"22nd July Oldham at the Wham.:)

Re: friendly's
 

It Is always good to get some decent pre season friendlies in before the season starts. We have some strong opposition so far. I think that is what let us down last season.

Re: friendly's
 

don,t think we started that badly last season especially in the league cup. it was november and december that was dire.

Re: friendly's
 

Re: friendly's
 

£5 admission at Southport - I like it, I like it a lot :)

Re: friendly's
 

How much will it be to get in the friendlies at the wham?

Re: friendly's
 

Probably same as normal games

Re: friendly's
 

Don't think prices have been released yet, hope they won't be more than a tenner but we'll have to wait & see . . . . .

Re: friendly's
 

If the aim is to try and increase the fan base, would be wise to make the friendlies attractively priced imho.

Re: friendly's
 

Would expect the usual Blackburn and burnely fixtures to be unveiled by now

Re: friendly's
 

Neither BRFC or BFC had any availability that worked for both Clubs.

"Invites" have been sent to other high profile friendly clubs; we hope to get positive news "soon" but with some decision makers on annual leave it's a slow process:(

Re: friendly's
 

At least its good to know.;)

Re: friendly's
 

Please say Wigan :)

Re: friendly's
 

Burnley just don't want to come & get beaten again:rolleyes::D

Re: friendly's
 

High profile clubs? Real Madrid at the wham maybe? ;)

Re: friendly's
 

They've played Shamrock Rovers, Bournemouth and Plymouth in recent years. If you don't ask you don't get!! ;):D

Re: friendly's
 

And what about 'I want doesn't get' young Alvin :D

Re: friendly's
 

Padiham away 1st August

Re: friendly's
 

They're high profile...in Hapton.
Only joshing, I think Stanley 'owe it' to smaller local clubs just as much as bigger clubs 'owe it' to Stanley in the friendly season.

Re: friendly's
 

Prices for Oldham friendly £10, concessions £5 & a quid for under 12's - :)

Re: friendly's
 

We'll have more pre-season friendly news for you tomorrow with confirmation of a big game at the Wham Stadium

Re: friendly's
 

Sounds interesting . . . . . I'll hazard a guess at Liverpool, then we can compare our Adidas kits :)

Re: friendly's
 

Real Madrid/ Bayern/juventus they all play in adidas

Re: friendly's
 

Which poses the question.why are they sponsoring us? they aint exactly gonna sell that many shirts etc by comparison.

Re: friendly's
 

Are they actually going to be sponsoring us, or just selling kit to us? :confused:

Re: friendly's
 

Thought they was just making the kit, there was no mention of them paying us anything

Re: friendly's
 

I read this and was confused for a second...Then I realised Cashman wrote it!

Re: friendly's
 

Fair comment we cant all be as clever as you.:rolleyes:

Re: friendly's
 

Maybe it's something Mr T could enlighten us on

Re: friendly's
 

'Uddersfield

Re: friendly's
 

Is it just me who feels slightly let down? Big game was promised & sorry, I know they've reached the premiership but, Huddersfield - really??
Big contrast to how excited I felt queuing up for tickets when we drew them in the fa cup back in 2003! :(

Re: friendly's
 

We're delighted to welcome @premierleague new boys @htafcdotcom to the Wham Stadium on 12th July accringtonstanley.co.uk/2017/06/top-fl…

Hardly the big team they were building it up as

Re: friendly's
 

Its a premier league team thats ok with me. not exactly a top side but still a premier.

Re: friendly's
 

We should get the Gouck out

Re: friendly's
 

He should be guest of honour :)

Re: friendly's
 

Why do we have to wait for the admission price to be confirmed. £10 max for any pre season friendly is enough.

Re: friendly's
 

They might ramp up the prices for the "big club" to make more money

Re: friendly's
 

I dont think they will be "that daft"!!

Re: friendly's
 

Really? When we have people Like burgess who'd rather stop Orient fans collecting money to save thier club so our club would still get more money, can still see been charged more for Huddersfield match

Billy's having plenty of fun before it gets serious

Re: friendly's
 

Oh my word!! Got to give him his due, not got a bad pair of pins :D

Re: friendly's
 

Doesn't look as manly as most of the lasses walking round Blackburn 😂

Re: friendly's
 

same in keighley. they give it away though pushing a pram with 2 other under 5,s in tow.

Re: friendly's
 

thought they were allowed to collect in the end although it was very low key

Re: friendly's
 

Love the tight skirt Billy....
so no overhead scissor kicks next season eh!:Banane23:

Re: friendly's
 

According to andy holt we have 4 home friendlys, anyone have any idea on the 4th?

Re: friendly's
 

Away Nelson Friday 14th July

Re: friendly's
 

Southport, Oldham, Preston, Huddersfield.

Re: friendly's
 

Southport away
Padiham away
Preston home
Oldham home
Huddersfield home

Re: friendly's
 

Good news on admission for the 4 home friendly games, on fishy site now - £10 per game or all 4 for £30.
The fourth home game will be on Saturday 15th July & is TBC (not sure whether that's TBC United or City but sounds good) :)

Re: friendly's
 

Are we playing marine? Or will that just be the kids team?

Re: friendly's
 

Nelson vs Stanley XI also to add to the list

Re: friendly's
 

as of thread number 48 ? above

Re: friendly's
 

as of thread number 48 above ?

Re: friendly's
 

ramsbottom Tuesday 11th july

Re: friendly's
 

Tomorow 11am 4th home friendly will be announced

Re: friendly's
 

Any idea who?

