Pre Season Friendlies
 

4 July Away Clitheroe
24 July Away Skelmersdale United

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

Skem plus others are u23's games

with Covid restrictions, despite what Boris wants us to "believe" most PSF will be behind closed doors (BCD)

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

Can anyone tell me what difference does watching different age groups have to do with potential spread of Covid.

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

possibly its about the extra revenue thats needed to stage a game now. extra people involved for testing temperatures, forms for fans to fill in, track and trace etc. just for a friendly game. went to the stockport v pools game the other week and the do,s and don,t spoilt the day out.

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

There's a post from the club on Facebook regarding tickets for the friendly game at Clitheroe although having read it, it sounds like it's home fans only?

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

Also no drinks or food available on the the day it could be a hot day not very good especially if you have kids in tow not sure about home fans only but I,ll be giving it a miss too much hassle no disrespect but for a under 23,s game no thanks.

[QUOTE=andyd;1254783]Also no drinks or food available on the the day it could be a hot day not very good especially if you have kids in tow

they all seem to be going down that line. surely it cannot be healthy on a hot day with the possibility of being in the ground 3 hours with the insistance of clubs staggering arrival times without extra liquid in you. fine for them who bring there own stuff like i do but i,ve forgot more than once doing this.

Re: Pre Season Friendlies

Re: Pre Season Friendlies

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

Bought my ticket online. Albeit only a friendly, really looking forward to seeing the lads in action.

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

bought mine also online.:)

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

Clitheroe are expecting Stanley's first team to turn up has arranged apparently 🙂I would thick the pricing of the game reflect's the expectation of this 🙂

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

That is already subject to challenge if it isn't removed completely on July 21st.

But as food vans are now able to trade without restrictions they could just park a couple of them in the ground.

But really Boris has no choice but to lift all the restrictions as now no matter how high the infection rates go without the serious illness, hospital admissions and deaths support for keeping them is really now down to just the loony fringe who.ve kept themselves locked away since day one.

there were many hypochondriacs about before the virus was ever heard about. they mainly went about their lives unseen apart from in the doctors surguries. now they have become louder with another minority we have to listen to.

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

Joe Hardy one of the trialists.

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

Hope Joe's injury problems are behind him.

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

Tommy Leigh one of the trialists just don't know the third one.

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

did proccys nephew play 1st half or second? was a fair haired number 15 played first and another one played second half didnt recognise either?

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

I thought he was as good as signed up weeks ago.

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

He was in the first half line up Cashy

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

😯 Dean Winnard lined up for Clitheroe today 🙂

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

Think the third trialist was Liam Coyle.

Re: Pre Season Friendlies

Re: Pre Season Friendlies

Re: Pre Season Friendlies

Re: Pre Season Friendlies

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

Well, we beat Hibs 1-0, with Joe Pritchard scoring with only four minutes left:

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

GOT my ticket.:)

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

Does anyone know which seated areas are going to be in use today please, can't imagine the Jack Barrett will be (at least not without a hard hat) asking for my mum as she'd need to know before she decides whether she can go - thanks

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

thought we were the better side today couldnt tell Preston were an higher division, well done lads.anyone know what the gate was?

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

Really enjoyable day, thought Stanley more than matched their Championship opponents. First half was pretty even, without too many clear cut chances. But what I really enjoyed was the way the young lads who came on in the second half really had a go at Preston. They were eager for the ball, chased down everything and put Preston under pressure for the last fifteen or so minutes. Very impressed with Tommy Leigh - he won every header and his long throw-ins caused havoc. Also the ‘trialist’ on the left wing, who laid on the goal, was excellent.
Well done to the lot of them.

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

Unfortunately couldn't be there today sounds like we were the better side even though it's only a friendly we know John wants to win everything, the trialist you mentioned supposed to be signing on a permanent deal this week. Looking like as long as nobody leaves this is probably the strongest squad assembled ever at Stanley with big lads in there and young good lads eager for a starting point, looking hopefully as well as not relying on too many loaners.

