: Crewe at Home
 

Really looking forward to this fixture. It shows just how far our football has come (since the historic cup match 17 years ago).

Re: Crewe at Home
 

Should be another belter, big crowd will make a difference

Re: Crewe at Home
 

Or.....If no one else has suggested it in a posting which I have missed !....
Why not introduce a slightly different element into the proceedings........


'THE S-FACTOR !'.... ...BE PART OF IT NOW !! '

'ON STANLEY!!....ON !!!!'

Re: Crewe at Home
 

I love that. Well said that man.:)

Re: Crewe at Home
 

Would've thought we wouldn't lose that many Alex fans, as it's only about 50 miles to come, isn't it? If it was a southern team, it might be different.

I think it maybe nearer 65/70 miles WH ;) :) I agree with the "New Ground" aspect and I hope that most people still come, but if the overall crowd is higher then it is a good move :) :)

Re: Crewe at Home
 

i like it . i would have been in spain so wel dun from me i will be there thanks 4 the game move 4 me lol

Re: Crewe at Home
 

Eastwood Town not playing?:)

Re: Crewe at Home

Re: Crewe at Home
 

Don't care if its a tax bill that brings them all back (even Shurm & his moaning.....) as long as they are back for good...........

Re: Crewe at Home
 

Hi folks. just heard about this. Ill pop down again and try to get some others with me. Quite a few couldnt go last time who may go now. Ill give the crown a go this time.

Re: Crewe at Home
 

If you carry on at this rate you will be in the running for "Supporter of the year" ;) :D

Re: Crewe at Home
 

Been on The Alex Website, trying to encourage as many as possible to turn up :) :)

Re: Crewe at Home
 

LOL Valairian, u will have to keep us posted about the opinion - all good i hope :D

Re: Crewe at Home
 

Good idea, well I can guess your attendances better than you lot :) :)

Anyway well need some fans of our own if we dont start winning soon. :)

Re: Crewe at Home
 

I sure some of us would'nt mind coming to a Bury game when Stanley arn't playing?? Should start it as an ongoing thing.

Plenty of spare seat in the South Stand:p:p:p

It would be nice to see teams like Morecambe, Bury, Stanley, Crewe maybe even Rochdale all helping each other out despite the rivalry between us.

Mind you we won't have to worry bout Dale when they Merge with Oldham:D

Re: Crewe at Home
 

Sadly with the game now a day before i think that will shave atleast 200 off our away support as quite alot of our fans go via train and its not possible to get back to Crewe via train after the match.

I reckon we will only take around 300 to your place now. Maybe a few more although we did take 1,200 to Shrewsbury on Saturday.

Good luck with the fundraising!

Re: Crewe at Home
 

Not possible? What is up with you lot? 10.13 from Accy to Preston, 10.49 from Preston to Manchester Piccadilly, 11.53 from Piccadilly to Chester, have a leisurely stroll round Chester, then 4.23 from Chester, arriving back in Crewe at 4.44.

Soft southerners! ;)

Re: Crewe at Home
 

What so get back at 4:44am in the morning?

Re: Crewe at Home
 

What's up with that? Roll in about 5, a brew and a bacon butty, followed by a quick 40 winks in the chair, and you'll in the pub by Saturday lunchtime!

You southern lads just don't know how to live!

Re: Crewe at Home

Re: Crewe at Home
 

Love it! Funniest thing I've read all day .......

:D:D:D:D:D

Re: Crewe at Home
 

This bit of cheeky, yet ironic, badinage fills the THREE of us with total admiration Wyn!!,

'ON STANLEY....ON!!!!'

Brill

Re: Crewe at Home
 

made me laugh :)................not sure our friend from Crew got the joke tho!!

Re: Crewe at Home
 

:(Shame really,i would have thought had it been on the saturday we would have had 1000plus crewe fans on the away end! big drop if only half turn up and lost revenue to boot,lets hope they get lots of coaches booked and quickly:)

Re: Crewe at Home
 

He's gone very quiet Cowboy....Wyn's ascerbic CREWE-LTY must have hit him hard!!

Perhaps a more appropriate riposte from him is in the offing ??....

