Friendlies
- Thread starter Lemur
- Start date
Looking forward to two new grounds. I believe Widnes play at the brand new rugby stadium!!
Sounds like a possibility, Widnes 5 august 7.30.
Any more details though?
I got dragged to an Everton reserve match there once.
Lucas Neill was playing right back for Everton - can't recall much more.
A touch on the vociferous side, was Lucas Neill that evening. In my humble opinion.
Constantly on to the ref, bless him. At least he cared!

Widnes ground is on the original site when the club were founder members of the then Northern Union. It was rebuilt about 17 years ago and has seats on all 4 sides with a capacity around 14,000. I suspect they will only open the South stand.
Stanley have played at this stadium before when we played Runcorn Linnets. Because it is Widnes Vikings ground and an artificial turf as well, this is the reason why Widnes (formally Runcorn) now play there.
Now this is a new ground. They do not play at the McCain anymore but have moved in with the local rugby club. Is a precedence being set here? Football and Rugby ground sharing!
Hi there. McCain Stadium demolished and bulldozed flat I am afraid.
Since reformation in 2007 Scarborough Athletic have been playing in exile down the coast at Bridlington Town's Queensgate Stadium. They continue to groundshare there but a new stadium is in the pipeline and Boro hope to move back to Scarborough in two seasons time.
Scarborough Athletic only use the rugby club for pre-season friendlies

The thing is though, Burnley and Rovers fans will pay the £15 pounds,
Maybe it's not the best way to interest new Stanley fans but to me pre-season is just about fitness, If that means getting money out of Burnley and Rovers fans to help our season then so be it!
Coley and Jimmy having a joint testimonial against Burnley!
Shame they couldn't have had one before they left for Rochdale but fair play for them putting SOS appeal first in 2009, Shows the passion they have for the club, hopefully get a good turn out!
Burnley is testimonial for duo ? Accrington Stanley FC

Highlights from yesterday's game. Obviously edited from a Rovers perspective but shows some good Accy chances:

nice turn from Windyass early on. Other than that it would seem that we are developing the ruts again in readiness for the promotion push
