The Christmas Truce
Commemorating the 1914 Christmas Truce with football, songs, reflection and sharing

Saturday 20 December, 3pm – Accrington Stanley FC, Livingstone Road, Accrington, Lancashire, BB5 5BX

This event will be woven in and around the league match between Accrington Stanley FC and Wycombe Wanderers FC on 20 December. Music, singing and moments of reflection will happen before, during and after ASFC's last home match before Christmas. A special free souvenir programme will be available. Featuring the Truce Choir, East Lancashire Concert Band, displays of artwork created during the project and more. Join us and listen to, or sing along to, While Shepherds Watch, Peace on Earth, When This Blasted War is Over, Silent Night, Only Remembered, Tipperary and football anthems. At half time the presentation of trophies to the winners and runners up of the Truce Centenary Cup Football Competition for U12s will take place on the pitch. Members of those teams will also escort ASFC and WWFC players onto the pitch for the kick off, which is at 3pm.

Separate programme or the match day programme ?

Re: Christmas Truce this Saturday
 

Surely it can only be separate with it being free..............

When I first read the title of this thread I thought it was referring to DAV007 & the rest of Accyweb :D

No. It's a truce between the UEFA Pro licence holders in the main stand and the amateur in the dug-out.:rolleyes::D:D

Now needs to be applied to the open warfare between football19 and Smudgie that's just broken out in the Yeovil replay thread.

More on topic, Mrs C and I saw an excellent production of "The Accrington Pals" down here in Pompey just recently. Some things are more important than football .....

I watched it over the summer in Teignmouth - Always wanted to see it, but just never the right time / location for me.

Great Production.

Agree with you Chimer, as would everyone in football.....except Bill Shankly ??.

We're hoping to get the crowd singing the chorus from "All together now"
