How's Accy Gearing up for it's Big Day
 

Just to totally change key but keep on the FA Cup Theme

I wondered with not living in Accy how the Town itself is gearing up for arguably it's biggest footballing one off day for many a year?:)

Don't ask!

"Is there a match being played?"

I am making Harrods v Poundland flyers

If you did, or if you'd ever lived here, you wouldn't even bother to ask that question! :rolleyes:

Re: How's Accy Gearing up for it's Big Day
 

maybe that's why I asked a loaded question

or maybe never a better opportunity to press home the message that the club do exsist to the good people of Accrington & Hynburn.

For years we've been told that the local public would respond if we had success on the field and a progressive administration at the club which welcomed prospective supporters. Now we have both in place (although still a few glitches to be ironed out in the latter department - but we're getting there). To my way of thinking, this season is crunch time for the great Accrington public. If they don't respond by turning up in greater numbers for the next few months, I reckon they never will.

Personally, Google Page Ranking, I think that fans like yourself who don't even come from Accy put the apathetic sods who sit in local pubs watching premiership matches on a Saturday afternoon to shame!

To be fair, there is a generation of Accrington lost to other clubs. Met a die hard Man Utd fan on New Years Eve who even has a box at OT. Had a "Made in Accrington" tattoo....

Maybe if we had been football league when he was "impressionable"

Look to the Kids, there was loads of em last night. There were more Stanley scarfs & bobble hats sledging over Xmas on the Coppice than Rovers/Burnley....

Despite the stewards trying their best to alienate every kid who stands in front of the Ultras, Children are OUR future

Also tbf to the club marketing dept, 3 days is no time to hype anything .... just our luck :)

In a nutshell you have it spot on, which is quite sad really

I have been fortunate enough to have been on both Turf & Anfield for Premiership, FA Cup & European nights this season as well as the Crown for all the home games and some of the best football I have witnessed and definately for sheer noise, passion and the best fans in the whole of the Football Pyramid nothing can beat the Crown Ground.:)

So if there is anybody wavering, give it a go!

Re: How's Accy Gearing up for it's Big Day
 

Yeah, it is really up to us via word of mouth to spread the message. I constantly talk to everyone & anyone about ASFC in a positive manner always. Do your bit & slowly we will change Accrington from BlueWhite ClaretBlue to Stanley

And short sightedness has always been a problem.... The kids thing (Matchday club Free U-12's) should have been done 10 years ago!

Would it also not have been better if it was extended to anyone of school age ?

3 days hammering the media/press should produce results.:);)

Re: How's Accy Gearing up for it's Big Day
 

wandering slightly, but staying on cup theme, i would love to see turner playing wide n supplying our strikers, i have a theory that normally ya only get 1 crack at beating a premiership side, n think if stanley play to their best, they have a great chance to get through at the crown, n that means getting ammo to our front 2.:) just my 2 cents.
