Well. as far as the fans are concerned..... It's QUALITY that counts not Quantity.Were all transport links closed! Poor turn out from you guys.
It also seems to work with the numbers on the pitch too......Our ten men outplayed your eleven during the second half.
ON STANLEY ON
The stats on the BBC Sport website look good for Stanley, shots on and off target, corners, possession. And to say we played for over 50 minutes with only 10 men. The lads must have put a shift in and Adam got a run out. Really pleased with the point. Couldn't get there today due to illness........
What a nightmare!!,3 hour drive,got on the ground to a large roar,saw their players celebrating,so decided to get a drink.
Heard another roar,ran out and we had scored !!,missed both goals
Back to the game,both teams went 3-5-2 and it was decent game in which we played most of the football.
Keeper and back three were good and once again Joycy was excellent.
Terry has to learn you can't throw tackles in like he did,defo sending off.
Ref made a couple of bad calls,crooksy looked at Ellison and down he went,never a penalty.
Jones then took a quick short free-kick and all the players weren't watching,Devitt was and he raced away to score,defo goal.
He evened it up tho as we were denied a stone wall penalty.
Good point and everyone put a shift in,toss up for M.O.M between Joycy,Atkinson and Piero.
Positives- Acci" never say die attitude"and Bucko looked fresh and full of ideas.
Negatives - Barry was a bit rusty and Kai was either good or poor,needs to get his decision making better and consistency will follow and Shaun struggled to hold the ball up( he's a better 10)
What ever Morecambe fans say,we play most of the football,whilst they played very narrow and played into our hands
One more win will do nicely KTF

Why dumbo, we travel to all games by car.If you'd have planned ahead you would have travelled by train
Cashy is correct. If you could read you would also know that train travel was discouraged over Easter, clever clogs.If you'd have planned ahead you would have travelled by train
I nearly give up Cashy when still in Lancaster,but there was some lovely buildings to look at to calm my temper!!.
At 2-30pm,both teams didn't have a full team

I notice you didn't post on this forum the last time you beat us in the league.......................
Hold on a minute................... the internet hadn't been invented had it ?
James Gray wouldn't come back even if Coley guaranteed starting him every game!Good point today; I feared it might be the end of the unbeaten sequence but the Shrimpers have surely angered the Voodoo Gods of Football in some way.
Stanley's recognised striker now banned. Stanley's unrecognised striker scores two more for Northampton.
It must be a racing certainty that Mr.Crooks will be draughted in as CF for the next game, rather than recall Mr.Gray.
Choirboy and daughter set off from Clayton at 1pm for the 55 minute trip to The Globe Arena anticipating three more points.
Despite using my cycling knowledge of the roads it still took us 2 hours and 15 minutes to get there.
We finished up coming into Lancaster from the south on the last bit of the A6. Nightmare!....
it took about 40 minutes to do the last two miles through Lancaster centre to the bridge over the River Lune. We arrived at 3.15pm!
The ultras were in good voice and we promptly added the sound of our plastic 'single note' horns to the chanting!
The match was looking pretty even until at a Morecambe corner the Ultras gave a bit too much stick to Kevin "The Swimmer/Diver" Ellison......Yes.. he scored from the corner!!!!!
.I feared the worst but we went upfield and Jones got the ball outside their penalty box and I said to myself inwardly, 'Shoot', but he didn't and the ball went out to our wing and then eventually came back to Jones in more or less the same position and my goodness this time did he shoot? .......He curled the ball superbly from 30+ yards out to the right of centre into the top left corner with a superb shot!...what a goal... and I thought..."Yes, we are back in the game!"
Then there was handbags at two yards in the dugout with Jimmy Bell appearing to separate the 'Heavyweights!' Coley was sent to the stand in his lovely blue tracksuit. Soon after Terry G went in for a tackle a long way upfield from the Stanley end and was sent off, it appears on the say so of the assistant referee. It was too far away for us to make a judgement but there was probably no need, so far upfield, for Terry to make a tackle where he seemed to be over stretched!
The Ultras kept on singing as we do and we held out until half time.
The second half started with Morecambe subjecting our defence to some pressure but the defence and particulaly Scott in goal looked pretty solid.
There was a flurry of substitutions. Morecambe were awarded a penalty for what looked to be a 'dive' from Ellison after being 'monitored' by Crooksy. Although again, "It was reight up t'other end o't'field".. IT LOOKED LIKE THE REF WAS CONNED BY AN EXPERT CHEAT TO ME!.
'Special Agent', Laurie Wilson aimed for the roof of the stand and thankfully he was successful...Still one all!
Cal went off for Buxton to come on. Cal had done ok going forward but did some risky stuff trying to beat players in midfield but losing possession a bit too much. Shay had run his heart out and was subbed along with Anthony Barry who had worked hard too, with Saun Maguire and Seamus Coneely coming on. Adam looked really solid defensively and very strong going down the left. Seamus helped to choke any forward movement by The Shrimpers and Sean ran his heart out chasing everything down up front.
We got on top with our hard working "Magnificent Ten Men". All through the match, Pierro had been doing what we expect, chasing back, tackling like a tiger, linking well going forward, taking on the full back, creating chances! He was my clear 'Man of the Match' once again. Josh had been working hard too and got into some great positions but I just wish that he would leard to do the 'Simple' thing sometimes. A classic situation was Pierro and Sean creating a move which found Josh twenty two yards out with Adam Buxton tearing up the left into an even better position but Josh tried his 'too clever, too often, step over ' on the last defender and lost possession. Adam would have been in a much better position to score had he got the simple pass. Josh has clearly got the potential to go on to be a great player but he needs to learn that 'skill' sometimes means doing the simple things well! The longer the match went on the stronger we got and we looked the team more likely to score. In the end a draw with ten men felt like a victory and we all came away happy to have maintained our MAGNIFICENT RECORD OVER OUR RIVALS FROM THE BAY!
Results from teams below us were not as bad as they looked at half time and we continue on our journey to mid table security!
THE REFEREE WAS THE WORST I HAVE AVER SEEN!
It was a pleasure to watch our players today, giving there all physically and being creative going forward.
The STANLEY SUPPORT WAS SUPERB and COLEY AND JIMMY SEEMED TO GET THE TACTICS AND SUBSTITUTIONS SPOT ON!
A GRAND DAY OUT GROMIT LAD!
(apart from the slow journey northwards)We came home via 'The Trough of Bowland' and were rewrded with beautiful scenery and a lovely rainbow. It took us just 70 minutes!
ON STANLEY ON
Why dumbo, we travel to all games by car.
Cashy !!... From his pointless posts, my feelings are that this latest Morecambe-fuelled nonentity to infest our Forum is probably some infant who is being raised on a diet of sour grapes !.
Like so many before him...best ignored !.
It was on the way I believe but they had to get the wheel right firstI notice you didn't post on this forum the last time you beat us in the league.......................

