Why does it always have to be like this?
"Would the Accrington fans please sit down" boomed the bloke on the tannoy during the second half. No they wouldn't - not while most of the Shrews support in the main stand are on their feet singing "Stand up if you...etc." without any action against them at all. At half time the tannoy guy urges the home fans to swap ends to suck the ball into the Accy net, as Macca says above. I can't see why on earth we had to be pushed up into the far end of the main stand anyway. I know they were trying to ensure a bumper home gate and atmosphere, (and their fans were very good), but even if we had had an end to ourselves there would have been loads of room for plenty more home supporters than actually turned up.
Rant over - I think we have to have free admission again next week please, or we're in danger of going down in a sea of apathy from the Accrington public.
