Where are we at?
 

I've been away on holiday for a while and I've come back to the positive news that one of the weeks has arrived and the embargo has been lifted.

So who is in the squad? And is there anyone 'a day or two away' from signing?

Re: Where are we at?
 

Embargo lifted.

Squad as of 05/08/10: Cisak, Dunbavin, Murphy, Bateson, Hessey, Edwards, Winnard, Hall, Riley, Burton, Ryan, Procter, Joyce, Putterill, Barnett, Parkinson, Turner, McConville, Lindfield, Boulding.

Coley & Jimmy, as far as we know, still don't have contracts.

The ground hasn't got it's safety certificate for the season yet.

We need a candlestick maker, pronto.

:) Bet hes glad he asked now shaker;):D

The negativity on this site is overwhelming. Maybe the club isn't making an issue of the safety certificate issue because there isn't an issue to be made. The Embargo that had many on here seemingly ready to hang themselves, didn't stop the trialing and eventual signings of the players Coley wanted.

The assembled squad is as good as could be expected for a club of Stanley's size. Had there been no embargo, i don't believe The squad would have been any better.

Saturday will come, the Football League season starts and Accrington Stanley will be part of it, and i for one am delighted about that.

What negativity?

The furore over this supposed negativity seems to be much more frequent & potent than any of the alleged negative posts.

Re: Where are we at?
 

Me too, Larry. And we're gonna marmalise them Southern Softies :D

(PS I was born in Essex!)

:alright:

Re: Where are we at?
 

I'll drink to that, geezer! :D

Re: Where are we at?
 

It's not negativity - we are born worriers!

We worry that things are not in place when in any well run set up they would be.

We worry that no direct information is forthcoming even though ASFC recognize this as the authorised forum.

We worry that being uneconomical with the truth has been a habit in the past.

BUT

We have faith in the proven.

Faith in JC and JB.

Faith in the team they have formed.

Faith in our fellow supporters.

Faith that it will be ON STANLEY ON!,,

...and we'll have even more faith in 'em when this soddin' typist has finally typed out those contracts for them to sign. She's been tapping away on that keyboard since Easter! ;)

Thanks for the advice. Not sure why you felt the need to get personal. No need really. I would have though new posters would be encouraged on this forum, not told to sod off to other sites.:confused:

Re: Where are we at?
 

To be honest I had expected to come back to a squad of about 12/13 and be in the middle of a mad rush of signings.

I assume Coley and Jimmy will sign contracts in September time, there's no point doing it when August is already a busy month and we may want to make a few loan signings.

If our game goes ahead against Aldershot at the Crown, then we can consider ourselves one step ahead of Blackpool ;)

Re: Where are we at?
 

June @ July were not as busy as september, just love optimism:)

"We are going to sit down with John and Jimmy on Friday and hopefully they will sign this contract and it will all be sorted out," said O’Neill earlier this week. - Accrington Observer, April 16th. :rolleyes:

He He!:D

Thanks for the updates above:)

Feels good to be back:alright:

Re: Where are we at?
 

Don't think you're special, he insults everybody :D

The negativity is born out of frustration. Every football fan who feels passionately about their club wants to know every thing thats happening warts and all. A lot of them think ( rightly or wrongly) that they have a right to know everything. In the case of Stanley fans I personally think they have more right than most ( it's not my first club so I can say that without too much bias ;) ). After last year those fans morally own that club, to make sure they don't go through the same brown stuff it's not suprising they question what's happening :rolleyes:

Nail...head...hit.

Re: Where are we at?
 

Have removed the posts, quite correct people shouldnt be pushed off to other sites, welcome to the forum btw. People have different points of view & difference levels of optimism & negativity, with stanley its taking the rough more often with the smooth:D

Re: Where are we at?
 

Just had a look on wikipedia.

Andy Parkinson had a big injury problem a few years ago, but did quite well up until that. Not too convinced about him.

Craig Lindfield got more yellow cards than goals last time he was here.

Rory Boulding hasn't scored a senior goal yet.

Do we hope we win each game by own goals :S

Re: Where are we at?
 

Not really worried about this - let's face it Symes hadn't done much before he came to us & Bobby hadn't exactly set anything alight until last season either.- it's playing for the famous Accy Stanley that lifts these lads :)
