Fgr
 

Bit early for this but just noticed on the Fishy site that Stanley fans will only be offered standing at FGR.
Fortunately that's not a problem for me, at the moment, but how is this not discrimination against away fans? What about those who cannot stand for 2 hours?
The biggest joke is this bunch of self-proclaimed morally superior Eco-warriors claim in their "mission statement" (where they aiming, the moon?) they respect the disabled and away fans.
Obviously their acronym also stands for Fans Get Rubbished.

To be honest i wouldn't go to the end of my street, if their ground was yon, sod the self righteous gits.:rolleyes:

Re: Fgr
 

This must be some kind of mis-steak ? Not gonna mince my words on this issue, I've got a real Beef about it. (They would prefer to call it cheesed-off)

Well I ain't standing for it, I'm gonna stand up and be counted and boycott it.

Re: Fgr
 

Good on yer Si, its a ground i aint been too, but i certainly will not go near the place.

Re: Fgr
 

Always had a soft spot for Forest Green when we were in the conference, got treated really well down even buying beers for Ange and myself, then Swampy got involved and now they can stick their veggie burgers where the sun don't shine!

Re: Fgr
 

Presumably I've got this wrong, and there are some seats at the Coppice end of the Cowshed now, but I thought we'd only ever offered standing to away fans? I'm sure that's the way it was in the first season at least, so not sure we've got room to moan on this one. I've just searched fishy and can't find any references to what we offer visitors :confused:, except for a note about a share of wheelchair spaces in the main stand.

And I'm sure there'll be plenty of room to sit on the terraces until the game starts ....... :rolleyes:

Re: Fgr
 

Forest Green have been given a year's exemption whilst building work goes on.
If you need to sit, please mention to Jess when buying your ticket at Stanley.

Re: Fgr
 

been there once when it was normal but still haven,t forgot the walk up the hill from the village. makes the walk from the town to the wham like a walk on blackpool prom. will not be going back.

Re: Fgr
 

We need to be careful on this one folks; "people in glass houses"!!

When ASFC were promoted to the (E)FL we used every exemption on given to regulations there was on offer; seats, away facilities, dressing rooms and floodlights.

New clubs are allowed time to bring their grounds up to full EFL standards.

At first FGR were offering "on line" sales only to ASFC with un-covered standing available.

Thanks to Jess's good work in conjunction with the Customer Services Ladies at the EFL we've now got tickets to sell at Accy; plus a very small number of seats in with the home fans.

Jess and our SLO ( Robert) will do their very best to allocate these seats to those that need them most.

According to the EFL we've got a good deal from FGR as other clubs haven't got the same things we've been given. :)

Re: Fgr
 

Stanley had no seating at all not so long ago, and no one minded.

£16 in advance aint bad these days - will probably be 80 go at a guess.

Re: Fgr
 

Glad to hear someone (Jess?) has done something to sort things for those few Stanley fans who can't stand, and need to be in the stand. ;)

Re: Fgr
 

Come on fellas, you can get over this.

Re: Fgr
 

I'm over it, as I said it doesn't affect me. But the way it was shown on the Fishy site, and until Jess acted and Mr.T posted on here, any Stanley supporter who cannot stand would have had to conclude they were being excluded from the game.
Basic message is don't communicate only half a message.

Re: Fgr
 

Think I'll go, years since I've been to Forest Green - wonder if i have a couple of pork pies in me handbag, would they be confiscated on the way in if I got searched? :)

Re: Fgr
 

If they are it'll because the stewards want to eat them.;)

Re: Fgr
 

There's a link on Stanley's site for those who want tickets for FGR but can't pick them up at the Wham. Follow it through and it takes you here:
https://inhouse.forestgreenroversfc.com/VenueManagement/asp/selectArea.asp?bookEvent=true&eventID={74721709-FD31-487B-BD9A-DF7F39540310**&homeArea=away

It allows you to print off your own ticket without additional charges and is available until 14:30 tomorrow. Away supporters are in the West Stand.

Re: Fgr
 

Anyone know if this is being streamed anywhere?

Re: Fgr
 

Probably depend if thats Eco Friendly?:D

Re: Fgr
 

Looking at the forecast there'll be plenty streaming from t' Sky

Re: Fgr
 

Brolley packed! :rolleyes:

Re: Fgr
 

I notice mr Edwards gets a run out today. Good luck to the lad, he's having to be patient for his chance.

Re: Fgr
 

Quite like that lad, he aint shoved off the ball easily.

Re: Fgr
 

Hope Kayden gets oer his injury soon, Notts County are now 3 down with only 25 mins or so to go, so 3Pts will be great if we can get em.

Re: Fgr
 

One change to the Stanley team today kayden our injured

Champam, donacien, rawson, Hughes, thorniley, conneely, Nolan, Clark, McConville, kee, Edwards

Re: Fgr
 

Morecambe would do a massive Faver by drawing or winning, while 3pts would put us 2nd :)

Re: Fgr
 

Evertons on the bench, which is great news, he should be back for the real tough games we got.:) not meaning F.G. are easy, but next 3 games are all top seven teams.

Re: Fgr
 

Subs. Wolland (GK), Richards-Everton, Brown, Johnson, Sousa, McLeod, Wilks.

Re: Fgr
 

Sub Edwards off Brown on 0-0

Re: Fgr
 

Gone to 4-3-3

Re: Fgr
 

That could win the game fer us hopefully.

Re: Fgr
 

Goalllll 0-1 Conneely

Re: Fgr
 

0-1 conneely great stuff.

Re: Fgr
 

Come on Stanley last 15 minutes.

Re: Fgr
 

F.G. just hit the crossbar, stuff like that always happens when yer struggling.

Re: Fgr
 

Nearly there...