Their prediction league makes it clear just how badly the jinx has got their fans going

Yesterday I thought we were played absolutley magnificent and on another day could have easily won the game and yet nearly lost the game. Suppose thats football for you!
The lads put in a really big effort to get the point and the last 30 mins I had to count we still actually had 10 men. John and Jimmy deserve credit for a tactically sound 2nd half display when penalty aside we never really looked threatened.
Terrys challenge was a poor one and having seen it again it was a definite red card. Who or what formation we go with on Monday is a different story and will be interesting to see what we go with. Possibly we may see Gilchrist given a go.
Its a shame a few fans got caught up in traffic which i must say was ridiculous you couldnt move on most parts of the m6, luckily I left quite early. I'm sure if more would have made the would share the view of it being an excellent performance. The ones who did make it as always were in great voice and gave great support.
8 points above with 6 games to go should touch wood be enough for us.
Onwards and upwards. KTF

Good point, they should have put us to the sword but the penalty miss was key.
Ellison slapping his head in good natured banter to the baldy jokes, then doing it again 5 seconds later when he scored was amusing to a degree, although the obese Stanley fan who tried to get to him but was far too slow didn't think so.

If you'd have planned ahead you would have travelled by train
Some trains north from Preston were cancelled so I wish I had driven at one point. The last train to reasonably get there on time from Ossy was 11.55 am, not sure what time the traffic got bad?
At least there was a decent IPA for us that didn't drive.
T'was a good derby game! Had all the ingredients! Plenty of noise, plenty of beer, sendings off, manager agro, a great goal and another point against the shrimps!
Was a gutsy performance by the stanley and in the last ten minutes we could of actually scored all 3 if we just had the legs! Piero once again and warrior, great defensive performance and i thought buxton coming on for the once again disappointing Kal secured the point for us!
Thought there would of been more stanley fans following for this local(ish) good friday derby as i think the effort the players put in yesterday deserved more! however alot were stuck from the pathetic traffic on the motorway!
A win on Monday and hopefully we will be close to ANOTHER year in the football league!
Great passion from Coley but shame he got sent to the stands! Heres a video of it all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeh9sljl5bU
LETS GET BEHIND THE REDS ON MONDAY!!!!!

the video is great, once he has gone all you can hear (over the noise of the seaside main stand) is the Stanley fans singing. Good effort yon lot.
