what about the first 'STANLEY ARE BACK' at Chester? Sung with gusto, pride and passion.

Revived Red · 17-04-2007, 08:03

The JPT games against Carlisle and Blackpool would be high on my list, as would the Notts Forest and Watford games.

I think my best moment was the weekend in Torquay and especially Gary Roberts scoring that brilliant second goal.

, although the fantastic atmosphere at the Carling Cup away match at Watford has to be right up there (and incredible that Diesel could keep that drumming going for so long and generate such an amazing atmosphere, as Chimer has said).

My worst moment is easy - the 4-0 away defeat at Bristol Rovers two days before Christmas, when just about everything that could go wrong did go wrong (Mangy was sent off in the second half) and we really struggled to fill the subs bench.What is more, there were very few Stanley fans there (unsurprising with it being just before Christmas) and it was freezing cold !!!

My feet took a couple of months to thaw out !

Gary Roberts leaving was also not a great moment (just 3 days after the Torquay match) but Stanley have managed without him and Ian Craney and I am sure that next season will not be as angst filled as this one !

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS STANLEY !!!

The weekend in Torquay is special for me and seeing John in the dugout with a helluva hangover. The Torquay game was great as well as the huge sigh of relief when the goal went in. Also a plus for me is the way we have played these last 7 or 8 matches, even if we have lost by the odd goal away from home. The whole team pulled together.
On the down side, The referees in this league are pure crap,except for the guy last week against Grimsby. Like others, I was at the very first league match at Chester and home match against Darlo. I mourned the loss of Gary Roberts and Ian Craney, however, after some tough times, we seem to have turned the corner.
we have all worried about the possible points deduction, but all sighed a huge sigh of relief when it all came to £6,000 plus the same amount suspended.
All in all, I think the majority can live up to John Colemans favourite saying
WE ALL KEPT THE FAITH! Onwards and upwards for next season.

Blimey where do i start so many

Peel Park march - quite an emotional but worthy & appropiate way to start the season, meant a lot, maccas speech & pink hair day - watch yer coke glass lol a fantastic experience

Followed by 1st home match to darlo.

chester - 1st match in the league - yes i was there & my 1st away match became a family day out despite the result - flags en masse

V Nott'gham forest - wasn't there

but listening to it on the radio OMG tension & elation best commentry i've heard on the radio heart in my mouth stuff

v Bury away - great fan support mental madness from our drummer & singing madness - great atmostsphere

Torquay home - Got to be the most important & elative win of the season when stanleys future hung on the balance great celebrations in the clubhouse & came home late & quite tipsy

Beating Posh - mainly my buddy supporter gave one posh player some right home truths - literally!!

Grimsby home - cos was sooooo peeved i wasn't there grrr grrr but had great company on here with kiwi & Zero as our group smoking sessions got stanley smoking with goals each time

Seasons not quite ended yet so may add to the list

Most importantly no matter what the result im always at home at the fes with the regular stanley family - whom are all mental but great fun come rain or shine

For me, travelling to Spotland in a fleet of buses and showing the Dale what it means to be a supporter by outsinging them even though it was probably one of the worst Stanley performances I've seen this season.

Also, the Torquay match. Even before Mullin scored, it was obvious that the team were on form again and owning the pitch like a pack of terriers. The three points just made up for the fact that I got soaked to my undercrackers.

The final high came as my mate texted me with the verdict of the football league hearing at Preston.

accymel · 17-04-2007, 17:28

Oooh ****** how could i forget the hearing ...... add that one to my list - cheers growler

I know the rain was bad that day & it was hard to see but I think you'll find it was Cav who scored - agree with the rest of your post though

Is this a forum for the senile? There seem to be a few dodgy memories on here.

Phil Whalley · 17-04-2007, 20:43

Agree with all of the above. The late winners at home to Wycombe and at Barnet were also good moments, but something that sticks in my head is something more personal, before the Watford League Cup tie. I work close enough to Watford to be able to catch a bus to the ground, and when I first moved down south we were in the Unibond First Division, so the idea of watching Stanley at Watford was almost inconceivable. We were playing at the same level as the local side Northwood FC and getting roughly the same gates of a few hundred or so. Anyway, having caught the bus from work, as we approached Watford town centre I saw a couple of lads in Stanley shirts walking along the road, on their way to a pub no doubt, and this momentary sight served to emphasise again just how far we had come in such a short space of time, to be playing a Premiership club – and having beaten ex-European champions to earn the right to do so. The sight of those two lads in their Stanley shirts gave me a great sense of pride and it’s a moment that I cherish.

Best Moments For Me Making So Many Friends At The Matches And Of Course Toddys Winner Against Peterborough

Zero · 18-04-2007, 00:45

Personally the crowning glory to this season was David Brown belting in the 1st goal against Hereford while the Clayton End were all singing Cart On.
Dreams DO come true !

Worst moment would have to be missing the Freebie, more the ground packed, because of St Patrick`s Day in Derby.

Wynonie Harris · 18-04-2007, 07:48

Apart from all the great match moments, like Phil, my most cherished memory is a more personal one. I was on a train from Piccadilly to Nottingham, travelling to the Notts County match. As the train went along, various supporters got on...Stoke fans on their way to Barnsley...Rotherham supporters going to Chesterfield...and an exiled Sunderland fan en route to Derby. We were all chatting to each other, asking the usual questions...who are you playing today?...how do you think you'll go on?...where are you in the table? As we talked, it suddenly occurred to me that, after years of having my nose pressed up against the sweetshop window, I was now a member of that most coveted of clubs - the magic circle of football league club fans. What a fantastic feeling...and long may it continue!
