How can anybody red want to half way seriously conser missing this one?

Everybody who has any interest in the Stanley should be here!

It is a local derby!

It is a six pointer ish!

It will be theeeeee biggest following Stanley have EVER had!

It will be theeeeee LOUDEST following Stanley have EVER had!

If I lived in Cyprus, Spain, anywhere mainland Europe, I would move heaven and earth to spend a weeks wages to come to this game.

This match should remind everyone of why we support Accrington Stanley. We are the epitome of everything British man stands for! We had no right to be one of the founding members of the league - we had no right to become the most famous small club IN THE WORLD - we had absolutely no right to EVER dare to come back from obscurity and better the BIG non-league clubs such as York, Exeter, Hereford, maybe even Morecambe - wehav eno right to stay in this league. But what we as fans can do is make damn sure we play our part in helping to keep us up.


Do you think I upset the club and its primary sponsor for no better reason than to spend half of MY BIGGEST SATURDAY OF THE SEASON STAYING SOBER?

Its done at the expense of everything to ensure that I have done my part in trying to secure three pooint when it is most needed.

Bring everybody you can, bring whatever you can that might aid and abet the atmosphere, sing your absolute damn loudest and clap at every opportunity.

This may be our last chance to show the real game what Accy Stanley fans are all about. If it is not our last chance then it is because we - the Accy Stanley red and white army have sung home the points.


OH ACCRINGTON! .......

It'll be gone 1:30 !!!!!

Anyway I even trying to persuade Mrs Macca to come as it will show her what football to a stanley fan means at its most rawest.

We do need the points and it is a kind of six pointer - but if we dont win we still have our big chances when we play Macc and Torquay at home, amongst others-----------BUT, this is the first time we have played a REAL DERBY since the days of Great Harwood. And as much as those games meant to me at the time, a derby should be battled in front of more than 200 fans.


BIG BIG derby match - this is the biggest legue match we will ever play unless we need to win the last one to stay up (and I hope not cos its MK away). Biggest because we have never broke a 1000 fans away - we will.
Biggest because we have never played a big local derby on a saturday in the football league for over 44 years! Biggest because we deserve to wallop Rochdale having never been outplayed by them no matter what league we have played in at the time. They owe us because we knocked them out of the municipal parks knockabout 11 cup the other week.