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

Its a strange one that.
Josh Woods and his club announced it on 17 July.

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

Thought you didn't bother with research I also have seen that snippet of info, maybe the contract hasn't officially been signed yet I,ll dig a bit deeper 👍

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

we all said that today andy,confident its the strongest squad.

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

Josh Woods not the trialist who played yesterday vs Preston.

U23s beat Skelmersdale 1-0.

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

Well, whoever he is, I thought he made a fantastic difference down the left wing.

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

Agreed, looked exciting and always wanted the ball.

Has a small amount of experience playing league football, couple of starts and some sub appearances too. Could be a shrewd signing.

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

Seeing it on twitter through my feed is hardly research ……….

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

didn,t see any of these games but by all accounts the players seem to be playing well and winning where the latter is not that important in a friendly but a bonus. everything does seem to be encouraging for the start of the season. at this stage of some seasons we were still worried about players leaving and not having replacements till the last week before kick off.

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

Thought somebody would have mentioned Coleys' comments about Dion in the interview yesterday??

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

The Lancashire Post named him as Jack Nolan:

https://www.lep.co.uk/sport/football...-to-do-3322386


Walsall player?

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

If it was Jack Nolan Walsall paid Reading an undisclosed fee for him like Josh said 2 or 3 games and a few bench appearance,s, then released this summer.

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

if so his pedigree is far better than the ones windass and crooks had before they were signed plus colby bishop and charles for that matter.

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

Anyone know the crowd numbers for Saturday's friendly against PNE? And how did the new fanzone tent work. Was it a good experience?

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

i asked on another thread but no-one answered.:)about the gate, the fanzone looked busy to me.my neighbour and wife stopped in it after the game said it was good,

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

At a guess I reckon about 1250

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

1-0 up already after about 2 minutes at Warrington Mumbongo the scorer.

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

2-0 Trialist A scores.

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

Result 2-0 win for Stanley.

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

Anyone know if you can pay on the day/gate tomorrow?

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

I'm almost certain you can. Andy Holt has told Bradford fans you can we he was asked on Twitter...

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

That's great! Thank you.

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

i know yeh can buy a ticket at the shop.before the game

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

Had a ticket but couldn't make it seems like I missed nought will be an interesting post match interview with Coley.

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

First Half we were shocking absolutely useless expected a few subs for second half but as usual it was 20 mins before the end some came on dont care what anyone says subs are our managers weakness, second half we were much better which did not shock me the lads were late coming out after what i assume was the hair dryer.

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

Must admit to expecting a lot more from Stanley when so close to the new season start. Lets hope they shape up next Saturday when it matters.

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

I agree Cashy Coleys Achilles heel has been subs, could understand it a bit when the bench was inexperienced and we had some poor squads. Now though with all the progress under Andy Holt on and off the field less of a problem and before anyone says we are having a dig at Coleman today was only a friendly and he has done a fantastic job.

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

On a brighter note today's game attracted an attendance of 1097 which includes 305 city fans 🙂

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

Very poor first half and awful defending for both goals. Second half was better with more urgency in the play. Nobody seemed to be able to handle Angol early on.

Perhaps if Dion had buried his headed chance in the second half, things might have been different? However, Bradford deserved the win.

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

if we have any problems pre season friendly games are the time to have them. time to sort things out before what really matters, next saturday onwards. never know why fans get either misty eyed or depressed about results in pre season games.

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

Your right friendly,s are a fitness and minutes in legs excercises Coleman always wants to win so does everyone, but they are friendly,s and a lot of fans including a lot I know personally won't go near them.

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

well i for one do not. last one i saw was some scottish club we played a few seasons ago and thats because i was nosy on what the opposition would be like.

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

i go i like to see the new signings and form a view.

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

Cashy, was Trialist A yesterday the same one that laid on the cross for Pritchard’s goal against PNE?

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

Looking at the photo gallery of the game it's Jack Nolan yes the same lad.

Re: Pre Season Friendlies
 

He his on today's photo of the squad for the season expected to sign sometime this week.
