Pitch

Yes, well done to those who helped out, and thankyou!!

I remain somewhat miffed that yet again its left to the last minute and yet again they only made it with the goodwill of a bunch of fans...............tin pot as usual.

Negative?........possibly, truthful?.......Most definatley :(

As one who volunteers at our club, I feel almost the same.

Tin-pot, maybe, but would you have it any other way? Its why the clubs we support are in our blood, unlike the plastic premier league wanabees.

UP the Shots!

'ON STANLEY... ON TO GREATER THINGS !'
 
Would just like to say thanks to Jase and the boys for giving me a lift with the seats today really was an eleventh hour job to get them in as they only arrived yesterday and they needed to be put together, yes it has been a mad week and not every thing has been finished because other jobs kept cropping up, ie new shower facilities in the refs room, safety gates to be finished, new safety barrier at the left hand side of the coppice end welded up and bolted down by the DON himself.I must admit it has been a sterling effort by everyone involved the lads doing the painting, Micky V (you know who you are) Bill and Fran (Adam is an ultra) Harry has cleaned every seat in the stadium and everyone else who has been involved whether the involvment has been big or small .I really think a big thanks should also go to Buzzer who has worked his socks off to get the pitch ready ( at one time i thought the grass was growing faster than he could cut it) I must say at times the last three months has been a real slog and it felt as though it would never end but thanks to a great team we have got there and tomorrow is the big day, it only seems like yesterday we were marching through Cheltenham with flags aloft and now its time for the stanley bandwagon to roll on yet again. ON STANLEY ON

I can only echo your gratitude SC, and although my 'fanship' of Accrington Stanley doesn't amount to taking part in the sort of efforts you report upon in your post, I am nevertheless proud to be associated with those who went the extra mile today !!.
With Fans like them...and a Team managed by JC and JB , how can we possibly fail ??.

'ON STANLEY ON !!!....TO GREATER THINGS !!'

But surely you're looking for "richtung Erfolg"

by the way Dave nice work, got the OSC card today. :) Thanks muchly.
 
To bring the thread back to the pitch, I must say it worried me today! The area between the Whinney Hill side and the Clayton End was somewhat reminiscent of a bog! People told me that there's been an awful lot of rain in Accy over the last 24 hours, but if it doesn't improve significantly over the next few weeks, I can see more postponements this season. Even Jimmy Bell felt moved to comment on it as he passed at the end of the half-time break. Fingers crossed!!

Not that much, Stan. If it's boggy after such a small amount of rain it makes you wonder how the new drains will ever cope with real downpours. I'm worried too, and have always thought that 70 grand would not be enough to get to the bottom of the historical problems.

I am still not convinced that the answer does not lie in a good top-dressing of muck !!

And there's plenty of it about Red !!!!!.
 
The pitch at at the clayton end /cowshed corner is a concern. I saw one occasion today when the ball dropped and didn't even bounce and we're only in August. It may be a case of gettin the contracters back in for corrective the work that needs to be done, but Dillon's comments are those of a tosspot. Quite simply, he's trying to cover up the ineptitude of his side who were expecting an easy win today/ yesterday
