ASFC needs you! Stanley v Rovers - Tue 13th October
http://www.accringtonstanley.co.uk/g...ges/rovers.gifSam Allardyce will bring our Premiership neighbours Blackburn Rovers down to the Crown Ground on Tuesday 13th October for a match to raise funds for the Save our Stanley campaign, kick off 7.45pm.

Admission will be priced at £10 for adults and £5 for concessions with tickets available this evening from Accrington Stanley and tomorrow morning from the Ewood Park ticket office. Supporters will also be able to pay at the turnstiles on the night.

Speaking about the gesture Stanley chief executive Rob Heys said "It is a great move from Blackburn and Sam to bring a side across, that will be made up of their first team squad who aren't away on international duty.

"People often think that being so close to two Premiership sides is a problem for us, however our neighbours have been superb in their support for Accrington Stanley at this dificult time."

Damn you cruel fate.

I haven't been away with work for over ten years and guess which bloody night I will be away next week, b*gg*r!

Nevermind I will send my gate fee to the SOS fund.

Will this be the first time David Dunn will be on? Have his complimentary tickets dried up since Eric left? International break,would this be a good time for our Marcelle to bring a few of her Premier league mates down,for some pre match hospitality?

Re: Blackburn Rovers Match

lol thanx for that Jen.....i'm slightly thick when it comes to footy (its the blonde hair that lets me down) ;)

Re: Blackburn Rovers Match
 

Better late than never, Thank You to Sam and the Team at Rovers :)

Re: Blackburn Rovers Match
 

wonder how many Rovers fans WON'T turn up

Re: Blackburn Rovers Match
 

Great news that Rovers are playing us before the deadline but...

Think of the policing/ stewarding costs.
Remember this is being played just a few days before the Rovers v Burnley match. Surely there are safety issues, especially as you can pay on the gate.
Many Accy based Rovers and Burnley fans will be interested in this match. Has this been thought out?

I am presuming tonight's match will not be rearranged for next week.

Well i went to burnley v stanley match with 2 rovers fans and 2 burnley fans ... and there was no trouble with them ... ok the 2 rovers fans were my brother and his daughter .. the 2 burnley fans were my nephews ...

but there was no trouble at the burnley match .. and plus on top of that there probably a few rovers fans there ... and theres a picture somewhere on here from the darlington match was it .. fans wearing rovers shirts and burnley shirts were stood next to each other talking ...

Re: Blackburn Rovers Match
 

Do you work for Lancashire police ? I'm suprised they don't pay a few Burnley & Rovers fans to start a punch up to prove themselves right :confused:

Personally I think Rovers fans will be livid if many of the first team turn up. Risk of injury five days before their cup final :D

Re: Blackburn Rovers Match
 

The same 30000 that claim to be the 5000 that went on 'during the lean years'.

:D:D:D