Re: friendly's
 

I don't want to get my hopes up after the last disappointment

Re: friendly's
 

Good money on it being Everton!

Re: friendly's
 

Pretty sure they already have a friendly on date the tba game will be so unless they're sending the kids to us I doubt it's them

Re: friendly's
 

Looks like that are sending the kids after all

Re: friendly's
 

Probably be a mixture of 1st team players & youth for both games - they sent a strong line up last time, doesn't seem 4 years ago!

Re: friendly's
 

Should be a good friendly that un.:)

Re: friendly's
 

P.s. Just looked on Everton's website & no mention of another game on 15th - they've one on 13th & another on 19th

Re: friendly's
 

Just contacted the club to get a 4 game ticket deal as advertised and tickets are on sale at the club during office hours. Only problem is they are not available yet as they have not been printed. How bad is that for organisation. The girl on the phone was helpful as she could possibly be. This is where we as a club let ourselves down so often, This is basic stuff. It is embarrassing and annoying. I wonder how many people will take the trouble to call in and simply not come back.

Re: friendly's
 

Well how could they be printed,? when the Everton Game has only just been confirmed.:confused: To be honest i never thought they woulda been available until the games were all sorted.

Re: friendly's
 

Cashy;

Spot on; announcement coming soon re tickets for the PSF's.

Everton have been quite busy with several "things"

All printed and ready to sell

Chris R; can we pls agree to differ; once again?

Re: friendly's
 

"There’s no real enthusiasm for under 21’s football or reserve team football or whatever you want to call it." Dave Burgess

I call it Everton XI..

Re: friendly's
 

How much is the 4game ticket deal??

Re: friendly's
 

£30 Mab :)

Re: friendly's
 

My simple point was that it had been advertised on the club site as available and they were not. I have been contacted by the club who had their reasons which I fully accept. It was a misjudgement plain and simple. I was a little hasty in my criticism perhaps. Although it is an annoyance. However this is much overshadowed by the prospect of one of the best pre season build ups I can recall.

Re: friendly's
 

Fair enough.

Re: friendly's
 

Just been up n got me tickets a real bargain, also can go on Clayton End, just the job, things really looking up.:)

Re: friendly's
 

You can pay on the night /day as well can't you??

Re: friendly's
 

Aye mate, but its well worth buying the 4.

Re: friendly's
 

I have managed to get my 4 tickets for the friendlies, Can't wait.

Re: friendly's
 

MR T, I replied to the PM, As far as I am concerned the matter is over and is forgotten, It was a simple error by someone publishing a little early, No Crime. I did apologise for being to quick to criticise.

Re: friendly's
 

Chris R sir;

As always; minor error; Thank you for accepting the explanation

Re: friendly's
 

Having just purchased my tickets for the 4 home friendlies, I can't help but feel the club should be doing more to advertise the amazing value of this offer.
As an old duffer, the £15 cost equates to only £3.75 per game, and this to watch 2 premier league & 1 Championship club.
Surely this bargain should be plastered all over Accrington, including the 'fixture' advertising boards on Eastgate & Whalley Rd?
It seems to have disappeared off the radar on the fishy site & you now have to search 'friendlies' to get any info etc.
It's OK for us regular forum members who are 'in-the-know', but there's a big local customer pool who must be oblivious to the excitement that awaits them, and all for a pittance.

Re: friendly's
 

Damn right, also got mine for the Clayton End, sod that sitting down.:D

Re: friendly's
 

Clitheroe (Evo-Stik League One) v Accrington Stanley Xl Saturday**22nd July 3pm

Re: friendly's
 

Apparently Huddersfield have sold out their allocation, don't know if it's true but I know a Huddersfield fan that went to get a ticket and got told there was non left

Re: friendly's
 

Send them some more quick, no chance that we'll sell out!

Re: friendly's
 

That's a shame, always a good day out at Clitheroe but will be at the home game v Oldham that day

Re: friendly's
 

Huddersfield sold initial 300 on first day of sales...another 1000 been sent over today!

I believe Huddersfield are using the Stanley and Bury pre season tickets to get priority for Crystal Palace Premier League game

Re: friendly's
 

Our game against rams bottom on the 11th July has been postponed due to ground work not finishing in time

Re: friendly's
 

I blame Sky :rolleyes:

Re: friendly's
 

Rooney's just re-signed for Everton, wonder if he'll play at the Crown next weekend?? :rolleyes:

Re: friendly's
 

Unfortunately we're playing the under 23's

Re: friendly's
 

It just says an Everton X1 - & surely he'll only be a fringe player for them now

Re: friendly's
 

Hughesy and Macca are both blues - I think - bet they are both hoping he is there.. :)

"Can I have your signature mate?" :)

:) :) :)

Re: friendly's
 

There is no age restriction, but they have form for not turning up at the crown.

Doubt anyone on here remembers it though.

Re: friendly's
 

They brought a strong side last time we had a friendly with them, think it was about 4 years ago

Re: friendly's
 

Well the first team will be playing abroad I doubt they're going to fly home just To play us and then fly straight back out

Re: friendly's
 

yes martinez brought the lot, i think the only player who didn't take part was Tim Howard

Re: friendly's
 

Doubt if they will take Rooney abroad, he aint the best example:D

Re: friendly's
 

Plus if you go on Everton website it doesn't show us on their fixture list

Re: friendly's
 

it show's us on the under 23 fixture list with a 7 45 kickoff, lets hope we don't pull them in the checkatrade trophy & Lancashire Senior Cup you never know

Re: friendly's
 

Wonder if there will be any potential signings " triallists " on show Wednesday evening.
