I have missed the last two home matches due to other commitments but I am really looking forward to seeing the Reds play tonight. Especially after some good performances recently both home and away. We probably start as firm favourites to win tonight but in previous seasons this is just the sort of match in which in which we would slip up! I am sure that Coley and Jimmy will be stressing that it would be a waste of some great recent away victories if we slip up tonight.
So I hope and trust that the team is totally up for the match tonight and of course we can play our part on the terraces!
MAX VOLUME IS REQUIRED FROM ALL OF US TO HELP THE TEAM ON TO ANOTHER VICTORY TONIGHT!:jimbo:
Have a late rally call to get a friend to come on with you and swell the crowd a little. Hartlepool probably won't bring too many supporters and those who do make the trip will deserve full respect!
Crooksy will be up for this I am sure and whilst wishing Kal Naismith all the best in the future, tonight I hope that he plays as if his boots laces were tied together!:rofl38:
COME ON YOU REDS:theband:
ON STANLEY ON:wave8::signbeer:
 
Happens to often at Stanley this late call on a game no thought for travelling fans poor it rained hard all day and then eased surely a decision could have been made earlier Hartlepool arrived also this will probaly cost the club, and hopefully when we do play them they are,nt a much improved side.
 
Decision should have been made much earlier, hope there weren't too many travellers but feel sorry for the ones who did come - bit of a trek for nothing!

Here's tonight's weather forecast...

I got heavy rain 7-9pm on the BBC forecast?
 
Just to lighten the night up Morecambe 1-4 down at home to Cambridge silver lining springs to mind.
 
'Twas another late call tonight.:(
I had set off and on arriving was told by disappointed fans coming away that the match was off. I went down the steps behind The Crown to look through the railings down the pitch. Obviously I couldn't tell what the conditions were like from there but got talking to some Preston and Blackpool based Hartlepool fans and suggested they go for a pint in The Crown which they did! I even managed to persuade one of the youngsters to try the Moorhouses 'Pride of Pendle' which I was also drinking. He really enjoyed it too.....:cheers:
I have to say that it was in first class condition!Well done to Gilly!
I was out all day cycling and got pretty wet :Banane30:in some of the quite heavy showers so in the end I am not surprised that the match was called off. Anyway the decision helps to preserve the condition of the pitch which is essential to our style of passing game.

I was out cycling myself Choirboy in the rain, and will be tomorrow, doing 60 odd miles. They mollycoddle these footballers too much these days, but i take your point about our passing game.;)
 
This may have already been discussed to death but, after last night's postponement and the Newport aqua fest, it reminded me that Stanley were reported some time ago (probably in the summer, with no other footie news) as being one club in favour of the League allowing G4 artificial surfaces.

Q1. Do you think Stanley's current style would suit an artificial surface?
Q2. Are they any more resilient to the amount of rain that, too often, can bless Accy?

Personally, I'd prefer to see a game on real turf, but just wondered how far Stanley's current excellent passing game would be even more effective on plastic.
 
I think you are onto something Exile. I don't know the answer to Q1 but would think it could be a lot easier to squeegee excess water off an artificial surface which also would not hold water to any depth. Lots to consider though.

Any standing water on the pitch will just sweep off, a artificial pitch allows the ball to move quicker but can also be slippy when wet
