Re: Stanley Bit's & Bob's
 

:)It's not just this link but most of the club's new information has these links to them and IMHO its a big improvement to the site:)

Re: Stanley Bit's & Bob's
 

Much more in depth than usual which is a very welcome addtion to the site:)

I also like this on the Macc Site to entice fans to buy the Programme

Re: Stanley Bit's & Bob's
 

:) I agree Google Page Ranking!Little bits like stanley and macclesfied have done is a improvement and something for the fans.

Re: Stanley Bit's & Bob's
 

Howdy folks
As part of a new commitment to content, the club are hoping to have a lot more of the in depth stuff both on the website and in the programme. I've had a couple of meetings with Rob and Martin at the club about this very subject.
In the immediate future there should be (technology permitting) a preview like the one linked to above for every game as well as a detailed(ish) match report on the same day as the game finishes!!!!

In the short term future, the programme will be improving - not particularly the way it looks (it's complicated!) but more what is in it - from the Bradford home game (hopefully) every edition will contain at least one exclusive player interview as well as columns from people involved with the club and the town. The long term plan is that the club becomes entirely responsible for its own programme with no filler material and that it ultimately provides not just value for money but is actually something that you buy to read rather than just through loyalty to the club. This WILL take TIME!

The longer term plan involves an increase in multimedia stuff and some kind of live matchday service provided by the club. More on that as and when.

I'm helping the people who work at the club from day to day with this stuff, as are several other people, including the three lads who currently have the thankless task of producing an entire matchday programme from scratch every week. The most important thing is that as many people as possible get involved in some way - so if you've got an idea for something you'd like to read or indeed write, put it forward. You can contact the club, PM me on here or email [email protected]

I hope this rambling post wasn't too dull!!!

Dan

P.S Pendle Red - the promotional side of the programme has already been discussed. Expect extracts from the programme on the website in advance of them going on sale soon :-)

Re: Stanley Bit's & Bob's
 

Cheers Mab ;) I must agree with you :D I also think that this new look preview, is a good one, thanks for the link :) :) :)

Accrington Stanley meet again over Coleman's new deal

ACCRINGTON Stanley say they are close to agreeing new deals with manager John Coleman and his assistant Jimmy Bell.
Coleman and Bell are currently working with a verbal agreement of a rolling one-year contract but have been keen to secure a new deal in writing.
The pair have been in charge of Stanley for almost 11 years, but chairman Ilyas Khan promised to reward them with extended deals when he took over at the Crown Ground in November.
“We are very close to that being signed now, although I know we have said that before,” said chief executive Rob Heys.
“We met with them on Tuesday morning, although the length of the contract is still one of the things being discussed.”
New deals for strikers Bobby Grant and Michael Symes, out of contract in the summer, were also discussed with Coleman and the Reds hoping an agreement can be reached with their top scorers in the near future.

Isn't there 1 or 2 other top refs at that match as well????

Re: Stanley Bit's & Bob's
 

Alan Wiley 4th

Dave Allinson Head of FL refs will pay to watch the game

He thinks Mike Riley will also attend.

As all his full time collegues attended his fitness test to cheer him on, I suspect that any full time northern refs may also attend!!:)

Re: Stanley Bit's & Bob's
 

cue the chorus of; " the referee's are all w......" :) in the best possible taste of course

Re: Stanley Bit's & Bob's
 

Sadly for Halsey he has had to go through lots of grief to have people turning up to see him on the field. There are plenty of refs who turn out every week who think the crowds have turned up just to watch them :rolleyes:

Re: Stanley Bit's & Bob's
 

Good luck to Mark Halsey on Tuesday.:wave8: He and his family must have had a really difficult time recently. We all give the referees some stick at times but lets all at the crown ground give him a heartfelt welcome back to football.:mosher:

Re: Stanley Bit's & Bob's
 

:( Or Grant at this rate,one would think both Grant and Symes would have signed by now if they wanted to stop at Stanley IMHO:(

Re: Stanley Bit's & Bob's
 

Who knows think they should both sign, this rate symes be walking for free and grant for 1/8 of his real price! think both should stay

Re: Stanley Bit's & Bob's
 

The new club started playing at the Crown Ground, which is now called The Fraser Eagle Stadium, in Livingstone Road, although they did spend one or two seasons back at the old club's former home at Peel Park due to ground problems in the early 1970s.