Hope that he and his brother Railwaymen turn up though...they'll be right welcome !!

'ON STANLEY!!!...ON!!!'

Re: Crewe at Home
 

Viewing a thread - Accrington match changed to a Friday night Mixt reaction from crewe fans over gane switch

Re: Crewe at Home
 

Not too happy some of them - some seem to think we've changed it cos we're playing Liverpool reserves the day after ????

Re: Crewe at Home
 

will be there in my bury shirt :P

Re: Crewe at Home
 

Don't worry you have not scared me off:D

3 coaches booked at present.

If we beat Aldershot on Saturday that should boost our away following up.

I would hope for atleast 400.

Re: Crewe at Home
 

That is great to hear!!...and take no notice of those who would constantly seek to cause slight irritation to opposition Fans by troublesome, often repeated, yet light, and may I say, innocent playful banter. In these troublesome times any thread which prompts some degree of levity is welcomed with open arms, I can tell you!!!.

Keep it coming!!.

'ON STANLEY!!!....ON!!!'

Re: Crewe at Home
 

cheeky git just seen that: D

Re: Crewe at Home
 

KSH can you change the kick off time on the poster then I can print it off, cheers.

Re: Crewe at Home

Re: Crewe at Home
 

Get your hair cut you look older than me :D:D:D

Anyway this Friday night football is brilliant for me as I work most weekends so I'll see you against Crewe and I'm bringing a few Dingles oh sorry Burnley fans from work as well :D:D.

Re: Crewe at Home
 

On my way to watch The Shots - spy mission for Coley ;) :)

Re: Crewe at Home
 

Decrease it now!

Re: Crewe at Home
 

I do not know why?? You played some good football today and on any other day it would have been 5 - 2 :eek:

I went today with a friend of mine, who has been a Shots fan for 46 years, he agrees with me that The Alex played some good footy today and were electric at getting from back to front. A phrase I used at full time was "Daylight Robbery" and he agreed and we both have no doubts as to where you will be come May 2010.

Get as many Railway Men as you can to The Crown on Friday, you will not regret it.

Re: Crewe at Home
 

I agree, we absolutely battered them but our strikers failed to find the back of the net, Zola being the most culprit.

Re: Crewe at Home
 

i always say the time to worry is when they Aint there to miss em.;)

Re: Crewe at Home
 

Are we expecting another good crowd for this being on a Friday night?? Hopefully we may get a few more floating Clarets, Rovers Etc. They will all help the cause :) Would be good to see some other clubs shirts in The Clayton End again.... :) :)

Re: Crewe at Home
 

To be honest, I can't see it being many more than the usual for a Friday night game. If it was another local club in our position I might go to see them once, but I wouldn't keep paying to go.
Added to that I feel as if the impetus has been lost over the last week, so the issue doesn't feel as immediate as it did do.

Re: Crewe at Home
 

At £13 for an Adult ticket you can't go wrong.

Brilliant value.

Re: Crewe at Home
 

Tell all your mates then and bring coach loads :) :)

Re: Crewe at Home
 

LOL!

We are a fickle bunch.

Re: Crewe at Home
 

and don't forget your waterproofs :D

Re: Crewe at Home
 

shame with it being on the friday, reckon you've missed out on an extra 200-300 railwayman, but i'll be there. anyway, forget that crap, important stuff.........

nearest pub to the ground and how much for a pint?

Re: Crewe at Home
 

Nearest pub is The Crown, not too sure how much the ale is matey, but it is not expensive :) :) :)

I am sure there are a few who will post some prices on here.. :)

Re: Crewe at Home
 

im hoping some bury fans will come up again but our message board has been shut down for over a week so its hard to drum up support like last time. Remember if you see us in red a white stripped shirts again were not sunderland fans thats our away kit LOL! I got asked 3 times last time if I was a jordy.

Re: Crewe at Home
 

Sad gets who asked if you were Geordies, Sunderland are Mackemers and take being asked if they are geordies as a personal insult.

Re: Crewe at Home
 

will 2br be on tonight?

Re: Crewe at Home
 

I thought mackemers were a type of nut??

Re: Crewe at Home
 

A belief not inconsistent with them supporting Sunderland .. :)
