A rumour has come to my attention that the lancs senior cup is to be played behind closed doors at the cliff,if this is fact i think it's a bummer.This was a match i was looking forward to,so to play it behind closed doors is a bummer,if it's true does anyone know who's bright idea it was.Can anyone confirm this and if so will there be a DVD of it to buy,will KP be there to take photo's.

See the fishy site
Accrington Stanley

Re: man utd v accy;
 

this was reported ages ago in the LET if you see the post about the orginal united game you will see someone posted about it beeing played behind closed doors

Re: man utd v accy;
 

Ridiculous!! :mad:

No suitable venue could be found????

How is the cliff suitable? Is it not prone to freezing aswell??

What are the rules around the comp? Does the home team have to play within a certain distance of there town/city??

I'm sure there would be plenty of county league clubs willing to open there bar and pitch for the game, I know it not goin to be a masive crowd, but say 20 people buy 2pints each at £2.50 a pint then its a bit extra than they would have had?

Given that half the teams in the Lancashire Senior Cup aren't from Lancashire the rules must be very flexible. :D

The last time Burnley entered about 4 years ago they played the 1st round against Rochdale behind closed doors.

Re: man utd v accy;
 

will we play a strong team. becouse of games being call off at man u game or will it be res and youth pity we could not go.:egged:

Re: man utd v accy;
 

I believe the game is being played tomorrow and is being played behind closed doors at The Cliff.
I can't see us playing the first team with a game on saturday so would expect it to be youth team that we send!!!

Re: man utd v accy;
 

I dont see the point of playing behind closed doors - whose gonna benefit from that :rolleyes:

Gone is footy as we know it.

Re: man utd v accy;
 

were supposed to be playing some trailist from non-league and a few other places according to the LET today.

Mr Heys confirmed that Reds manager John Coleman would run the rule over several potential new signings in the Lancashire FA Senior Cup tie against Manchester United at The Cliff tomorrow afternoon.

He added: “John is still very keen to add to the squad and he’ll be assessing a few players from non-league and a few other players in tomorrow’s game and then take it from there.”

Re: man utd v accy;

Re: man utd v accy;

Re: man utd v accy;
 

You have to play 5 1st team players at least. However they will be obsurcure ones who dont play reg. Mainly reserve players.

Re: man utd v accy;

Re: man utd v accy;
 

I suppose we'll concentrate on the league then.

Re: man utd v accy;
 

the doors might have closed ..... but it had a bloody big cat flap!"!!

Re: man utd v accy;
 

It's surprising who turns up when they want to, I don't remember too many of the Stanley management showing their faces at Clitheroe for a semi-final 2 years ago in the same competition, in fact we didn't even have a manager for that night. Some would call them glory hunters or something like that, Mr Chairman remember the next time you decide to have a pop at the fans, some of us would have liked to go but where not allowed.

Re: man utd v accy;
 

a bit belated but here are the goals from the game - number 3 is a belter

Re: man utd v accy;