...got the stadium name wrong too, and we didn't go back to Peel Park for "one or two seasons", it was just one match (2-2 draw against Nelson in March, 1973).

Right, I'll get me anorak. ;)

Dont worry about other clubs making mistakes. Have you seen the new Stanley 'brochure' - states we were founder members of the football league. If we can't get it right.......

Re: Stanley Bit's & Bob's
 

True, the odd 'typo' like on the wearestanley site is understandable but misinformation is not acceptable, especially when it is not corrected or there is little or no chance of doing so.

Re: Stanley Bit's & Bob's
 

to who mab, the Don? ya can bet yer boots coley won't see it.:eek:

Re: Stanley Bit's & Bob's
 

Ilyas hasn't yet stepped down as chairman unless someone knows diffrent!!so i would have thought a board room decition will have had to have been made at some point by khan marsden and oneill to what the fee is to be used for ie coleys players bugget as what was announced by the club when bobby moved to the irons IMHO:)

Re: Stanley Bit's & Bob's
 

Ilyas has stepped down as he said he would, it hasn't been announced as he already said he had an agreement with DON and would not break it.

Re: Stanley Bit's & Bob's
 

:confused: If thats the case then "WHO" Is the chairman as no offical announcement has been made by the club!!!:(

Re: Stanley Bit's & Bob's
 

It'll probably be in the Telegraph, Observer & even the Citizen before we hear owt from the club :rolleyes:

Re: Stanley Bit's & Bob's
 

exactly how i understood things, n believe ilyas is a man of his word, so thats what i firmly believe.as fer announcement from club, since when have they done that, unless after summat?:rolleyes:

Re: Stanley Bit's & Bob's
 

Thats exactly what i've been reliably told too:alright:

Re: Stanley Bit's & Bob's
 

Right ive got my head round this now "i think" Ilyas Khan has stepped down as chirman of Accrington Stanley i've got that bit :(!!But this is the confussing bit who is the new chairman then, is it Peter Marsden who was vise chirman now the chairman or is David ONeill the new chairman???? :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:

Re: Stanley Bit's & Bob's
 

Bulls News reports today:-
" Accrington are to remain at their training base in Preston after the search for a more local option proved fruitless."
Where do they always seem to get info that we are never told??

They also report that Stuart Fleetwood has re-signed for them, and also that Craney is on 15 grand a week at Fleetwood!

Re: Stanley Bit's & Bob's
 

I would imagine that DON has become chairman again and I would expect more duties to be given to RH. Personally I hope that they can turn over a new leaf but I wouldn't hold my breath! At least with Ilyas at the helm we were very well informed of developments whereas now we never seem to hear of anything!

Re: Stanley Bit's & Bob's
 

You mean £15 :D

Re: Stanley Bit's & Bob's
 

Post 56 on this thread for stuart fleetwood ..

Re: Stanley Bit's & Bob's
 

it's actually £1500 but agree ld should be £15 or maybe fairer at £1.50 plus performance related bonus' which still equals £1.50!

Re: Stanley Bit's & Bob's
 

Sorry- typo!:(
1500

Re: Stanley Bit's & Bob's
 

If O'Neil has become/will become chairman again that IMO would be a definate backwards step for the club, why would he be any better at it than he was before? I can't think of anything he's done or said to make me change my mind about him

Re: Stanley Bit's & Bob's
 

Re: Stanley Bit's & Bob's
 

That's not fair. He has said a lot.
