Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

Does anyone know what time the draw is? I don't have Sky but I was wondering what time to check this again at.
Cheers

COME ON YOU REDS!

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

Leeds Away ££££££££

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

Drawing it now ................. we are away at Leeds! Kerching :)

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

Leeds away!!!

Surely on Sky TV??

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

kerching!!!

some serious hype is needed now to get a real away following the like of which Accy has never seen!!

get on the case commercial lads and redeem yerselves

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

**** tv or sky, go anyway, elland road doesnt come everyday!!

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

Ill be going no doubt!

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

I've got to make it to that one

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

Unmissable! Must go and check train times from Piccadilly...

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

Magic couldn't have been a better un. IMHO:)

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

Sorry to be a killjoy, but what about the position?????

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

sorry to be a numpty,val but what yer on about?:confused:

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

I'll have centre mid please :D

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

Yeah, you're right, Val, it says on Ground Guide that the stadium's a 35 minute walk from the station. Thought it was nearer than that. Never mind, there's always taxis.

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

What's wrong with a 35 minute walk ya big softies?!!!!!

Does anyone know what the gate split is in the JPT? Is it 50/50?

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

nearest league ground for me so I've no excuse at all

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

In a word, time...especially if it's a stupid 7pm ko!

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

Have you not got a skateboard you could use from the station? :D

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

Got the impression from this forum over the years that you like your beer and both Dewsbury and Huddersfield have popular station bars. Add Stalybridge in as well and I guess you'd be looking at a 3 day trip!!

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

It's a possibility, TM, but I doubt that the stewards would let me in with it! ;)

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

Whatever gave you that idea? This could be a l-o-o-o-n-g journey home! :D

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

I would've thought there'd be a bus to the ground as leeds is very easy to get to on the train for the majority of football fans. Or if there's not will there not be a coach going from Accy?

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

Would've thought there'd be a number of coaches going from Accy, once they've got it organised. No good for us exiles though! :)

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

They run buses from the city centre to the ground and back after games - not sure how much fun that would be especially compared to a walk through Holbeck from the centre. Only ever used that bus for a RL international 20 odd years ago.

Service bus is a 51 or 51A but I don't think they stop near the ground when there's a match on.

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

Who would have thought a few years ago that Stanley would be playing Leeds in any competition.

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

Hope its on a week, Sunday? if not be a long drive there and back in one night.

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

Cherrr Ching

They had 10,430 for the QF at home V Grimsby so there should be another five figure gate and I bet its not just £13 and £15 to get in so should be excellent shared receipts.

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

David v Goliath from the tv companies point of view one would hope

A great incentive for the Club to cash in commercially with merchandise and really help promote the Club, if it had been at home the cost of stewarding & policing for such a high profile game may have outweighed the home advantage.

It is a one off game nothing to lose let's go there with our heads held high and give um a good game!

One final note what about the Club offering subsidised coach pricing for the game:
As an incentive for a big away following
A Thank You to everyone who rallied round in their darkest hours
It would maybe help boost the gate so would perhaps offset it against better joint gate receipts?

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

To be honest the train from Manc will probably be cheaper than a coach as well, it's only costing 3.95 with a rail card

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

I feel a bit sorry for Tom Lees. He's, almost visibly, grown as a player whilst he's been with us and now one would expect him to have to miss out on our big day.

I'd be very surprised if Leeds allowed him to play against them. Unless, of course, the rules on half season loans prevent them blocking him doing so.

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

ask em, nowt to lose, think with adequate publicity it would offset the cost.;)

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

Bloody P.C.'s it missed out RIGHTBACK - LEES!!!!

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

if it is shared gate receipts then £7.50 (or so) per adult would be recouped for every traveller on subsidised travel - they could certainly look at doing something. But on the other hand this is our Wembley so we need to capitalise financially from this game.

As far as TV is concerned it might be thought favouritism to feature Leeds in two consecutive games - they were on against Grimsby. And the Southern section Southampton V Norwich might be seen as commercially more viable.

Hoping for a thousand from Accy for this. It should definitely be our highest away following since pre-62. HYPE IT

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

A thousand accy is very optimistic but yes HYPE IT!!!!!!!!

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

This is the JPT so finances will not be great. There is more likely to be more money for Accrington if it is not on TV.

