Re: Nice and early Port Vale match thread.......
At the risk of receiving a further stream of abuse, perhaps those who think so badly of me would like to know a bit more about me and they may then realise that they are incorrect about so many things.
Since I started watching football in 1958, my job has taken me all over the country, but I am now retired. At every place I have lived at, I have supported small clubs, usually non-league, because they need support more than their larger brethren. I watched Stanley a few times in 2008 and 2009 before finally moving to the area, and in line with my policy of supporting small clubs, I started watching permanently in early 2010. You may care to note that I do not even live in Accrington. Those who say that I only watched the team because they were winning are quite wrong - when I first started watching the team they were near the bottom of the league. I, like many others, do not like the drums and I cannot see the need for them, but I like good neat football and so I was prepared to put up with the noise. I do not expect to see a team win all the time but a 4-0 reverse to a team who are near the bottom of the league is really not acceptable. I just cannot understand the policy or decisions made by those running the club. With respect to not going to Swindon to see the team lose really cannot be compared to the Cardiff fans going to Wembley, because watching your team play at Wembley in a cup final in front of 87,000 fans is certainly not the same as a wet afternoon at the County Ground watching Swindon play Accrington. It really is not the same thing at all. Many of the Cardiff contingent would have been there simply for the spectacle. I know because I have been to Wembley six times in similar circumstances. No doubt if Stanley ever reach Wembley the town will be emptied but many of those people will not have even been to a football match. With regard to the disgusting abuse I have received on here, written in the most appalling language, it has had no affect upon me at all, because I treat those sort of persons with the contempt they deserve. My wife who was born and bred in the Ribble Valley assures me that not all Lancastrian people behave like that. Most small clubs I have attended have been very friendly, but some of those who have written on here have demonstrated all to clearly to me that this certainly does not appear to be the case at Accrington. I sincerely hope that the club get back on track for you but I will not be there to see it. There are many other clubs in this area and I shall be watching most of these over the next few months. I was going to come to the Crown ground on Saturday but in view the animosity shown to me I have now bought a ticket to watch another game. I was also going to bring my son and his girlfriend to the Crown Ground so you have lost 3 supporters, not one, but apparently you do not need me anyway, so that is OK. I do not hold any grudge against anyone at the Crown, despite the abuse I have received. This really will be my last message. Please do not bother to reply to it as I will not be reading this forum again and you will be simply wasting your time and energy. Goodbye and good luck to you for the rest of the season., because I think you will need it! Malcolm |

In all seriousness, if your previous post is a true reflection of the way you 'enjoy' football, I feel sorry for you. The bug that bites so many at Accrington Stanley has obviously evaded you. You must understand that our love of the football club has nothing to do with results, so your scathing attack is utterly misplaced. I hope the bug does get you one day, as it's the best disease anyone could ever wish for. |

Re: Nice and early Port Vale match thread.......
Its going to be a tough game on Saturday,I am just a bit worried shakers team will struggle against the Ariel threat at corners and set pieces.I am looking forward to seeing any rabbits that cooky can pull out the hat.
Keeper will have to have a massive game if they are to gt anything. |

They will actually be missing 103 this weekend then. I rang up for 100 tickets for my family ( we're Dingles we breed a lot ) and was just about to pay when they dropped a massive bombshell. We were each expected to take our own drumstick just to have a go at banging the drum. Absolutley no consideration by the club, they expected us to turn up and watch the football, we'll stick to gigs and festivals from now on.:mad: |

Re: Nice and early Port Vale match thread.......
The young lad from Wigan,Willis?,is he not worth a go with Murph,if that were the case i would go with two experienced fullbacks in Coid and Kev Mac,so Shakers team looks like the probable starting eleven

Admittedly they didn't have to deal with sun in their eyes, but Murphy and Liddle coped much better in the middle than the first half pairing against Swindon. I've never been convinced by Murphy in midfield or full back but he looked the part as CB in the second half. And the goalie seemed to settle behind them, and pulled off some good saves. Hope Lindfield has a better game - is there no sign of Hatfield or Burton coming though? |
Re: Nice and early Port Vale match thread.......
The only problem with that Exile is that IMO Liddle may get found wanting in the ariel battles.
Indeed,if you watch Swindons first goal,Benson got across him at the back post (cookys method of defending is being in front of your man,touch tight,and dont let them get across the front of you). Port Vale will start fast so defending high up the field will be key. That may take away the ariel threat,but this may expose our possible lack of pace. Looking forward to the game,and hopefully a few lads will rise to the challenge.---key man-the keeper |
Re: Nice and early Port Vale match thread.......
