current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

21st July (sat) Blackburn (h)
24 July (tue) AFC Flyde (a)
29 July (sun) St Mirren (h)
31 July (tue) Warrington (a)
4 Aug (sat) Coventry (h)
8 Aug (wed) Manure LFA Final (n)
11 Aug (sat) Bolton (h)

can't be much more to add surely? I'd expect an odd one or two nothing games shovelled in on a wednesday or tuesday around an existing midweek game that will be fielded mainly by youth team players.


First time in living memory that the friendlies have been sorted this early!! :D

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

Wouldn,t bank on the 1st one the way things are going we won,t have a team.

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

Cracking pre-season. Lovely mix of glamour games to test ourselves and make a few quid....with a few traditional non-league p**s-ups thrown in for good measure. Roll on the first game :)

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

Why ? Players don't start back until the beginning of July, any signings before then are a bonus.

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

Sligo (away) ? :o

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

I think the clue was in their username:eek:

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

I dont think Sligo is happening, this summer anyway.

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

They will have more players than Stanley have had in 10 years. Best of all they still have a manager in place to sort it all out :D

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

Spot on Pendle Red I am a very upset(putting it mildly)Rvrs fan.:mad:

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

Why not come on a few games at Stanley Hassy?

We are a friendly bunch and play decent football:)

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

Yes Pendle Red I might just do that I won,t be renewing my season tkt we have a manager who knows what he,s doing I watched Stanley as a child in the 50s :)

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

So did i hassy rvr. had a rovers season ticket fer 30 yrs or so, Never regretted going back to Stanley,plus i can still stand up, always hated sitting.;)

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

Hope you do as Young Cashy said he has never looked back since coming back to Stanley:cool:

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

More Rovers fans the better :)

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

said the same to a few friends recently that with the way things are at Rovers we should be pushing Stanley as much as possible in that direction...

Proper Terraces
Close to the action
REAL football not primadonna rubbish
Family club
Raw atmosphere

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

Told you this already, hassy rvr.

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

Yep n yeh will get a drink of us in the oaklea pre match.

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

Can a come as well :drink::D

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

Will get yeh a pint anytime mate.

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

:D:D how was your hols pal:) lots gone on while you were away :do-one:

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

Has the Aug 8Th Final venue been set in stone? Heard club were trying to get it at the crown, before i went on hols.?:confused:

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

Yes, 8th Aug "set in stone"

Man Utd v ASFC @ County Ground, ko 7-45pm

Any more questions?;)

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

Cheers Mark, suspected it would be.;)

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

A "proper ground" was offered as an alternative; but the "rules" do state final at Leyland. Suspect they didn't expect 2 big teams to contest the final:)

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

May be 2 big teams, But only 1 "Proper Team";)

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

man united last two reserve game were all ticket by all accounts

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

Probably one of the few times you can sit in the Theatre of Dreams at a decent price

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

4000 at Old Trafford against Villa in the Reserve League play-off and 5000+ at the Etihad against Manchester City in the Manchester Senior Cup. They won both.

Occasionally, like the play-off final, but most of their games are at Altrincham and get crowds of around 500.

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

Manchester Senior cup AND the Lancashire Senior Cup? :confused:

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

Agreed. Manchester is part of Lancashire in my eyes. : Political boundaries??? Blah.

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

liverpool and everton enter the lancashire Senior cup and liverpool senior cup,

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

Alvin please no. I live in Wigan and I have the divels own job telling them they are not lancastrians but Mancs or Scousers (drives 'em nuts). Manchester is not nor hasn't been part of Lancashire since 1972. 2 Preston Guilds ago.
:eek::cool:

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

If you follow that logic then, since 1998, Blackpool and Blackburn are no longer part of Lancashire! Me, I'm with Alvin and sticking with the County Palatine, Barrow an' all: FORL:Lancashire County Palatine.

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

I'm wi Alvin n MikeA, on this n if that winds Mancs n Scousers up, even more so.:D

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

Good to see Pendle Hill in the magnificent seven:)

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

Back to topic, see we have a friendly booked on fishy site for 31st against the part time scousers from Skem Utd.

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

Im assuming that game has replaced Warrington ???

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

Looks that way............

ASFC News Story > 4745

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

Padiham and Marine now confirmed. Should hopefully get a decent crowd down to the Arbories although I do miss our annual trips to Shawbridge. :)

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

That's ten friendlies in 26 days ......:confused:

They'll be lacquered before the season starts ...........:p

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

Looking forward to another short trip to the Arbories

Went to a few Padiham games last season got a great little clubhouse and quality food

What football is all about;)

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

Good to see sensible pricing for the Coventry game hope it ensure a good few thousand through the gates:)

Looks like you won't be the only one Hassy

Blackburn Rovers in season ticket farce as fans are turned away (From Lancashire Telegraph)

There must be something that Stanley can do here to help boost our attendances whilst giving disenchanted Rovers fans a chance to watch regular footy?

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

"bring your renewal letters to the Stanley club shop and we'll knock you fifty sheets off a season ticket - and you can stand up!!! and sing!!!"

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

Would be great if we could get hold of a list of last seasons ST holders!!!!!

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

I am sure most of us know at least one Rovers fan so there is access that way or some subliminal advertising

Re: current list of friendlies (to keep up)
 

If we want publicity, why not set a game up in the Falklands against Stanley Stanley?
