Do we really have to have that repulsive club grace the Crown Ground more than the regular fixtures allow :( (Fleetwood not Rovers ;) )

There was a similar undertaking with us Morecambe & Rovers at the Globe last season it wil multiply the fans and hopefully offer decent value for money on admission prices works for me.

It'll be good to have pre season matches at the Crown again, instead of at places like Marine, Bootle,Camel Laird(or whatever they're called). The ground staff must have faith in the pitch! :)

It is good to have Pre season matches at the crown, I have no intention though of watching Fleetwood, unless playing us.

Am i missing summat about Fleetwood? I get the impression that there's a bit of ill feeling between us and them. :confused:

Only time I've ever been threatened at the Crown (apart from by players) was a pre-season "friendly" against Fleetwood in the late 80's. Think I'll give it a miss. :(

I'm sorry but late 80's and you are going to give it a miss !?

I'm 21 years old and I'd hate it if being a Stanley fan was held against me for something that happened before I was even born.

Far more than one isolated incident. It kicked off on a number of occasions including one league match where the police had to go in with dogs. Definitely an unpleasant element amongst their fans. I hope that's changed over the years, but I remain sceptical.

Fleetwood caused trouble at Twickenham some years ago, YES trouble at a RUGBY UNION match, it could only be Fleetwood.:eek:

Wynonie is right about the 80s and early 90s. I remember going to a League Cup Final at Maine Road in the early 90s between Mossley and Fleetwood. All the fans were in the main stand and it kicked off big time. I remember having to climb over seats to get away from the trouble.

I have no idea what it's like now, but hopefully it's all moved on. I can't see them still tolerating that kind of thing, especially with the way the stadium and club have evolved.

Maybe a cod-based diet will, over the years, have diminished these reported aggressive tendencies Cashy ?? ..or if not then Wyn will have ample time to develop
a few Chuck Norris moves which will give him the confidence to join us at this Soccer Fest !!..( I use this term loosely having little love for either the Ewood Chicks or the Cod Army !!)...

Any chance we'll be able to get a Premiership team down to the Crown as well? ;)
