Sour Grapes

The League paper is reporting that Denis Wise complained about both the stadium and the pitch yesterday. Given that Wrexham also made complains particularily about the floodlights it seems that there are those in League two who just expected to come to Accrington score a couple of goals and collect three easy points. :tongueout Is what I say

The league paper would do better reporting on league football and not sour grapes issue's.;)
 
If the pitch lighting etc were not up to the league standard why are we there when they could have refused us promotion? Dennis Wise is still thinking he is in the premiership and that all clubs have loads of dosh to spend. We are in a lower league and money is tight and personally under these circumstances we are holding our own. As for Wisey send him up hear and I will show him a few bad grounds that pro footy is played at.
 
It probably is sour grapes from Wise, as he must have expected to get 3 points yesterday.

However, let's be realistic. Our ground must be the worst in League 2 and the floodlights are pretty disgraceful to say the least. Maybe if all of them were working they'd be a bit better?

I thought I'd heard that we got some kind of grant when we got promoted, for ground improvement purposes. Is that true?
 
I there is then we must apply for it and any others available to our "little Big Football Club" and as soon as possible. It will be good for the town as well so what help can HBC give?
 
Ok maybe not the best idea mentioning HBC. :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

Staying up here means I aint as upto date with stuff as I should be so have to rely on whats on here. :(

Probably a F.A. grant. I heard a whisper it was 400.000 and was to pay for the all new whinney hill grand stand. Like i said it was only a whisper;)

Hope that is £400k and not 400 pence. ;) Wispers have the habit of starting with a grain of truth. :D
 
talking to a couple of our players last night, they said that they sit in darkness in the dressing room so that when they come out it looks really bright!

or Underhill?

I agree totally about Underhill Zayno14.

I was at Barnet earlier this season to see Barnet v Walsall, and in my opinion, it is far worse than the Fraser Eagle Stadium.

The ground at Underhill looks as if Barnet have not spent anything at all on it in decades, let alone years ! :( :( :(
 
Totally agree...Barnet is far worse than our ground. As for Edgar Street, it may be bigger than the FES, but it's a dank, depressing slum which should be condemned as a public health hazard.
 
I think Dennis Wise must be related to the plonker who was commentating for Swindon yesterday. He did nothing throughout the first half but slag us off, kept going on about how Swindon couldn't be expected to play free flowing football on such a pitch along with numerous other nasty comments about our club, the pitch - in fact anything related to Stanley. I know they're gonna be biased to their own club but that bloke was a disgrace.

Well he was probably miffed that they did not win and were perhaps outplayed by Stanley (I wasn't at the game so can only go on reports on here and in the League paper today).

Perhaps he has forgotten that the pitch is the same for both sides, and a decent side should be able to perform, regardless of the state of the pitch. :D :D :D
 
The more the opposition moan about our pitch and stadium the more i want it to remain exactly the same. Why should we make coming here a pleasurable experience for them. The Fraser Eagle Stadium is becoming a fortress. People are taking notice and more and more away teams aren't looking forward to coming here, lets keep it that way.
 
Personally (and I do stand to be corrected), I think that the Swindon bubble may have burst already - they are certainly going through a rocky patch with only seven points from a possible 21 in their last seven matches.:D :D :D

Many of the pundits were predicting that they would run away with the division (and maybe Swindon started believing it themselves after their flying start !), but I think Walsall are a better side and would be my favourites to win it (assuming that Stanley don't !! lol ).
