don,t think it will be but it will be used as a reason for locals not to attend. same night or wife won,t let me out two nights a week or accy prices too high.

Good draw against a good club.
They're at Burnley on the Saturday. Play it Monday night (to avoid the East Lancs derby) and they'll be tempted to stay two nights at the Travelodge. That should do for 'em.:rolleyes:

Got everything crossed we play any night but Tuesday - come on football gods, be nice please :)

Looking at the other fixtures, ours must be odds-on for televised coverage, which usually means moving the game to suit Sky.
David v Goliath
League 2 v Premiership
History & romance of two founder members coming together after 130 odd years.
(Stuff the pedants who disagree about that! Stanley still represents our town, just as the original Accrington FC did.)
This is one badge I'll be proudly adding to me bobble hat!
PS. For the record, we beat them 2-1 at home & drew 2-2 at their place in the inaugural 1888-89 season

Tuesday 22 Aug the match sorry Di.

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

Yeah, just seen it - can't be helped, family come first - suppose it could still be on the telly??

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

Grimsby v Derby on telly. Rovers v Burnley the next night. Surely only a biblical plague of frogs will keep the good folk of Accy away from The Wham and a chance to see Stanley take on a Premier League squad at League 2 prices. :rolleyes:

Well fer what our ground holds exile if they dont sell out its a disgrace on the good people.;)

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

Strange that. Grimsby v Derby is a round one tie.

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

I'm sure you're right, MikeA, but it still says Grimsby on Live-FootballOnTV.com website. So much for websites.:rolleyes:

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

It seems Grimsby v Derby is on Sky Go, whatever that is.

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

I see Gareth Barry's signed for the Baggies today, the lengths some players will go to for the chance to play against Stanley :)