I am not sure of the split but other cup competitions split receipts 3 ways each club and the governing body. For the last 2 JPT games Leeds have charged £5 for concessions and £10 for adults. Leeds were on TV last time in the JPT and the TV money paid to both clubs was a paltry £10,000. The Leeds first round FA Cup game played 3 days earlier which was on the internet only both clubs received £67,500. If the game is not on TV the increase in the gate will be more than the 1000 fans needed to cover the £10,000. If not on TV it could be a 15,000 gate dependant on how many Accrington bring.

If you are travelling to Leeds by train the options to get to the ground are Taxi. Plenty at the station and there is also a queue of taxis just up past McDonalds after the game.

You can catch the bus. If you come out of the main entrance to the station, cross over the road where all the taxis are and go down the steps you come out facing a pub called the Scarborough Taps. Turn right and walk under the tunnel then the first road left is where Special buses will take you to the ground. For a 7.45 kick off they may start at about 6-6.30. It will cost you £2.50 return.

The third option is to walk. Again come out of the station’s front entrance down the steps and turn right under the tunnel but this time keep on walking following the road until you come to the Bewerley Hotel. Walk round the hotel and you will see a Halfords on the corner you need to keep going straight on passing Halfords on your right. Keep going crossing over several roads and eventually the path will end and there will be a pathed slope down to your right go down there and walk straight on. Eventually you will come to a tunnel on your left and a path through a park. Do not go through the tunnel but walk straight on through the park. There is a little tunnel at the end of the path which you go through. There will be a fish and chip shop in front of you. Turn left go up the slop and as you are crossing over a bridge you will see Elland Road. Take the next right and you will be there.

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

thanks Selkie

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

ey up lads!

great draw for you lot, looking forward to seeing plenty of you at elland rd.

there is a bus near the station on sovereign street the r2, it is £2.50 return, and drops you off right next to the east stand. departs from the same bus park after the game.

leeds will be pretty busy at that time of night, i wouldnt recommend walking as most of the boozers on route have been shutdown:mad:

big wetherspoons at leeds station, scarborough just outside ok as well. the last bus for er leaves approx 15mins before kickoff, there is often away fans on these.

see ya there:tongueout

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

Not sure how much TV coverage there will be that week, there's a full Premier League midweek programme

Accy Stanley dont drink milk

we drink lager!!!


(and some a bit of real ale)

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

THIS IS ACCRINGTON V LEEDS!

The folk in OUR town need to be politely informed that Elland Road away in support of the town they live in is the thing to do. Spread the word, its pride in OUR town that will get folk to the away end

Accrington, OUR town, Stanley, OUR club!

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

nice one mate!

the coppers are just glad it wasnt leeds bradford, cos it would all go off with those nasty ointment chappies

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

We had a 1000 at Bury on a Tuesday night first year back......

Should be easy, but don't rely on the club. Everyone should badger their family & circle of friends. Get KSH to print a special Support "Accrington" in a War od the Roses not Stanley.

Its up to the support to encourage ALL to go.... Get on it lads & lassies

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

In the last round of the JPT there was a game from both the Northern & Southern areas shown on Sky

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

Great draw for Stanley as it will generate some much needed revenue, however doubt there will be 10000 at the game, we only pulled 10000 for the last round with Grimsby and Grimsby brought about 2500 at a guess

Tickets will be around £15 then concessions for kids and seniors so average around £13

A lot of Leeds fans (myself included) want OUT of this Tin Pot Cup and should have got out a lot earlier, but Bates being Bates no doubt wants the big money final to line his pockets even further as Simon Grayson has played 1st Team in all rounds to date

TV rights should bring in around £70k each (Sky TV)

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

Anyone planning on going on the train from accrington ... might want to change their plans for the return journey .... there isnt one directly back to accrington after 19.51 from leeds ..

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

Thats because the border closes at 8pm :D

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

Aren't you glad you said that BEFORE the match. He was clearly not at his best and couldn't pass for toffee.

