Home game v Morecambe
 

Hi, I'm a Swansea fan and I'm in Liverpool for our game against Everton on 1/11/14. My wife, 11 year old son and I will be travelling up to your game the night before. Which is the best part of the ground for families and is it best to buy tickets before hand or on the night? Also, what's parking like - is there street parking?

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

I think our famous Mr T will answer all your points

Hello Swansea Jack,

Our Jack Barrett Memorial Stand is our recognised family stand but if you wish to experience something different I certainly would suggest the Sophia Khan Stand (Clayton End) . This is a half standing and half seating stand which give you the choice.

Tickets are just pay on the turnstile on the night and if you wish to park there is a small charge on the local Accrington Amateurs pitches next to the ground on Livingstone Road.

Home you enjoy your visit and feel free to nip into our club store and make yourself know to any member of staff I'm sure they will make you feel extremely welcome.

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

Is the Sophia khan stand the home of the Stanley ultras. If so we may go in there. Sad, but true, my son has never stood on a terrace to watch a match and after driving from South Wales I'll probably feel like stretching my legs. When my son goes to football training he loves wearing football gear nobody else wears (his wardrobe is full of kit from obscure Icelandic and danish teams etc)......so a trip to the club shop is a must. As it's a derby game so I'm looking forward to it even more. Cheers and "up the Stanley".

Under 12s are free if in Halloween fancy dress for the morecambe match.

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

Only under 12's? And there was I busy planning my fancy dress costume - not gonna bother now :rolleyes:

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

Get a life can,t wait to play your horrible hostile club and fans and take 3 points.

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

As someone said, you can pay to park but there is street parking around the ground. Hope you enjoy your visit, Swansea Jack.

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

Laugh all you want mate, question is how many kids will be seen around Swansea wearing a Morecambe shirt - answer, 1 less than will be seen wearing a Stanley one :p

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

It's that grim, even Eric Morecambe's statue tried to escape the other week.

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

Foot loose and fancy free !!

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

I wasn't being disrespectful. There'd simply be no reason for any child to have anything other than swansea shirts (with the exception of the odd barca, Madrid or Man utd chucked in). There will now be an accrington Stanley shirt at his training.....and certainly nothing with morecambe on it.

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

I'm sure no one took it that way. I'd guess it was aimed at the Morecambe fan.

It may be worthwhile checking the shop have one his size to avoid disappointment.

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

I certainly didn't think you were being disrespectful, the jibe was definitely aimed at the Morecambe fan who thought that your comment was hilarious - we'll see who's laughing a week on Friday when we take the first installment of our guaranteed 6 points from the Shrimps.
Hope you & your son enjoy the game, should be a cracking atmosphere.

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

You will need more than 836 home fans for a decent atmosphere :theband:

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

Quality beats quantity every time. You should know that by now. :D

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

If that includes the mental age of the fans I'm afraid the coffers are going to be empty as it means zilch income from the away fans

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

We 've got a special friend!! I think you might know him :D http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/m...47758862-n.jpg

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

Don't Morecambe play in fancy dress every week?

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

Be a struggle to pay that Tax bill from 836 people !

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

We only needed ONE person to pay our tax bill :alright:

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

I reckon morecambe can't Beattie that.

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

Didn't Beattie leave though ? :hehetable

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

Yes, but the tax bills are still going to his address .....

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

Afraid so.....It was rumoured he found taking the mandatory 6 easy point off you sorry lot so boring he has gone to pastures new.

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

Lots of despairing Morecambe fans on Shrimpsvoices after today's home defeat by Exeter. They are mostly fearful of getting battered again on Friday, but who knows - football's a funny old game? We need to take the game by the scruff of the neck and not let go!

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

Wish they had won today..... :)

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

Do you only ever think about the money?

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

Nothing to do with the money, if they had won, they might have been 'cock sure' ;) :)

50 Points is all I ever think about :)

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

Is ellison still in the Morecambe side?

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

'ELL ISON WHO????:tongueout

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

Hope so :)

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

Ellison wasn't playing today - injured apparently, Morecambe fans are hoping he'll be back for Friday

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

Well Morecambe have neither so I very much doubt he does

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

Rains coming for Friday they must really want him back now, Barry Roche will also miss the game, he's out for rest of season

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

Saw a bloke walking around Exeter this afternoon with a Morecambe shirt on - honestly couldn't believe my eyes.

Shouted out of car window "didn't you know you were at home?" and "you got stuffed 2-0"

He gave me the finger - then his wife whacked him one.

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

Haha

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

too true who else have they got capable of badgering the ref to get the game called off

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Not at all sure how this game will pan out...but live in hope...:hidewall:

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

I believe that Ellison has been having 'Swimming Lessons' in preparation for Friday!!!:pain30:

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

Wow. We were stood in the Sophia Khan stand and it was a great atmosphere - pity goals were down the other end. I met one guy who posts on here (didn't catch his name) and he and the staff in the club shop were very helpful. My boy got a Stanley away shirt (white is the best colour for a footie shirt). After the keeper went off it was a bit nervy 35 mins but Stanley tried to play football - unlike Morecambe who's liked hoofball to Ellison. We thoroughly enjoyed, will look out for your results and will definitely be back if the Swans are in the north-west and you are playing at home on the Friday night again.

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

you'll be back, jack

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

Ineffective, Clueless, and Anonymous ....and totally hidden in the collective pockets of our defence !.

Time he joined the rest of the O A P 's in the Stand at the Globe Arena one thinks !

You're right AM, Ellison wasn't playing today !.

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

Glad you enjoyed the experience!!:love:

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

I brought 3 pals from Blackpool and we thoroughly enjoyed the match. I too was on edge when the goalie was replaced. I thought he was not a proper goalie.

Re: Home game v Morecambe
 

Nurse! Nurse! Quick now, looks like another case of Stanleyitus, the good news is it's incurable! You'll be happily suffering for the rest of your natural (just like the rest of us) & it's highly contagious, so no doubt you'll be infecting others around you in the near future. :D

Welcome to the World of Stanley. ;)
