BIGGEST MATCH OF THE SEASON SO FAR ON FRIDAY NIGHT!!!:rose8:
We need to maintain our momentum and there can be no better way of doing so than by getting THRRE POINTS against The Shakers on Friday night!:alright:
We need a good turn out of support for Coley, Jimmy and the Stanley team so get the buzz going round the town for extra folks to come on and support the team. I am sure that there will be a good turn out of Bury supporters and we need to beat them by being NUMEROUS, COLOURFUL, LOUD and PROUD!!!!!:wave8:
In Division 2 we now have a little gap below us and a win would likely increase that gap over those below us. The three points would also help us to get closer to the Play Off candidates and we would start to become a really serious challenger for a top 7 finish.
So one and all, get down to The Crown on Friday night....Bring your friends and family......:theband:
Be seen IN RED.....SHOUT, CLAP, SING AND WAVE THOSE FAMOUS FLAGS AND BE THAT TWELFTH MAN ONCE MORE IN PLAYING OUR PART IN THE CONTINUING STORY OF OUR WONDERFUL CLUB.
ON STANLEY ON.:wave8::horn8::drink::signbeer:

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Really looking forward to this un, hopefully the gate will be well boosted by pishtakers, which would certainly help. On Stanley On.:alright:

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Who is gonna be between the sticks on friday night?

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Terrible weather forecast for the Accy area from noon onwards on Friday , very heavy rain and strong winds .
The last thing the club needs is a 7pm postponement but it cannot be ruled out IF the weather boffins have called it right ?

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Forecast i'm looking at says light rain Friday, Sat crap.

UK weather to see TWO Atlantic storms merge to batter Britain | Daily Mail Online

I know it's the Mail, but this doesn't look promising.

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

As others have said, forecast looks horrific, but im sure the pitch can and will hold out.

Not sure about the biggest game of the season, but its always good to win a local derby.

As for the keeper.......... Dawber is the only option at the moment as far as I can see..... Unless a rabbit is pulled out of the hat before Friday?

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Theres supposed to be a very promising young keeper in the youth? probably too young n inexperienced though. Just read in L.E.T. Simpson decided to turn a short term loan down to seek regular footy,I fear that will only be Non-League, silly lad.

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Bloody Hell Cashy he's only just out of nappies !!!!!

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Hey i'm nearly back in em.:D

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Or a conejo....

:)

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

That's not exactly true ,remember you were on my knee all the way to Exeter !!!
P.S. You left your dummy.... I'll bring it Friday.

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Speak sodding english, us numpties have no idea what yer on about.:confused:

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

A conejo I think is Spanish for a rabbit. A female rabbit I believe?.........I would prefer a male goalkeeper for Friday...... if at all possible.....

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Sudden switch to Spanish, wonder if that's a hint. Man Utd signing Victor Valdes, lack of match practice, send him on loan to our imaginary new friends down the road :D

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Before somebody else says it, "not bad for a Dingle...."

:) :) :)

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Conejo is Spanish for European rabbit.

Victor Valdes: Man Utd to sign former Barcelona goalkeeper

By Simon Stone
BBC Sport
Former Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes has accepted an offer to join Manchester United.
The Spain international, who has been training with United in his bid to recover from a serious knee injury, has agreed an 18-month contract.
Valdes, 32, won six La Liga and three Champions League titles with Barcelona, before leaving at the end of last season when his contract expired.
The deal could lead to the keeper leaving Old Trafford on loan to gain match fitness - a short term loan has not been ruled out.
It also poses a question about the future of 24-year-old first-choice goalkeeper David De Gea, who was the club's player of the year last season and has excelled again this term.
His contract is due to expire in 2016, although senior United sources have said they were relaxed about him signing an extension to that deal.

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Will we be doing tickets for the game we won't be playing against Barcelona as part of the transfer deal :D

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Behave :)

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

On a more serious note. What's the weather like in Accy and is there any danger to the game as I have to leave at midday on Friday and won't get home until 5am saturday.

I've already done one all day wasted trip for Burton so could do without it again at my age :).

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Not seen ice on any cars since Sunday. No chance of being frozen off but waterlogged can't be ruled out from the forecast.

I was surprised that Hartlepool was on so possibly nothing to worry about yet.

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Well Rose is back in town....... along with ANOTHER new keeper apparently.!

Looks like Dawber will be back at Clitheroe im assuming....

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Been speaking to a few Bury fans and half aren't going to risk the trip for fear of late postponement. Not a representative sample by any means but I hope that if the match does go ahead we're not left with a less than ample following from the Shakers. Playing a game with such a local rival with the potential for a substantial away following on a Friday night really seems like a waste :(

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Not many times I agree with you shaker..... But I 100% agree with that.