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

What a B****r, I was contemplating the trip via the train...sounds like that one's a none starter then. Thank god for the privatisation of the rail network....not...:(

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

Am an exile living near Leeds and journey back is easy enough only about 45 minutes drive, but beware of the bloody speed cameras through the roadworks on the M62!
If anyone is driving instead of the lousy trains, parking at ground £5, but some street parking available in Geldard Rd/Lowfields Rd area on industrial estate (check individual streets as some are no parking). If you look on googlemaps or anything like that though it doesnt show that you cant get down lowfields rd by car from stadium end, instead need to come off at j1 m621, take 1st exit off roundabout and then right at lights down Gelard Rd (A62), park around the Lowfields Rd area and walk through under motorway down Lowfields Rd and to stadium.
lowfields rd, leeds - Google Maps
Come on Stanley!

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

:D LOL, mind reader, I'm on with it :D

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

How many does everyone think we will actually take??

Im guna go for and say about 750, with this in my opinion against the size and history of a club like leeds, being probably the biggest game the club has had post 62 so any stanley fan should be looking to go this game

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

Shirley The first game back in the football league was bigger?

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

Perhaps, but like the relevance of this game like cup semi final, wembley 2 games away if we win etc...

Different opinions for different fans

Anyways ha the question was how many does everyone think we will take?

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

if put in pappers footy mags etc we could and should take 1000+ more than the 150 away we do

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

Date confirmed as Tue 15th Dec at 19:45

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

Cannot wait for that

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

Not a surprise that we'll be in the South East corner:

Leeds United | News | News | News | SEMI-FINAL TICKET DETAILS

The M621 runs along the back of the North Stand

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

just phoned leeds up and its up to accy were we get put

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

fair enough - only going off this - The corners and the South Stand will not be open for this game and Accrington supporters will be housed in the South East Corner - on their website.

Maybe they have similar communications problems to us.

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

they hav 2 day to pick

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

good job lets get in the pappers lancs and accy papper and on radio 2br untill we play them

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

Top job!!

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

Good job! Big advertisment and away following could/should be about 700

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

Am i the only who is a bit gutted that we drew leeds. i mean yea its fantastic for revenue and that but wouldnt an easier draw and progressing through to wembley be more fruitful or the club

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

in a word yeh!,only one i know of.:D so do you think they can't progress, given that draw? i don't.:)

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

Even at home, we could have lost to any of the those, plus at home we would have a smaller gate = less cash! Elland Road is OK by me :)

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

agreed Revived Red. we were the better side against QPR but we were unlucky to lose - and miss out on Chelsea in the next round! Our luck has to change in these games.

we would have been unlikelier to beat Leeds over two legs in the area final so this is better. imagine how gutting it would be to lose (narrowly?) in the final and miss out on a trip to wembley

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

David Martin signed for Leeds from Liverpool
Sky Sports | Football | Transfer Centre | Done Deal | Whites clinch double deal

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

that'll mean his Scottish cousin Alan will be farmed out somewhere then

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

but not to us especially as Chris King has left and we've signed the centre half from up the road and a GK from Liverpool - fishy site

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

Deal in observer today saying travel and ticket to leeds for an adult is 15 quid and consessions and children is a tenner!

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

That's excellent value for money and hat's off to whoever is organising it at that price:)

Hopefully it should mean a good away following for what should be a Top Night:cool:

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

I believe Stanley are well capable of getting a result at Elland Road.

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

yep a great deal, should be pushed in media (T.V./Radio) also i reckon.;)

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

do we hav a full bus to leeds yet

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

only 18 days away

There's nowt from Accy but there's Mike Jones' goal for Bury (against us!). Well, why not? :)

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

Fingers crossed that it stays a draw and they have a hard match at Elland Road!!!

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

well from what ive seen,if stanley play to full potential, they can turn leeds oer.

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

after watching the not so mighty leeds v kettering today i take bk wat i said in my earlier post. Leeds looked like they struggled and as leeds dont count the jpt as a major trophy here`s hoping for a 3-2 win c`mon stanley

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

They'll be a totally different on their own patch with a good following behind them...

That said their back line seem to struggle against pace,both full backs look vulnerable and they don't seem to handle set pieces too well.....wonder if Mr. C was down Kettering way or watchin' at home before his Sunday roast????:confused:

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

I agree their right back really didn't like being run at especially cutting in on the inside, if Milesy aint suspended I reckon he could have a field day there, might get him back onto form.

Re: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
 

He'll be OK against Milesy then. When was the last time you saw Miles run at anyone? :rolleyes::D