Re: Fgr
 

Yesssss... onya STANLEY.

Re: Fgr
 

3 points well done Reds 3rd place.

Re: Fgr
 

Done It another good away win, anyone know have we ever had 23 pts in september in the league? i cant recall.:) I reckon the change to 4-3-3 did the trick.

Re: Fgr
 

190 Away fans. That's a good turn out isn't it?

Sadly I was not among them. This afternoon I have mostly been watching people eat meatballs in Ikea (Glasgow).

Sounds like it might have been another victory without exactly tearing the opposition apart and another clean sheet for Chappers. ....looking forward to the thoughts of King John.

Re: Fgr
 

190 down yon is a cracking following fer us imho, well done.

Re: Fgr
 

Beltin weekend Acci and Wigan doing the business,few beers it is !!����

Re: Fgr
 

This must be the new Stanley game plan - perform under par and come away with 3 points! FGR fans must be wondering what they have to do to get a point in this League.
It was yet another tough battle for the Reds against pretty active opponents who closed players down and played lots of neat one-two passing but just couldn't convert all their possession into goals. Stanley, on the other hand, bagged their goal from one of the few chances they made.
Bringing on Scott Brown made the difference and he gave Stanley a bit more bite when and where they needed it. Billy Kee really battled and took a battering (usually from behind) but how we all missed his mate, KJ. Good defensive performance from the back four against lively forwards, and pleased to see Mr.Chapman keep a clean sheet. Real shift put in down the right wing by Jordan Clark, he was up against a very strong and fast full back (no17) but he kept plugging away and eventually saw his marker subbed.
Well done to the lot of them.

Highlights (well, two Stanley attacks):

Re: Fgr
 

Can't add much more to what Mr.Exile has said (lovely to meet you & Mrs.Exile today) but I think I must've watched a different game to whoever wrote the match report on the fishy site, they describe our goal as hitting the post before rolling along the line & into the back of the net?? I thought must have remembered it wrong but no, I've just watched channel 5's goal rush & as I thought the ball went straight in the back of the net like a rocket after leaving Seamus' boot - small detail maybe but had me confused for a while :confused:

Re: Fgr
 

Following the game courtesy of the BBC sport app, I was beginning to wonder how we could possibly win it?
FGR's possession ratio remained stubbornly above 60% throughout the game.
We seemed to be conceding fouls almost every other minute in the first half & they seemed close to scoring too many times.
Even after Conneely's goal in the 56th minute, I was expecting an equaliser at any moment.
We all know you can't always rely on stats to judge a game, but after reading Exile's excellent report, I think on this occasion they appear to have been a fair reflection of the game.
Last year rock-bottom Newport spoiled our party when we expected a walk-over.
Perhaps the big difference this year is that, despite all the cold hard evidence to the contrary - WE WON!
Our next few games are certainly tough one's, but no tougher than todays!
Bring em on!

Re: Fgr
 

I think you need to have another look :D For me, the telly confirmed what I remembered, i.e. it hit the foot of the right hand post and finished up in the left hand corner. Sorry .... :)

Re: Fgr
 

Well, either my glasses or my telly (or both) are wonky :) Nay mind, at the end of the day however it went in that goal won us the points, bring on Luton!

Re: Fgr
 

To be honest,who give a stuff what the stats say? how many attempts etc etc, how many times has stuff like that happened to Stanley oer the years?

Re: Fgr
 

From a personal point of view, I will take ground out 1-0 wins for the rest of the season. Stats mean diddly squat, the only stat that matters is the one that says Accy scored more goals than the opposition. Keep it up lads. Would have liked to have gone yesterday, but other matters prevailed. And no Cashy, I cannot remember Stanley ever having 23 points at the end of September, though no doubt someone is trawling the stats as i type.

Re: Fgr
 

we had 20 in 2012/13

Re: Fgr
 

Was that really September? By my records (which don't show dates) that was after 14 games, and we've only played 11 this time. We're 4 points better off then ever before at this stage. Next best was 15/16, when we had 19 after 11, won the 12th and lost the next two, so only had 22 after 14.

Re: Fgr
 

Credit to the bringer of three promotions today, Coley got it bang on. Many perceived Edwards off for Brown as a negative move but his rough and tumble gave us a foothold in midfield.

Smash and grab job. Haven't played anywhere near our heights last three games yet still yielded seven points. Sign of a top aide.

Also climbing that hill from the pub has fulfilled my yearly quota of cardio vascular exercise. Dill Hall on steroids!

Re: Fgr
 

Wasn't there but i saw the substitution as a good tactical move, switching to 4-3-3,

Re: Fgr
 

I always like to hear what Professor Coleman has to say about the game, particularly those I've seen, and appreciate them being put on the Fishy site.
But yesterday's post match interview plumbed new depths for those without the hearing of an owl.
There have been quite a few recently when Coley just cannot be heard, and it would be nice if the mic was shoved a bit closer. But yesterday's sounded like it was held in a children's nursery that was still under construction.

Re: Fgr
 

Got to agree there.
I may be a bit mutt & Jeff, but I too find it impossible to hear the words of wisdom from the Proff.
Strange one really, as the interviewer's voice is crystal clear, as are the young kids running riot 40 yards away in the stand.
It must be something to do with the low register of Coley's scouse voice.
Perhaps they can add subtitles for the hard of hearing?
:confused:

Re: Fgr
 

Don't think most folk will be able to read Scouse

Re: Fgr
 

I use my phone to watch videos and cant hear jc through the speakers ... he's audible through headphones though as theyas they must detect his particular vocal range.

Re: Fgr
 

Just watched the goal atFGR and have to agree with your opinion of the goal, but that is only if down south you call the foot of the post that bit halfway between the ground and the crossbar.
