SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

Stanley Ultras have organised an event at the Crown Ground on Sunday 25th October.

A team of Accrington Stanley Legends will compete against the Stanley Ultras Fans Team on the Famous Turf all in aid of the SOS Appeal. Legends will be confirmed in due course but we have a comprehensive "wanted" list being drawn up at the mo....

Its on sunday the 25th of October, playing at accrington stanley, 1pm kick off. Cost is £5 Adults £1 Under 16's, you can pay on the day but tickets have been printed so it would be prefered if you bought in adavance. There will be a 50/50 draw, bar will be open, programmes avail & it should be a good day everyone's welcome.

All procedes go to the SOS (Save Our Stanley) Fund. The Ultras Squad have already committed to selling 160 tickets @ £5 to family, WAG's & friends etc & so this event has raised, on paper, £800 so far.......

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

Well done to The Ultras for organising this event, hope it is a sell out.. :) :) :)

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

Well done guys, should be a great event.

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

great stuff Willie @Ultras, hope i'm back in time fer it.:) could do wi it being a Sticky methinks.

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

Nice one WM, hoping to get up for that one.

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

Thinking about it, perhaps Marcelle could induce some of these premiership players she knows to come along for this one? After all, it's Sunday, no match (for most of 'em). Could certainly add to the appeal of the day. How about it, Marcelle?

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

This may affect the crowd numbers.:(

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

Not if we can get you and Mancie watching the game in the lounge, might even add to the gate :D

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

Stanley has a few scousers in the team, then there are relatives, it is a big game for the armchair football fans especially if it's raining that day.:(

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

Got my ticket tonight, though cannot make the match, let me know when it's "Sold Out" and I will stick my ticket on EBAY and give the cash to S.O.S. :D

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

On the back of this, is there a chance to let non ultras make an appearance, for a nicely donation to the S.O.S. ??? Might just put a few more ££££££ in the buckets. :) :)

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

Very smart move, where can I buy tickets?:)

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

Fantastic:):)

I am working on getting someone to ref the game. You'll like when if hes up for it.

NO NAME YET MIND

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

Mango is running a book for the gamblers amongst us... Big money from Liverpool coming in for a 4-0 Ultras win????

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

Whats Justin Jackson doing these days?

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

Jeff Winters :confused: :rofl38: :rofl38: :rofl38: :)

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

d'oh:p

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

Apparently, he flittered around at Brackley, Corby and Bromsgrove before going off to play in Australia. So, if the SOS can stump up the air fare... :)

While Googling, I came across this nugget from Woking's site:
The first murmurings of unrest surrounding Club record signing, Justin Jackson, had also begun. Jackson - in recent years accused of general loutish dimwittery after his move down South - was clearly disliked by his colleagues, a fact openly demonstrated at Rushden weeks later.

I still can't forgive him for spoiling the video of Goucky's goal celebrations against Huddersfield!

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

he's at Lancaster now.

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

No problem, then. M6/M65... :)

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

Did he not get injured just before he were due to sign for them, So he didnt sign because he didnt want to ruin hes chance of moving downunder?

Could be wrong though!

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

You're right. From the Lancaster Guardian in July:

One player who will not be joining up with City is former Morecambe striker Justin Jackson. The veteran goal-scorer had been training with the Dolly Blues however injury has put paid to his move.

Hesketh said: "Justin has tendonitis and since he has signed up to play football in Australia in the winter neither party wanted to risk it."

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

Unfortunately, Jeff Winter is unavailable to referee our game versus the Legends. Huge respect to him for actually taking the time to reply to my email.:)

Hear is what he replied with;

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

Worth a try matey, so do you have a Plan B???

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

NO contingency in place:confused:

I'm sure the club will sort it:):)

Just thought it would have been great to get Winter. I haven't been given the job of finding a ref

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

How many tickets have been sold so far?

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

12 because of the Liverpool v Man Utd game at 2!

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

I could only stay for the first half, but I really enjoyed it. It was like stepping back in time. :D

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

And the score? how many shirts are left? How's Rommy doing....

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

1. It was 2-0 to The Legends when I left. Prendergast and Burns the scorers.
2. No idea as I left at half-time
3. Couldn't care less to be honest.

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

Finished 7 - 0 (I think) - all shirts were bought and Rommy is doing just fine. Said afterwards he's still enjoying it at Sligo but had really enjoyed coming back for the game.

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

Thought todays game was great fun, the Ultras certainly held thier own against a huge amount of talent on display. Who was that first keeper?............He was simply awesome in the first 30 mins, made at least 4 top drawer saves imho.

The best part for me was Willie Millers face after He megged Jimmy Bell........excellent and well done Jase!!

The scoreline really didnt do the boys (ultras) justice, but I guess it was allways on the cards.

No matter, it was a fun afternoon, so well done to all that organised it.

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

Coley looked powfagged after five minutes. That lad needs to get into shape!

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

He is in shape...............allbeit round!!!!:tongueout

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

A great afternoon.

Well done The Ultra's you helped raise a good deal of money and to be fair I think a reasonable proportion of it came from your own pockets judging by the bidding for the shirts. Top day out

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

Although having to be elsewhere kept me from being there with you...I congratulate everyone concerned for the obvious fun and entertainment which you provided for the crowd who were watching....and for this restatement from the best and noisiest and greatest set of Fans in the World of Football of the love which they have for our Great Club...which will not die...if the Ultras have anything to do with it!!..

'ON STANLEY !!....ON TO EVEN GREATER THINGS !!'

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

is there owt left to buy? I never made up to the ground so missed out on the shirts etc but I'll still have some piccies if they are left

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

No, I had a pocket full of cash to buy a shirt but the price went too high. Another had a reserve price which wasn't fair I would have liked to bid on that one, never mind I had fun with the mancs. A bit too much fun to be honest I really had them after my blood, who let all the mancs in anyway?

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

brilliant day. The score didn't do us boys any justice, I thought we played well then we took super keeper off.

Just to let you know over £2500 was raised yesterday.

WHAT A GOOD EFFORT!!

on stanley on.

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

That is a good amount, and I've still got my ticket - anyone want to buy it :rolleyes:
Did they give an attendance figure? I didn't hear anything

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

Sorry about that bud, but I did say bid early & I will see what I can do....
The 3 that sold prior all went for good money & to fans who have done a lot for the SOS appeal.

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

Good stuff, the Crown took some cash too from the Ultras, mostly from YOU ash!!!!

In the final third we were shocking!!!

I have it on good authority that it will be a annual event!!!

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

All 13 of you :rolleyes: :D

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

Says the guy who fell asleep in the pool room... haha

GOOD TIMES.
Lets hope it continues after D-DAY

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

Re - All 13 of you
Ooops Sorry, quoted wrong bit and too late to edit it :)

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

I was well pleased they went for the prices bid, nice shirts and congratulations to the auction winners.:)

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
 

me too,


I expected some to go for good money but thought that many would go for next to nowt.

So although I am gutted that I didnt get there and bid, I am well pleased that they all went for good money. And probably more than I would have bid anyway.




I believe that Jake (regular drummer) organised the majority of this and it is scarce taht individuals get credit where it is deserved - but BIG wel done to Jake, and everyone who helped him, for what has turned out to be a massive chunk of fundraising.

hat off to youse all

Rob

Re: SOS Event Legends v Ultras Sun 25th Oct
