Burton Thread
 

Hi all
Match preview for tonight's game is now online - ASFC News Story > 3928

Apologies that it's a bit sparse build-up wise. Having a few technical difficulties!

Dan

Re: Burton Thread
 

Once again unable to get to the game as am working tonight. So will be relying on text updates and young Dans rantings!

Dan, did you get the link I sent you?

Re: Burton Thread
 

He only rants first half, the stack of pies keep him quiet second half :)

Re: Burton Thread
 

Is it my fault that I look like a culinary charity case???

Re: Burton Thread
 

And Cowboy, I got your email, but haven't done anything as yet due to a lack of internet since returning from Gillingham.

A job for tomorrow!

Re: Burton Thread
 

We're unchanged friends...

Re: Burton Thread
 

Stanley: Cisak, Winnard, Edwards, Hessey, Jacobson, Joyce, Procter, Ryan, Craney, McConville, Gornell

Subs: Dunbavin, Long, Lindfield, Putterill, Murphy, Boulding, Smyth

Re: Burton Thread
 

It's a wee bit foggy at the Crown... five minutes til kick off

Re: Burton Thread
 

Teams are out. And I can see them. JUST!

Re: Burton Thread
 

We're under way...

Re: Burton Thread
 

which end are we attacking, Dan - helps to visualise

Re: Burton Thread
 

4: Gornell shoots from the left corner of the area but it hits Craney and is cleared

Re: Burton Thread
 

Stanley attacking the Coppice End in the first half, the usual all red attire.

The visitors are in their change strip of white tops, blue shorts and blue socks.

Alex Cisak is sporting a snazzy radioactive mushy pea coloured number.

And it's a touch on the foggy side, with the pitch looking the best it has for a bit.

Good enough for visualisation? ;-)

Re: Burton Thread
 

10: Ryan forces a first save from Adam Legzdins with a swerving effort

Re: Burton Thread
 

you haven't said if the ref is sporting a 'tache !

Re: Burton Thread
 

13: McConville's cross evades Gornell but drops to Procter on the edge of the box, who drills it just wide

Re: Burton Thread
 

The ref is clean shaven by the way. All in black, as refs should be!

Re: Burton Thread
 

Hope this isn't another night of shots off target.

Re: Burton Thread
 

Teach, there's been one on target already, which is one more than at Lincoln!

I'd say Stanley are shading it. Most of their shots are being blocked at the minute - another a second ago from Craney bounced out to McConville who volleyed well wide

Re: Burton Thread
 

hope not Teach, I've tipped us to get 4 tonight

Re: Burton Thread
 

24: Stanley 1 Burton 0

Re: Burton Thread
 

Hessey's free kick in, header repelled by the keeper (from Gornell I think, it is foggy!) but Phil Edwards blasted in the rebound.

Lovely stuff!

Re: Burton Thread
 

Shows how much I know! Come on Stanley.

Re: Burton Thread
 

On, Stanley On!

Re: Burton Thread
 

Maybe we could bring long on and put phil up front?

Re: Burton Thread
 

33: Craney is slotted in down the left, the keeper comes, Craney shoots low but it slides just wide

Re: Burton Thread
 

Don't know about that; bit of a Long Shot.................:D

Re: Burton Thread
 

Boom boom! :-)

Re: Burton Thread
 

41: Gornell drills the ball across the face of goal from the left and McConville diverts it just wide

Re: Burton Thread
 

One minute added

Re: Burton Thread
 

Quiet on here tonight. What's the attendance like dan

Re: Burton Thread
 

That's half time - Stanley 1 Burton 0

Re: Burton Thread
 

HT round-up - ASFC News Story > 3930

Re: Burton Thread
 

Bbc stats don't read very well for burton....

Re: Burton Thread
 

Nobody ever talks to me on here for home games dabeast...

Awaiting confirmation of the attendance. It's not bad for a midweek, but hardly packed. Hard to tell from where we sit in the main stand to be honest though

Re: Burton Thread
 

I don't have any specific stats, but I can't think of a shot that Burton have had. Or a ball into the area...

But let's not be complacent eh? They can hardly make less of an impact after the break.

Re: Burton Thread
 

Should be a reasonable crowd as they've been pushing the 5 Quid ticket for a while, so that should've raised a few extra through the turnstiles.

