FA Cup next round
 

Cheltenham v Ebbsfleet play tonight to decide who we get to play next round
is there any way we can get commentary on this match

Re: FA Cup next round
 

Radio 5 Live are trying to cover all the cup games, but none in detail, in between the blether.

Re: FA Cup next round
 

the only one I found is Cheltenham town twitter feed

Re: FA Cup next round
 

Yes.

Re: FA Cup next round
 

half-time 0-0

Re: FA Cup next round
 

Cheltenham 1-0 up.

Re: FA Cup next round
 

2-0 Cheltenham accy v robins in next round then

Re: FA Cup next round
 

not the most mouth watering fixture but a winnable home game where i hope more will come than the colchester game.

Re: FA Cup next round
 

That matters not to me, its a winnable un and if so, chance of a big club in next round.

Re: FA Cup next round
 

Bet the Robins are thinking exactly the same!

Re: FA Cup next round
 

thats a knocking bet but reckon we will prevail.:)

Re: FA Cup next round
 

if we do not prevail it will be one of the cup shocks of the round.

Re: FA Cup next round
 

Only in Accy and Cheltenham.
I'd suggest there are six other matches that could produce a bigger shock.
It'll be a tough test and, from the brief highlights, Cheltenham have a little guy on the left-wing who looked a live wire.

Re: FA Cup next round
 

we have a tall lad at right back to neutralise him.

Re: FA Cup next round
 

only 6 days to the 2nd round match against the robins. when do tickets go on sale?

Re: FA Cup next round
 

I brought up last the the lack of promotion led to poor sales, and likely to be worse this time.

It is about time Stanley got someone to improve the commercial side.

Re: FA Cup next round
 

I thought Stanley had got someone in to improve the commercial side and, from what I've observed, there's been a huge improvement. Can't do everything instantly, but I think that criticism is misplaced, Chewbaca.

Re: FA Cup next round
 

True we only knew who we were playing last week,tickets have tobe printed etc,

Re: FA Cup next round
 

Anyone know the prices of tickets for this game ???

Re: FA Cup next round
 

suppose we might know when we turn up saturday afternoon. one of footballs best kept secrets as it is.

Re: FA Cup next round
 

Tickets could only be printed when we knew the opposition last Wednesday morning.

Neither club really wanted to discuss the finer details until they had played the replay.

We announced the prices on Social Media once they had been agreed and put them on sale on Thursday.

We've also been selling Rochdale away and Wycombe & Sunderland at home.

Not really too sure want people want ??

Prices are £15 adults, £10 concessions £5 12-17's and u12's £2

Re: FA Cup next round
 

not all do or want to do social media which is something i wish those who do would realise.

Re: FA Cup next round
 

so whats up wi putting prices and info on the site?

Re: FA Cup next round
 

they,ll be playing the match on social media next just to exclude us of a certain age and interests.

Re: FA Cup next round
 

?what social media; I've seen nothing on fishy, nothing on asfc twitter, nothing on accyweb, maybe it was on facebook, I wouldn't know, because I and a lot of fans would never sign up to or use

Re: FA Cup next round
 

People want an improvement on the Cup Attendance! i'm beginning to wonder if you do.

Re: FA Cup next round
 

I take on board your comments;

But really thought the information was "out there"?

Apologises IF it isn't; we are selling tickets somehow!!

I'll speak to the Media guru's tomorrow

Re: FA Cup next round
 

Many owd farts dont use much social media, i myself do but not a great deal. i know some that just look on thee fishy fer info.

Re: FA Cup next round
 

What is wrong with putting the details on the club's actual website?

I even looked on twitter, it takes ages and nothing there either.

Plenty of time to promote a curry night, and let us know it has sold out, but not promote the actual games which will take a lot more money.

BTW other clubs do print tickets and sell them before the opposition is known, especially so now the opposition have no input in the pricing in this competition.

The trick is writing Accrington Stanley v Ebbsfleet/Cheltenham. Even the football league have done this for play-off finals, printed them before the semis with all four teams on.

Re: FA Cup next round
 

Ive not seen any prices announced for this game anywhere on social media ??

