[quote=Tin Monkey;460259I wonder, if the roof had been finished, would there have been more people on the game?[/quote]

Doubtful if it would have made much difference - the weather seemed (wrongly!) to be clearing up a bit about 45 mins before kick off when the waverers would have been deciding whether to risk it or not. Pathetic turn-out from Accrington for such an attractive fixture and after such a good result on Saturday. It's sickening for Eric and Coley as the match was a great advert for football, played in a sporting manner with no quarter asked or given. Well done to all the fans for their great support on both sides. What a fantastic mid-field effort in particular from Stanley in the second half, but the whole team deserved something from a match which saw the Lecester defence rocking at times and having to resort to panic clearances. I thought Whalley made a big difference when he came on.
