Re: Pre-Season

Re: Pre-Season

Re: Pre-Season

Re: Pre-Season
 

Preston friendly cancelled

Re: Pre-Season
 

Was it ever on the fixture list? I never noticed it.

Re: Pre-Season
 

Was supposed to be a home game but neither team could agree on an alternate venue

Re: Pre-Season
 

Funny un that:confused:

Re: Pre-Season
 

Quite fancy a trip to StalyVegas &/or Halifax - doeable by train & being on Saturdays, sound like a couple of good days out :)

Re: Pre-Season
 

Yeah on the 11:28 from Accy to Victoria for the first, arrives 12:30, then 12:57 to Stalybridge only takes 14 mins.

The 12:03 to Halifax allows for 13 mins walking and 2hrs drinking.

Re: Pre-Season
 

halifax is the nearest ground to me so looking forward to that one. free street parking near the ground is at a premium. station only 10 mins. flat walk to the ground so its a good option but for the drinkers there,s not many pubs near the ground so its uphill to the town centre. indoor market good if you want to eat. concorde cafe is highly recommended.

Re: Pre-Season
 

The County Ground at Leyland offered to stage it there. PNE were ok with that, not sure why Stanley turned it down :confused:

Re: Pre-Season
 

Please Sir;

Don't post lies!!:mad: You really don't know how much effort and time has been put into finding an alternative venue.

Do you really think ASFC want to let down a local Championship Club??

Both Club's were keen to play at Leyland and for very good reason's the LFA stadium was unavailable

Re: Pre-Season
 

Don't post lies please, you know very well the County Ground was free to stage that match. I should know as my daughter works there :eek:

Re: Pre-Season
 

Admission prices released for Halifax match
Adults £10
Concessions & U16's £6
U12's £2

Re: Pre-Season
 

I take at this stage we are only going to have the 4 friendlies.

Re: Pre-Season
 

There's a couple of "behind closed" doors games being talked about before the squad go away for a few days.

Top of my head stuff is

19th Skem (a)

23rd Stalybridge (a)

26th Barrow (a)

30th FC Halifax (a)

So 4 games for fans admission looks correct

PS I try to post correct information!!

Re: Pre-Season
 

Aye but yeh did tell him, not to post lies and followed it with an angry face, seems he was very unlikely to be wrong,

Re: Pre-Season
 

Baldy said we are playing Blackpool and Ac Milan behind closed doors

Re: Pre-Season
 

AC Milan game is off as the Stadio de Countio is apparently unavailable

Re: Pre-Season
 

Re: Pre-Season
 

Perth Glory too but couldn't find suitable training facilities for them whilst they stay in Clayton!

Re: Pre-Season
 

Without a ground to play on you can't expect big clubs to play you as they will be preparing their pitches and preferring to play away. There are development squad teams that could be a decent spectacle, and Manchester City's have their own ground which could be worth a visit.

Re: Pre-Season
 

Re: Pre-Season
 

Yes they play at home to bigger supported or higher division clubs, so Stanley are limited to Morecambe away at best. That is why Stanley ended up playing non-league teams, it is unlikely any league team would host Stanley as it isn't a draw for home or away fans.