Nor was I asking about Rochdale, Wycombe or Sunderland !

Re: FA Cup next round
 

If you shun twitter you are missing out on a feast of information and insight from Andy Holt.
It’s not something he could possibly achieve via the web site.
You also get better access to team news, coley’s post match interviews etc
I know it’s a horrible place at times, but just to follow Andy and the official club account is worth the couple of minutes to sign up.

Re: FA Cup next round
 

Have to say LordD is the reason i use it, hate the thing really.;)

Re: FA Cup next round
 

Sorry but I think it is a great pity that the "feast of information" and "insight" cannot be shared more widely

My simple mind asks "Why not?" Surely the "feast of information" is limited by the number of characters available on twitter. The "feast" (and "insight") could be much greater without such an arbitrary limit.

Re: FA Cup next round
 

Wishful thinking Revived Red. Bit like hoping for the mining industry to return.

Re: FA Cup next round
 

Re: FA Cup next round
 

Why so? You think the mines will return, or that Andy Holt is suddenly going to start writing web pages?

Re: FA Cup next round
 

Good clubs have good websites, and we will be lucky to get 1100 on Saturday at this rate as fans unaware they are on sale, and if you wait until the day for sales lots drop out if it is cold etc like v Colchester.

Twitter like JANET mail, Myspace and Ask Jeeves will surely be around for a long time.

Re: FA Cup next round
 

I would argue that Andy Holt’s use of twitter is a real selling point for the club. Giving out shirts to kids is a nice gesture, but is magnified by social media. His recent publication of matchday P&Ls are interesting but far more interesting to see the stir they caused on Twitter. Ditto giving all the Wycombe fans free hot dog and hot drink tonight and his rants about the EFL.

I agree ticket sales should be on the website, just that there’s not a cat in hells chance all the aforementioned stuff will be or should be on there.

fans know it will not be a sell out on saturday so what is the real need to purchase em in advance. prices and availabilty of purchase should have been published earlier for those who cannot wait.

Re: FA Cup next round
 

Re: FA Cup next round
 

[QUOTE=monkey hanger;1219935]
It could save time, but that isn't the issue. Advance sales increase the attendance, so the club being blase about promotion of the tickets is just ****ing money away in my opinion.

Stanley may be in the black due player transfers, but they should be trying to maximise sales for all games.

Re: FA Cup next round
 

Revived Red - it’s more than 280 characters. He can bang out, say, 5 tweets in a row on a certain subject. For example, if he’s putting across an argument about iFollow (the live streaming service). Maybe he’s sat on a train doing it. People (who could be fans of any club with an interest in the subject) will immediately respond to any of the points made, furthering more debate. The end result is really informative.

That just doesn’t work on a website as well. If it did, people would be using websites more. Websites work well for other things of course. And yes, announcing ticket prices is one of them.

The flip side, of course, is the sort of unsavoury incident where a Burnley fan/journalist at an Accy Luton match mistakenly accused their fans of racist chanting. The nasty ramifications of which still rumble on.

Re: FA Cup next round
 

Re: FA Cup next round
 

Last season we had an embarrassing FA Cup exit and then won the league.
Perhaps our recent slump means we'll thrash Cheltenham & draw Liverpool at home.
Prepare for re-runs of the milk advert!
:D:D:D:D

Re: FA Cup next round
 

I would prefare Liverpool away.

Re: FA Cup next round
 

What, and give up the jackpot TV money?
Plus, dem scousers would be denied our famous hospitality.
Allow them a draw at our place, then thrash em' in the replay.
You know it makes sense!
:D:D:D

Re: FA Cup next round
 

By issuing 100 plus tweets ! Andy ain't shy that's one thing.

Re: FA Cup next round
 

lets get through against cheltenham first before anyone mentions the next round as your backside can really be bitten.

Re: FA Cup next round
 

Come on my simian friend, let's think positively.
Only a bit of humorous banter to lighten the atmosphere & get away from the interminable threads about the pros & cons of the bleeding twitersphere.
On the subject in question, I think we've had our backside bitten once too often lately, so looking forward to giving the Robins a damn good thrashing.