Re: Burton Thread
 

Just referring back to the first page of this thread - I am getting NON STOP stick about pies!!!

Re: Burton Thread
 

That's why I was asking dave

Re: Burton Thread
 

And lo and behold... I have a pie!!!

Re: Burton Thread
 

Flavour???

Re: Burton Thread
 

it's only jealousy, Dan. We all luv pies ! - any sign of Eric at the game ?

Re: Burton Thread
 

Meat and potato..

Only at Stanley would a member of the press be presented with a pie at half time by a messageboard user... I love this place!

Burton are making a change at the break. Greg Pearson for Aaron Webster.

We're off!

Re: Burton Thread
 

Got to have meat in ! :D

Re: Burton Thread
 

LLS - I believe not

Re: Burton Thread
 

47: It gets better - 2-0 Stanley!

Re: Burton Thread
 

Horrid mis kick from the keeper, presented it to Ian Craney who made no mistake, rounding him to slot home.

2-0

Re: Burton Thread
 

Great start to the second half. Maybe it could be 4-0 after all.

Re: Burton Thread
 

Get in there the Red Men !!!!! What happened ?

Re: Burton Thread
 

Keep up Dave!

Re: Burton Thread
 

Lucky pie strikes. Gotta start taking them to away games dan

Re: Burton Thread
 

Hey Come on ! Mungous time lag to Germany Dan. :rolleyes:

Re: Burton Thread
 

Wonder if the potato in the pie was a King Edwards?

Re: Burton Thread
 

The attendance is 1445

Re: Burton Thread
 

Is Meat & Tattie standard for common-taters then ? Don't they have any Snake & Pygmy or Snake & Nunion ? :)

Re: Burton Thread
 

66: 3-0 Andy PROCTER!

Re: Burton Thread
 

teach you could be on for your first 5 pointer of the season!

Re: Burton Thread
 

Gornell thwarted as he looked to break through, but it fell to Ryan who found Procter and the captain finished emphatically 3-0

Re: Burton Thread
 

GET IN THERE !!!!! 3-0 the Boys :D looking good !

Just seen Crewe 1 up against Sarf'end

Re: Burton Thread
 

Damn. Prediction gone lol

Re: Burton Thread
 

Not me Nige. I predicted 2-1. Grrrr.

Re: Burton Thread
 

Stanley sub: Joyce off and Murphy on

Re: Burton Thread
 

Torquay turned it around now. Leading bury 2-1

Re: Burton Thread
 

never mind there's always saturday mate

Re: Burton Thread
 

Get On, Stanley On!

Re: Burton Thread
 

listening to this on a very poor mw reception on radio derby and burton sound absolutely hapless...is that a fair reflection dan

Re: Burton Thread
 

Nige, it was your word and I'll go with it...

There is nothing written in anybody's notes under their column. The word I would use would be limp!

Re: Burton Thread
 

not a word i like to use dan specially after the boozer i'll stick with hapless

Re: Burton Thread
 

What ? A case of the "Brewers" droop ? :s_aim1: :thankya:

You were a touch quicker than me to rise to that one Nige :D

Re: Burton Thread
 

we could do with Bury, Macc & Southend levelling - oh, and another for Stanley so smartarse of Selsey can get some prediction points !

Re: Burton Thread
 

84: terrific curling effort from Murphy turned around the post

Re: Burton Thread
 

87: Burton pull one back - ball in from the left poked in by Greg Pearson

Re: Burton Thread
 

Ah, there we go that's more like it 3-1. :o Thought we were having it far too much our own way.

Re: Burton Thread
 

Four minutes added

Re: Burton Thread
 

All over 3-1

Re: Burton Thread
 

Re: Burton Thread
 

Another good result, well done reds. Macc just equalised

Re: Burton Thread
 

Match report - ASFC News Story > 3930

Re: Burton Thread
 

good-oh, another 3 pts - thanks Dan

Re: Burton Thread
 

A useful result, now sitting at 12th. Thanks for that Dan. :)

Re: Burton Thread
 

cheers dan

Re: Burton Thread
 

Thanks for your commentary Dan.

