Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

Now i've got home, dried out, warmed up, defrosted with the help of a nice chicken tikka vindaloo I would like to say thanks for a great day, free admission, good crowd, plenty of Guinness and 3 points to finish it off with.
Sure many will post behind me to show their appreciation for what you have done today.
Many of us would have paid anyway and will be paying next week, for those who don't usually go think of it this way, if you go next week you will have seen 2 matches for the price of one - still cheap isn't it :D
hope to see you next week.

Absolutely….

A fantastic gesture from the club, a fantastic game and apart from the odd juvenile dick, a good crowed. One can only hope that those who braved and saw through the weather and enjoyed an entertaining performance by the lads come back again and again. Thank you Accrington Stanley.

Ditto Ditto and Ditto to all the above. Abso-bloody-lutely fantabidozy.

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

All above sentiments agreed with :D

Well done Eric and the Board, a gamble but hopefully well worth it.

Good to see a good few Torquay fans there as well.

Yeahhh we wont ask about their coach trip home:rolleyes: :D

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

Stanley played with spirit this afternoon (the one they forgot to take to Rochdale) and had they not clinched the three points, I'd have still come away happy. Although Torquay appeared to be getting a grip towards the half time mark, the second half was a good ol' rollercoaster reducing me to a bag of profanity spouting nerves. As it is, I'm well impressed. I think it might be worth the pnumonia! Seriously, was so wet I was jealous of those sitting in the main stand and I bypassed the pub on the way home infavour of a hot cup of tea and dry clothes.

Thankyou Eric for the freebie today - your plan worked. :D

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

A great game and cheers Eric for the gesture. If i have one gripe (i'm aloud one gripe free game or not) it was with the idiots (best i can think of to describe them without swearing) who tried to ruin the minutes silence, safe to say unless we have anymore free games they will not be HEARD from again.

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

same here to all of the above , ive had a great day thanks to the club.. looking foward to coming again.. and quite happy to return (and pay.) well done..

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

LOL was great meet a lot of people from the stanley forum here & Jimbo, who was sighing releif that he can come back hehehehehe:D

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

Yeh true point & some peed up blue & white nutters from behind us that were only stanley fans till 5.15pm:rolleyes:

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

At least they got theire come uppance with them getting beaten at home by West Ham after leading 1 nil.:) Forget that lot though - well done to our lads today, all played as though they meant it and weren't gonna be happy with anything less than 3 points (which they thoroughly deserved). Bring on the Welsh next week - can't bloody wait ;)

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

Can't believe it! Me and Mrs H get back from a week's holiday in Rome late this afternoon. I turn on ceefax and find we've won with a late goal...great stuff. Then I see the gate....am I still suffering from the after-effects of too much vino?... have the people of Accrington suddenly realised they've got a football team?...finally, realisation dawns when I look on t'fishy site. A bold move by the club and one that seems to have paid off. But it's just my luck...the most atmospheric game all season (I would imagine) and I've missed it! Still, a great result! :)

Re: Thank You Accrington Stanley
 

I wouldn't go as far as saying that, there has been better, I think the weather had a lot to do with it today
