Bit of a problem for me this one. My interest in Stanley dates back to 1963 and they were my favourite non league club post 1968 despite my proximity to Skelmersdale United. Family members played for both clubs. I am also a Lancastrian. Needless to say accession to the League in 2006 did nothing to dampen my enthusiasm. My support for Sheffield Wednesday dates back to 1975 though it too has it seeds in the early sixties and later grew from regular visits to the city in the 70's. I have lived in Yorkshire since 1989. I have access to a Sheffield season ticket for the match and expect to be right behind Coley's dug out though the match evokes mixed feelings. For instance in the first match I thought the first Wednesday goal should have been disallowed for physically blocking the Stanley goalkeeper. Will I be impartial and diplomatic?