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Weather doesn't look promising. Just hope for all that, if the match is in doubt, the ref doesn't fanny around until the last minute like the last one. Takes an optimist to be a groundsman in Accy.

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Oh that's a shame, I was starting to look forward to a "female Spanish European rabbit between the sticks on friday against Bury .........":hehetable

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

I'm pleased for Mr.Dawber that he'll be getting games under his belt rather than sitting on his bum for the rest of the season.

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Hopefully at a higher level than Clitheroe, though. Reports suggest he's too good a goalkeeper to be playing at their level.

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Indeed, but thanks should go to Clitheroe's manager for offering him the chance to pursue his career.

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

New keeper on loan from Arsenal...Matt Macey. Although fishy site also says that Jack Rose is back and fit to play. Seamus Conneely could also figure tonight as Moly has gone back to Crewe and Matt Crooks has gone back to Hartlepool as both their loan spells have finished. Let's hope that we can get Moly back here as he is always a potential match winner and it sounded like he played really well at Exeter.:love:
Also read Coley's comments about the forthcoming Bury match and I like what he says about the importance of tonights encounter.:thumbsup:
Don't forget we ALL must play our part and get 100% BEHIND THE TEAM.:theband:
LOUD, PROUD, COLOURFUL in playing our part tonight....
ON STANLEY ON:wave8:

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

"Matt Crooks has gone back to Hartlepool"

Dont you think Hartlepool have enough problems;) :)

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Somebody must be talking a load of SH*T about tonights game as i've just seen 6 portable loos being delivered to the ground !!!!!

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Hope we can gave a good show of flags at the start to show our support for Coley and the team.:alright:
What chance of a BIG SHOW ULTRAS?:hehetable
COME ON YOU REDS:cheers::signbeer::wave8::rose8:

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

At this point I would settle for the game just being on

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

BBC weather forecast is for heavy rain from noon until 7.00 pm, but noon has passed here in Clayton and it's only drizzle/light rain. Nowt to worry about as yet.

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

What do you Stanley fans reckon is the likelyhood of the game being on?

Love Stanley away, win lose or draw so really really hope the game is on.

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

My thoughts are it will definitely be on, unless a monsoon descends.

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Keep us posted with how things are going? :-)

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

will do, looks ok at this point.:)

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

I'm with Redraine & Cashy. At the moment it's just the occasional drizzle in Accy.

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

non stop steady light rain now, I can't find any news on a pitch inspection, hope this is not going to be another last minute match postponement

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Thanks for keeping me posted. I work at MRI hospital and its been raining steadily for the last hour. Will you keep your pitch covered at all?

Am pretty sure the forecast is for the rain to stop at around 8pm. If its covered until 7pm and the rain remains light then surely the pitch would be okay.

As a side note I am predicting a comfortable home win tonight so will be cursing the game if it is on.:mad:

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Pitch will be inspected when referee arrives, normal practice :)

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Aye but a decision when the Ref arrives is far from normal practice.:rolleyes:

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Raining quite hard now but not torrential. Just the typical Stanley match day pre- game weather!

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

match ref expected to inspect at 5-00 pm according to asfcofficial twitter at 14-53 pm

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

quote from asfcofficial on twitter (inspection brought forward to 4-30 pm)

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

ASFC Twitter have just added a current pitch photo ( taken around 3.15 pm ??? ) definitely looks to be "holding water" .

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Doesn't look good ,water now standing in several places and rain not getting easier......needs to ease off but another 3-4hours of this rain and there's no chance.

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

The forecast from 6pm is very heavy, this is just a shower in comparison :)

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Pitch inspection at 4:30 - Accrington Stanley FC :(:(

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

If the club were to put a call out for a load of forkers shouldn't have a problem finding them :)

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Agree with Chubbyman I,m only 1/2 mile from the ground and my guess is this will be another game called off, if that is to be the case I only hope it is before 6-30 when the shakers coaches leave, it certainly looks like Kev Ellison weather

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Pitch inspect 4_30 it will be off.

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

The monsoon arrived ...

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

You & your flamin' predictions :rolleyes:

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

:( Noahs just gone past the window;)

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

watch out for the lions then

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

I know its a bitch, Stanley need the dosh i imagine n looks remote now wi state of things and forecast fer next few hours.:eek:

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Can we not have a 90-minute game of water polo to decide who gets the three points instead?

