Football teams - Who are you for?
Hi Everyone,
I'm new to the Forum and an ancestor of Oswaldtwistlites. What is the choice of football teams? I must cheer for the boys and the "Home Team".

Only one choice, Maggie...Accrington Stanley...and don't listen to what anyone else says. I asked you first, so you're ours!

Not "nearly", definitely, and so what? We had a cracking day, a good laugh in the pub as always and then a thrilling match which we watched standing on the terraces in a real old-fashioned, traditional atmosphere of camaraderie and good humour...the sort of atmosphere that you don't get in plastic premiership grounds anymore. The sort of atmosphere that's brought Cashy home to Stanley after forty-odd years of watching Rovers (and if you don't believe me, just ask him!).
PS - Have I convinced you yet, Maggie?

That might be saw Wyn but Stanley can't survive on the gates they are getting last home game against Chesterfield only around 1400 including away fans. we live in different times now to the 50s and 60s, when there was no football on TV until MOTD hit the screens, this weekend there will have been 4 FA cup ties, 3 premier league matches, 1 championship match, 2 Scot Prem matches 3 or 4 Spanish matches plus Italian and German all live, and Stanley have to compete with that plus they're in the middle of Rovers and Burnley too,

Neither can Burnley or Rovers There's lots more to it than the gate receipts and once Stanley sort out the hierarchy and get the public/local businesses back onside they will stand a better chance

So, you're an expert on Stanley's finances now, are you? Or is it just classic Tory-style smear tactics to try and put a potential fan off? Fortunately, Dave, who like yourself is a non-Stanley fan, takes a more positive, and realistic view!