Re: Burton Thread
 

A nice little yee-hah - shame about their late goal stuffing my prediction though.

Re: Burton Thread
 

You still got 4 points :)

So did I :D

Yee-hah!

Re: Burton Thread
 

Coley's reaction - ASFC News Story > 3931

Re: Burton Thread
 

I think that might blow a hole in some of the business models on here that the cheaper the ticket the bigger the crowd :rolleyes:

Re: Burton Thread
 

advertising only on the website (which will appeal only to those who use it), advertising only as must pay online by 5pm monday - but hold on maybe not, advertising via leaflet poster for only a couple of days and then only in selected premises of Schultz's choice, is hardly the way to push cheap tickets is it? :rolleyes:


I am the biggest (and possibly only) advocator of permanent £5 tickets - but they'd have to be publicised in a proper (and professional :rolleyes:) manner and be just what I said - permanent.

1st reason - it would give Ilyas a real indication of whether it is worth spending ten million of his own money on a new stadium or one million redeveloping what we have.

2nd - as a permanent price, for kids, adults, oldies, grant grabbers and everyone in between it is easy off the tongue, easy to remember and cannot be argued with as the most value for money ticket in the country.

3rd - Stanley have a ridiculous amount of bridges to re-build in Accrington and its surounds, marketed as a "finally giving something back to the community" its a no brainer winner.


but as I've said all along, on its own it wouldn't be that much of a winner (but I still believe it would be to some extent), but would need to be as part of a wider push on all fronts. Sadly the club as it stands would be in no position to do that (see 1st paragraph as to why).

Re: Burton Thread
 

ah that explains it then, I didn't even know he had taken on the marketing role :rolleyes:

Re: Burton Thread
 

well i might have been a bit hasty there, but i would guess it falls under his jurisdiction via the "go put these posters up in the places that support the gold bond" example being that the newsagents on and Grey Horse on Whalley Road had them, but the Oaklea didnt

Re: Burton Thread
 

We had them but don't do Gold Bond. :)

It's a commercial or retail issue surely ?

Re: Burton Thread
 

well you'd have thought so.

who dropped your leaflets off?

Re: Burton Thread
 

Mick did, but it wasn't a case of just dropping in with them, we were asked if we could display them during a conversation about something else.

If they were delivered on the Gold Bond round wouldn't that be logical ? Did anybody else get out and about with them ?

For what it's worth people did actually notice them, as I posted earlier we had a few enquiries. Maybe a lesson to be learned ?

Re: Burton Thread
 

indeed. Your right it would make sense to deliver them whilst out and about on the Gold Bond route - but also there are many other places that would possibly take them (like yourselves and the Oaklea) who just dont bother doing the Gold Bond. There are many things that could be done, regarding advertising games, that aren't. Some cost money and some dont. But until this club gets its thumb out of its arse and starts to see that the world doesn't owe it anything and you have to work and earn things, then it wont get anywhere with half arsed promotions like tonight.

Re: Burton Thread
 

from far away notts well done dave and without getting too precious are there not other people around accy that could do the same

Re: Burton Thread
 

Back to the thread title...

BRILLIANT, just brilliant Well done STANLEY.

Re: Burton Thread
 

A pretty poor first half followed by a good second half performance which in turn lifted the crowd.

A good three points

A big well done to players, management & staff for keeping it moving forward in what has been difficult circumstances:)

Didn't see the setup for the selling of merchandise in the main stand a simple yet a good idea and hopefully a bit of a income generator for the Club.

Re: Burton Thread
 

Re: Burton Thread
 

Pathetic. A stirring performance from the Reds last night with 5 or 6 candidates for man of the match. Gornell for me, for a non stop show of aggression. I haven't seen him rough up the defenders so much before. He seems to be growing physically match by match and is becoming a real handful. Good to see Deano getting forward and blasting a shot into the goalie which was too hot to handle. lets hope he does it more often. Very happy with our progress this season!:D

Re: Burton Thread
 

As the directors don't sit there is that where the match sponsors sit ?

In which case they would be freeloaders at the council tax payers expense :rolleyes:

Re: Burton Thread
 

His work rate was exceptional. Unlucky with some of the offside decisions in the second half too, I was sat in line with a few of them and they were definately wrong. Deserved a goal