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Cannot see it being on at this rate.... :(

:) :) :)

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Seeing as I can never predict the attendance thingy correctly do I get a prize for being the first to predict this ? :tongueout

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

I'll fetch the horses... :D

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

BBC says postponed.

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

asfcofficial on twitter says match off

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Fishy also. great shame, but well done fer once, saves many folk a journey.

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

So that'll be twenty grands worth of lost income, thank god we've got Real Madrid next week!

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

J

How much are the tickets?

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Oh poo! Pictures on Fishy Site conclusive. Lots of standing water, just needs a few ducks!
Clearly the right decision with such an important match.
Quack Quack !!:egged::gif_12::gif_12::gif_12:

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Anticipating heavy storms of "tinpot Accy", "can't you just f*ck off back to the Conference" and "go bust" comments from Bury fans.

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

you'll know them all being a Dingle

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Anyone else see it on Granada Reports?

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Yep, more mickey taking but was quite funny :)

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Bury fans have short memories

Graham Westley pays for Preston fans' petrol after Bury game postponed | Football | The Guardian

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Can I put in a claim for today :D

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Seriously, I think you can, for both matches!

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Even if I could claim from the club I wouldn't. That's the risk you take at this level travelling at this time of year. Normally I wouldn't travel but the forecasts looked good for Burton as did the word for the club. Bury was 13 degrees and no mention of heavy rain when I booked the train tickets so I thought it was OK.

I would rather not take money out of the club especially when they have none. And it would be good if it was rearranged for the midweek after wimbledon as I'm off that week so may risk it again :o

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

That's the middle of July then ? :)

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

At least the game would be on. After the last two attempts at watching football in Accy I have decided we need summer football :D.

Anything is better than two dafties trying to hit a ball over a net for hours. Our front line have been doing that all season for far less money. :)

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

You could give it a try but i doubt Westley would stump up ;)

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Are the commemorative tickets for yesterday's postponed match available on t'fishy site yet? ;)

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

New date Tuesday 27th January according to the Official site fixtures

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

have the bury fans forgot 16th jan 2001

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

my apologies choirboy for starting another match thread, I did not see this earlier match thread, I would like to close my match thread & revert to this thread regards Bob

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

No worries ACCYBEME.:do-one::do-one::do-one:
Its probably as well to stick with the new thread as our squad has changed a bit having lost some of our 'loanees' and also having lost a couple of recent matches......:cool:
Anyway the ACCYWeb moderator will possibly 'merge' the threads when he read this.:jimbo:
ALL TOGETHER NOW....:hehetable
ON STANLEY ON:theband:

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Afternoon ladies and gents!
Can't attend tonight - is there anyway of hearing commentary online other than player?
I'm sure I recall listening to a very good Accy comm. from Gigg Lane a few years ago?
Good luck for the rest of the season Accrington (after tonight obviously!)

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Others will correct me if I'm wrong (and some even if I'm not), but I can no longer find any live match feed on the Stanley web site.
But surely this clash of Lancashire titans will be on Radio By'Eck, or whatever it's called?

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Cheers ta for that Exile!
Presume you mean Radio Lancs?
Not sure I can get that - it won't be on Radio Manchester as the lovely Notlob Wanderers are sure to be the comm. game! grrrrr!

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Possibly Radio Lancs?

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Thanks cashman!
I'm in Manchester so not sure I can get Radio Lancashire this far down sadly!

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

You should get 95.5fm in Manchester. Sadly, it's only updates from Accy tonight:

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Your bloody Avatar strikes again!!!!!!!

But lets hope not

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Let's hope that's an injury or fatigue based decision and not a transfer on the cards.

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

:( Chesterfield I beleave :(

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

Apparently Oldham mate!

Re: Bury Match Thread
 

All Stanley first 15 mins and we should have made better use of winning the majority of the aerial battles. However Bury should have scored when there striker messed up a volley when 8 yards out around the 17 min mark. Burys centre half nearly got on the end of a whipped in free kick around 20 mins. Bury are trying to expose the flanks as we push up , their number 2 practically hugged the line from 25 mins onwards. Again that same defender number 27 arrived in the box with pace from a corner and caught Stanley asleep which went just over the bar around 38 mins. At the very end of the half bury again exploited Stanley s lack of pace and space down buxtons side but missed their chance again. A equal 1st half but bury should have taken one of their chances and Stanley need to rethink the tactics or close down the source of Burys passes to the left wing , as there is every chance Bury will not keep being so careless in the 2nd half. Buxton looks a lot more exposed than Winnard. Maguire and McCartan have done nothing while Joyce's decision making with the ball has been a second to slow.

Looks like Tom is off.............. Gutted ! :(
