Home Town Team ?
 

After reading Macca's statement about his home town team, how many of you more passionate supporters are actually from Accrington ?

Re: Home Town Team ?
 

Well, I am, Accy born and bred and proud of it (it says so on my passport)...but now living in enemy territory - Stockport!

Re: Home Town Team ?
 

I live 10 mins away now, but my roots are Accy. My Dad was a Stanley supporter before they dissapeared. I also work i Accy, and have done for 3 years now.:rolleyes:

Re: Home Town Team ?
 

I was born and raised in Accrington. I haven't lived there for a number of years though.

Re: Home Town Team ?
 

Me too, born and bred in Accrington, went to Peel Park before the club demise 45 years ago (also went to school there sometimes). Went to St Christophers till 69 then joined the Army. Wandered around the world, got married had kids, got divorced etc etc but in the end I came back. Although I too live in enemy territory (Wigan) I still come and watch Accy (Season Ticket holder/OSC member etc etc)Even manage to drag Wigan Athletic fans up there because they say it reminds them of the days of Springfield Park. So whatever happens rain or shine promotion or relegation I will support my hometown team forever.

Re: Home Town Team ?
 

Lived in Accy for fifteen years, and now call the assistant referee, "Liner" without even thinking about it. Originally from another part of Lancashire, well it was when I was a lad - Liverpool. :eek:

Must admit I get a buzz from all the scousers that've played under Coley, with one notable and recent exception. :p

Re: Home Town Team ?
 

Born in Accy, raised in Ossy, now engaged in permanent missionary work on the wrong side of the Pennines!

Re: Home Town Team ?
 

Good to see all this local support. Now perhaps Doug might stop trying to convert me over to you lot, I was born in Burnley with claret blood :D

Re: Home Town Team ?
 

aww bless well we all have our crosses to bear ;) :D

Re: Home Town Team ?
 

I was born in Ormskirk but until I was 25 lived on the former Stanley family estates at Lathom about 3 miles to the east. So I have always been a Stanleyite in more ways than one.
