Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

. . . . . . Our last away day in league 2, new ground for me to tick off & the sun's shining to boot!!
Here's to a brilliant day out & a massive Stanley party :theband:
Let's sign off our days in league 2 in style :D

P.s.When do next season's fixtures come out again?? Can't wait :)

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

Have a great day Di,hope we sign off with a good result.:)

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

usually middle of june. looking forward to the stadium of blight that day.

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

From the chairman on social media

And btw, I’ve told John Coleman, Jimmy Bell and John Doolan, THEY AINT GOING ANYWHERE unless the @LFC job comes up.

That’s where I stand on that issue. There will be no agreement from me for another club to “talk to them” we are building the club.

#justsaying

In return, if we have the odd **** run I will stand by them too. Loyalty has to work both ways.

So now we all know the clubs position.

Come on Stanley!!

#Champions

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

Wonder if any of the fringe lads get a run today ? I suspect not knowing Coley

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

I doubt they would want to go back to Ireland and manage Limerick, but if they did there are standard compensation rules and the majority share holder could not stop them.

I assume a pay increase would be/ has been given to mitigate the threat of suitors?

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

21st June with first match on 4th August :)

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

Oooo!! Excited already :)

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

Nolan in for Brown, otherwise no change.

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

Phewwww that was close 50th Wedding anniversary on the 3rd don't think there would have been 51st if the EFL had got the days wrong.

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

1-0 swindon

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

#$%&#*#%*%##**%#*%# . 0-2

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

..or 2-0 :mad:

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

WTF ?? 3-0 !!!! down

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

You had to fear it was gonna happen. Wouldve liked to have seen a few changes made to freshen it up and give the fringe players a reward. The hard work has been done and it must be hard to get one last, meaningless, 90 minutes out of tired legs

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

Agreed

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

That’s Coley for you. I’d have played all the fringe players
Maxted Big Ben the lot ...... they have things to prove first eleven have nothing to prove.

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

I'ld be pooing my pants right this minute if I was a Morecambe fan.

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

Red cards!! They really Dunne it.

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

Bummer :(

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

Crewe played a team of Academy players, all of them with at least one first team game on their CV.

A positive from today is that the Shrimps managed to hold on for a draw at Coventry and preserve their League status. Coventry's second-biggest crowd of the season! Well done to 'em.

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

Disappointing but can't be too down after what the lads have done this season - they looked jiggered, bless 'em - Kidderminster all over again at end of conference winning season.
Still a good day out & our lot, as usual barely stopped singing in stark contrast to the Swindon fans who didn't have a chant between 'em

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

The fact they looked jiggered, yet the bench warmers didn't start, dont say a right lot about good tactics in my book. crewe played theres today and won.

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

Stanley fans were fantastic today. Atmosphere just before kick off was electric with Dave Burgess flaunting the L2 trophy.
Stanley started like champions but once Swindon scored, they seemed to deflate. And after Swindon scored two more, they ended like chumpians.
Combination of some very lackadaisical defending, nothing going right for Stanley, and, as Professor Coleman said, Swindon converting their few chances.
Their No.30 rightly MoM as he caused trouble all over the pitch. Wonder if he fancies playing for a League 1 team?

Looking at the shirt numbers of the Swindon team (most of 'em seemed be 30 plus) I thought they must be fringe players! If they were they certainly gave Stanley a haircut today.

Disappointing end to a brilliant and memorable season. But, heh, the records will still show Stanley as champions.

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

A bit rich Coley having a go at the lads after the game though ....... he should have freshened everything up. He can be obstinate at times.

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

Looking at the table, it would seem obstinate works .... :D

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

Have to agree with others posts, why not play the likes of Maxted, Big Ben, Rodgers, Williams, etc etc ??? Give them a run out with fresh legs on a hot day, with nothing to lose ??

A very strange decision for me.

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

Disagree, i fail to see how obstinacy encourages a young player to stay. no-ones knocking his achievements, but its obvious to me why a big club aint come a knocking fer J.C. despite all the miracles he got at Stanley.

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

Two weeks ago all three EFL champions went away and won 0-4. This weekend two of them lost 3-0!
Only Wigan spoilt the symmetry and, guess what, they needed to win yesterday to ensure they were champions!
C'est la football.

