Accrington Stanley

(Who are they? Exactly)

Ive been half following accy for a few years now my mate had a spare ticket for their playoff semi final against Stevenage a few years back so I went up watched them lose and went home and thought nothing of it at the time. Afterwards though I did think how good their fans were considering they were losing in the end behind the goal I was stood in. Fast forward a few years later ive started going up a few times a season when Everton are away from home with my Mrs whos a red to the odd game and its genuinely a joy to go upto and watch. The grounds tiny you can park for free two mins away and watch some great footy. Last week we ended up going in the hospitality it was £50 for a 3 course meal, programme and seats in the directors box and after the game cos they won it was £1 a pint. Even before it was only £2 plus theres a few of our old former youngsters in the first team plus a few scousers thanks to the management team.

Anyway the point im driving at is if anyone was ever at a loose end and Everton weren’t playing or you couldn’t get a ticket etc its 20 quid max and a few games are only 10 for adults pay on the gate it’s a really good day out and only half an hour to hour away for most in Liverpool.

P.S don’t mention the milk advert they’ve heard it already!

They nearly always score, especially at home.

And they generally concede at least one goal.

Ergo I almost always include Stanley in my “Both teams to score” coupon.

Forza Accers... :dance:

I went last season, had a good day.

Lad who went to our school is a regular for them. Fairly grounded lad.

Considering their budget and all that, they're doing amazing.

Who'd have thought 20 years ago that Stanley would be above Luton and Coventry.

That Coleman has learnt a bit like Keith Hill did at Rochdale, sometimes you're onto a good thing, and stick

Accrington Stanley v Sunderland is going to be a league game next season.

Fully endorse going and watching some lower league footy when I cant get to see the blues, Lincoln is my local team, with so many Sunday and midweek games this season, and with my lad playing and me coaching, getting to Goodison park has not been possible on so many occasions, going to watch the imps has been my live football fix. My lad even commented to me about the atmosphere at Sincil bank being better than goodison, something about old people moaning all the time (he's only 7, but picked this point up ever so quickly)...

Mind you......Stanley’s manager is one of the panellists on Soccer Saturday right now and his monotone voice would put you to sleep

Billy Kee played in the same village team as my son, one year apart. His dad was my lad's first coach when we first moved to Leicester. Very nice lad.