Re: FA Cup next round
 

I hope that we start like we did against Barnsley and Wycombe and then keep it going for 90 minutes.

Re: FA Cup next round
 

As marvellous an option as it is Stiffers old boy, it'd be somewhat awkward for me! :)

Re: FA Cup next round
 

Not that anyone is interested, of course, but some really great tweets from Andy Holt today about the madness of owning football clubs.

(Anyone know a good papyrus maker so that they may be transcribed with pen and ink and pinned on the wall of Accy Town Hall for the luddites amongst us to read?)

Re: FA Cup next round
 

For anyone eagerly awaiting Tuesday nights FA Cup 3rd round draw?
ACCRINGTON STANLEY - ball 62
Either 22, 23 or 24 would do nicely thank you Santa.

Re: FA Cup next round
 

its Mon 7.30 BBC 1 next draw

Re: FA Cup next round
 

If you wait til Tuesday, you'll have missed it mate :)

Re: FA Cup next round
 

Thanks for that Lord stifflip, number62 I'll never forget number 62 I'll never forget.

Re: FA Cup next round
 

I'm hoping we get a minnow, Woking at home would be nice. I would like to see us go deep into this comp picking up the prize money along the way before we draw Man U in quarters away then Liverpool in semis.

Re: FA Cup next round
 

Glad to see your paying attention Ferret

Re: FA Cup next round
 

.....and in the final, John?

Re: FA Cup next round
 

Aslong as ot aint Guiseley.:eek:

Ipswich!!! :)

Home to Ipswich Kaydens Lot

Is it just me who's not too impressed? :rolleyes:

Can't grumble really championship side new to Stanley hopefully a full house and a great chance to progress to Rd 4!!

Re: FA Cup next round
 

Not much of a money spinner unless we win which we can do as it is a winnable tie.

Re: FA Cup next round
 

Let's hope we know how to nullify him!!

Re: FA Cup next round
 

I'm quite happy with that its home and winnable also reckon another big gate fer us.

Re: FA Cup next round
 

An Ipswich fan posted on Facebook, congratulating us on reaching the 4th round - not much confidence in their camp then . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: FA Cup next round
 

No need to nullify the subs bench ...........

Re: FA Cup next round
 

A great draw. They are crap, focused on avoiding relegation. I’d say we are favourites for round 4.
It would take a big slice of fortune but we could make the last 8 with the luck of the draw. Surely that’s better than playing Man Utd reserves?

Re: FA Cup next round
 

Give me a struggling Championship side any day to a team from league 1 or 2.
As for the benefits of drawing a minnow - well we all know what happened last year.
Not so long ago we'd have thought this a plum tie, now some are disappointed.
This is an excellent, winnable & more importantly a home tie.
The bigger they come, the harder they fall!
Bet Jurgen Klopp is relieved he's avoided Accrington Stanley away.

Re: FA Cup next round
 

I wouldn't say we are favourites but have a damn good 50-50 chance of progress

Re: FA Cup next round
 

Seeing how he's still our player will Stanley allow Donacien play to against us and be cup tied incase we recall him if needed??

Re: FA Cup next round
 

Another poor tie in my opinion.....

Re: FA Cup next round
 

Very interesting.

Re: FA Cup next round
 

Makes a hash of the fixtures too - it means Gillingham away will now be a midweek game

Re: FA Cup next round
 

There is no re-call, he gets his work permit and goes permanently or if he doesn't...


Not a bad draw, should get 2.5k plus, and at least we avoided the nasty premier league glory teams. Outside chance of TV money and 50% chance of £135k prize money.

Re: FA Cup next round
 

Does it matter?...The only thing to worry about at Cup Final time is 'Does the engraver know how to spell 'Accrington Stanley'?'
...Normally he needs only to look at the previous names on it to get the spelling right.

Re: FA Cup next round
 

it could have been much worse it could have been ipswich away.

Re: FA Cup next round
 

slow down everyone , we not there yet. Lets not count are chickens yet . Yes this is do able , its all on the day . They just need our support behind them and Coleman to choose the right team.

Re: FA Cup next round
 

And use sensible tactics.:rolleyes:
