If the mud was below his knees there is possibly a chance of playing :D

I reckon it must be about 50/50. Depends how dry it stays in the morning and how late they leave the decision. Difficult one if they take in to account the distance the away fans have to travel.
 
Covers are on over Accy end 18 yard box, Buzzer said 50/50 will defo depend on weather overnight but forecast reasonable for tomorrow, keep everything crossed.
 
Get a portable genny and ask all the female fans to bring along their hair driers to do the job. They should be perfect for the job.

Hope it does go ahead though i cant be there I will find a way to listen to it. :D
 
I must admit to part of me hoping (not too much though) that tomorrows game is called off........for purely selfish reasons, as I cant be there :( due to prior arrangements. Also how good would it be to have our first game as the New and improved ASFC against Bury whose fans have done so much to help our survival?..................I can make the Bury game lol :).

If it does go ahead tho, Im pretty sure Im gonna miss a cracking game/atmosphere.............hope y'all enjoy yourselves!!
 
if game gose head more chance bury game being off (uk) cutting up more rain monday / tues day sorry pal
 
Weather is not looking good at the moment,it may be called off. Must be an early inspection to save the Salisbury fans a wasted journey
 
I don't know what time it started, but it's been hammering it down since 4am. If the chances of it being on were only 50/50 yesterday, then I can't see much hope for the game today.

Pitch news
The pitch at the Crown Ground is bearing up well ahead of this afternoon's match against Salisbury City.

There has been some overnight rain in Accrington though the pitch drainage has coped well, there is no official pitch inspection planned at this stage and as long as there are no torrential downpours ahead of kick off the game will go ahead as planned at 3pm.





Remembrance
Saturday 7th Nov 2009

Minute silence and collection
Please note that there will be a minute silence ahead of this afternoon's game against Salisbury City, to mark the annual act of remembrance for those who have given their lives in the service of their country.

At this time the club also remembers those dear to the club who we have lost recently, particularly including former player Alex Hamilton who was with Accrington Stanley at the time of their demise in 1962 and sadly passed away this week. We also remember those who are no longer with us whom we still hold dear, with our long serving former secretary Phil Terry in our minds, who sadly passed away this time last year.

There will be a collection at this afternoon's game in aid of the Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal and the club would ask all fans to support this very worthy cause.
 
Just been up pitch looks good a bit wet in in Accy end but Buzzer and co have been working on it all morning and seem to be winning, should be OK just need rain to keep off.
Let battle commence
 
Oxford or Barrow for me, Oxford to show them who we are. Barrow because they know who we are.