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

No ones talking about the games up to securing promotion then the Championship - stop distorting things.
The starting 11 were spent forces even a numpty like me could see that going into this game.
Maxted Big Ben Sousa Zanzala should have started minimum.

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

That :D emoticon passed you by, then? Try this one :rolleyes:

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

I hate 'emoticons', what's up with the good old English language when you need to express yourself?

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

WTF is an emoticon ? I prefer to express my views in dialogue.

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

:bangh8:

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

at the end of the day would it have really matted if these lads got a game. once we were champions the season was over.

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

You have to think forward. What message does it give to fringe players ?

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

Reckon I’d have let all the lads who have waited patiently for months have their reward yesterday.

By my reckoning 80 points would have won us promotion. Who’d have thought it? (Smiley face emoticon for Twenty Eight).

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

Depends on results as some other teams would have got points. N County lost 5 and Exeter lost 2 to us.

Those wanting to get promotion to the Championship would have to weigh it up against the all seater stadium and then not allowed standing ever again at the Crown if there is a relegation.

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

GOod point Chewbacca! Although my assumptions were always based on the teams below us being unable to average more than 2 points a game whoever the opposition was.
If you looked at individual matches retrospectively and say ‘what if this, what if that’ then you could come up with any scenario of your choosing.
Bottom line is that the teams chasing us were simply not good enough, as predicted - and the results showed that.

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

Only on Accy web could Coleman get stick after the season we’ve had

And that ladies and gents is why no one posts on here anymore

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

81 actually grinning emoticon added.

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

I think “giving him stick” is a little over the top description.
He’s the gaffer he makes the calls everyone gets that but sites like this shouldn’t be about self gratification all the time but honest debate.
I’ve had my ups and downs on here - more downs than ups - but that’s opinions for you.

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

Bullshine jase, why did people stop posting on the Ultras forum long ago?:rolleyes:

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

we are football and stanley fans and like those at every club in the country we will never agree on everything. if manchester city had won every competition they entered this season there would be still fans in dissagreement on some issues even if its only the cost of pies.

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

Thats a racing cert, but very hard fer some to even grasp.

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

I’m sure everyone grasps that more a case of amazement that after arguably the greatest feat of footballl management in the UK he gets stick AFTER the event for picking the side that won the title.

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

Sorry meant to post this much earlier

No idea, but haven't checked if Crewe's team ticked boxes.

Following issues last year; new rules voted in last year by EFL.

From late March ALL teams must have on every team sheet 10 outfield players who were on previous games team sheet.
Ie no playing the U18's and no mass changes to assist the opposition.

Ie : IF Cov's manager didn't like Barnet; he could play the Youth Team v Morecambe; sure there are other better examples.

Coley could have made a few changes; but not the numbers that some people were asking for.

Surprised EFL haven't got this out into the public domain more.

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

The EFL have much more important things to worry about - like who buys the burgers;)

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

Presumably that includes the subs used or otherwise? In theory he could have made 8 changes?

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

think it should be more to do with the game that was taking place. if there is nothing on the result of the game and it did not effect promotion or relegation than it would not really matter what side is put out by any side.

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

Just clocked the comment a page back about Accyweb giving Coley stick. I see it on twitter every now and again.

It seems a bit weird to have a go at a forum in this way. A public forum is, by nature, an ever changing collection of views and people, each laying out their opinions and rationale. I'm not sure how you can actually dislike that. I suppose people might pick out the bits they dislike (eg, "I think coley blundered by picking Smithers-Jones at right back today") and assume everyone hates Coleman?

I feel the same way about "What's wrong with Accrington, why don't they support the club more?" How can you get angry at a community of 35,000 diverse people?

I know the demographic on twitter tends to be younger and more upbeat and it's bloody marvellous for it, but I don't see what the problem with a place where it's a bit more critical from time to time.

Interesting.

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

Myself i regard it as just being "Thick" i see no problem at all with someone disagreeing, they are entitled too, its their opinion, but that dont suit some, if it aint their view, then they sulk like kids.

Re: Well, here it is . . . . . .
 

Yes includes outfield subs, but not keepers, so I think 6 changes??
