Arsenal at Stanley

If your'e not going to MK Dons a week on Saturday you have the chance to see possible Premiership stars of the future playing at Stanley. The FA Youth Cup against Burnley has been arranged at the FES.

Do you reckon Arsene will be looking for an overnight stay in Accy on his way to Middlesborough that weekend ?

Dave,

Fantastic question, no doubt with the KO time the team will be somewhere like the Dunkenhalgh. Where are the Arsenal 1st time that day??

More importantly with the Burnley 1st team at Wolves on TV @ 5ish that day, how many of your loyal fans will be at the FES??? With a fast car you could atcually see both games live!

Will many Burnley fans take the easy option; Youth team @ the FES and the 1st team in the local on SKY.

Arsenal's youth nearly won the Carling Cup last year, I wonder how many will still be eligable for this season's youth cup?? Any statos out there??

Arsenal are at Middlesboro on the Sunday so it's en-route

It's not gone down too well with the faithful regarding kick off time. Would have been better an hour or 2 earlier. Most of the coaches will have gone or be setting off at that time, although the away following will be down because of Sky.

Attendance wise difficult call, lots of people looking foward to the game, I'll guess at this stage 500/600, wouldn't have hesitated to say a 1,000 if the loyal support hadn't been called away

Dave,

Confused and correct me if I'm wrong:

Burnley are away at Wolves Ko 5-20ish. Need to be at ground (via coach @ say 4-30) I would estimate 1 hour 30 mins to Wolves, so that would mean 3pm set off from East Lancs.

Youth team game will finish at 2-45. Surely no issue?

I know you Clarets are loyal fans, but 3 weeks before Christmas you can all afford to travel to Wovles ( coach £15, ticket £20??) to watch a game that you can see in most pubs, clubs and houses for nowt!!! You are the most loyal fans!!!

A couple of the supporters clubs including Accy Clarets setting off at 12 noon. Apparently they need a pee stop and the toilets are in a pub

We can't afford fast cars, we need the money for the prices charged in the Championship

By the way did I mention I'm crap at guess the gate

Give us the old gree · 01-12-2007, 18:09

I know a number of Gooners who are coming to this game... may get of my backside for this, last seasons Arsenal Youth Team were Carling cup Runners up.

I think their will be a few on for this game. Will the Social club be open ??

Give us a gree to Pittimmons place

I know you were all looking forward to this match but it's now been called off.

Apparently the pitch is unplayable, can you not play home games a few days before we need the pitch in future please

Stanleymad · 07-12-2007, 12:32

At the rate we are playing our home games we might just well give it to you, our lot play better away these days

The pitch is a mud bath, I haven't seen it like that for ages. I wonder if letting the dingles use it has been too much.

JC was hoping that would be our advantage over the Dales as quoted in observer - clearly not

Only used it 4 times this season

Redash · 07-12-2007, 15:19

Still! I don't think it's helped.

Stanleymad · 07-12-2007, 15:21

Dont think the rain has helped either

Tho non of those fandangled pitch drainage systems as well

The arrangement ASFC have with Burnley is very financially beneficially ASFC.
