to mark the passing of our non-league status and our return to club of 92 Chimer posted this idea

Just an idea .....

It had crossed my mind that it would close the circle nicely to meet up at Peel Park and have a procession through the town centre then up to the FES - but I was assuming the first home game would be on a Saturday, not sure it would work on a Tuesday evening.

Also as I've not been in Accy for the best part of 30 years, I may be underestimating how long it might take !

the idea is a good one and we are planning to do it. At the moment the plan is to meet around 6:45 at Peel Park. We will set off shortly afterwards. We hope to have a convoy of cars and foot pedestrians with flags, air horns, THE DRUMS, and anything that displays your passion and enthusiasm for Stanley. We are hoping to have the Angels with us, and I think somebody was talking to the pipe band.

As part of Red and White Fortnight this will get plenty of publicity from The Bee, 2BR, Rock FM, Lancashire Telegraph and the Observer.

All are welcome and absolutely definitely the more the merrier.

If you wish to take part in this buthave difficulty walking and do not have transport PM me and I will try to find somebody who can include you in their section of the convoy.

This is not going to be like a carnival where we meander through the streets. We will be taking the most direct route to the ground possible along Alice St, Thorneyholme Road and Ribblesdale. This will also mean the least possible disruption to traffic.

10 cars or less is not worth doing. 20 cars with walkers would be okay but still a disgrace considering the reason why. Over 30 cars with flags and noise and a Pipe Band and dancing girls would be a moment to behold.

Maybe a vicar to recite some prayers and bless the team before we leave?
 
Yeah it crossed my mind, gonna get on it tomorrow.

Although advertising it and then having the police pull it would create twice the exposure and an uproar..............
 
What a fantastic idea and good onya for giving the idea some 'legs'.Be neat if you could get some of the players from back then to be there.Any chance?
 
What about the plane? like the pride of lancashire stunt, who organised this and what did it cost any ideas? I'm willing to chip in to get it flying round for an hour before the game
 
What about the plane?

I believe Willie Miller organised it. cost was about 600quid, 10 of the ultras paid 60quid each.

Saw one last week going round over cackburn it read "mumtaz halal baby food"
 
I’ll bang in a tenner for the plane “Small Donation but it can be increased if people don’t stick enough in”

I’ll drive in the procession, and I’ll be on my todd so three seats are vacant (No Drinks and No Smokers and No Food) in the car.
 
been to the local poilice station who have told me to put my request in writing detailing who what why when where and how many>?

Doing that now but how many should I say?
 
Although the idea is a brilliant one, have you got time to organise such a parade of fans. I for one cannot do the Tuesday night, although I will be at the match, but unless I can finish work about an hour earlier, then I cannot do the parade. Police are notoriously slow in getting things arranged, although I think it will only be the lights at the end of Alice St and onto Queens Road plus the turning onto Thorneyholme that will need to be policed, but be prepared to pay for the services.
 
A processon of milk floats might add to the occassion,it would certanly be eye catching and those less able to walk could ride on them.
 
why dont you get some posters on the fishy site :) or change the poster for darlington game to include the walk from peel park to advertise it once you get permission off the police :) youll have to hurry up as time flies and dont forget the media like granada lancs telegraoh etc

I will adding this information to the poster soon as things like times etc are confirmed
 
I hope you have better luck than us, we can't even play a bloody football match at 3pm on a Saturday afternoon in Shrewsbury, because of the coppers.
 
Bringing back to top ... are we going ahead with this procession / amble on Tuesday, with or without approval ?

Got to do it now... Coley told about 3million about it in his R2 interview tonight!!!
Suppose I'd better join in now!!
 
Have you had a word with Sue,the landlady at the Peel Park? She might appreciate a bit of notice if you are descending for a pre-procession pint;she only usually has 1 person behind the bar at that time of day!
