I've just got back from the Library, in the Tuesdays editions of the Accy Observer January 1914, it shows the results of the previous Saturdays Football, and Accrington Stanley is mentioned in one of the leagues, they lost 1-0

Thanks for that Retlaw

Accrington Stanley were playing in the Central League in 1914-15 and most if not all of the players would have been local.

Breedon Book quotes "the 1914-15 season was the last in peacetime football and Stanley finished in 6th position. The outbreak of World War One saw the men of Accrington answer their country's call. The formation of the East Lancashire Regiment which became known as the Accrington Pals and the fate they met is well documented ...."

I think it is likely that many of our players met their fates over the coming months but as team documentation is thin on the ground I would imagine it will forever remain speculation.


maybe one of the mods could separate these posts from the main thread as it could run and run as more info comes to light?

I've not seen any WW1 newspaper articles which mentions a Stanley player serving in any Regmt during that period, If there is going to be any thing I would need a name. There could have been Stanley men, but without documentation its a no.

It's not linked to the ticketing system, just another option for methods to pay, not always possible to contact the club during 'normal' hours for some people so just trying to make it easier

It does say in the description somebody from the club will contact you to sort out seat reservation.

Is there a time limit for keeping your old seat, must admit I haven't seen anything about it before

[Pendle Red]

A real plus putting that option up online Dave particularly for that live away from the Club

[teabag]

just done it, thanks dave that was easy for me being from outside the area
