No point telling people on here not to invade the pitch... what the message to us is to help make sure no others go on

the quiet ones you have to watch

[waltergalbraith]

why not have a pitch invasion after they present the trophy probably be safer cause everybody will try and rush to the front and whats the point of winning a trophy if u cant inter mingle with the fans thats whats it is all about somebodys bound to get hurt if u cant enter the field of play if theres a crush

Exactly, if you think everyone's just going to stand at the side and clap, you must be going barmy

Well said Jase. But please can somebody tell me what the Scarborough invsion was for? Was it the day we won the league? Nope. Was it the day we recieved the trophy? Nope. So why?

[waltergalbraith]

i think some people on here are hypocritical where were you when we won the unibond league like above we done ours in woking so its hard cheese for the rest of you stinks of elitism no wonder theres a split in the support

youll never be bigger than the club no matter how you try

[maccawozzagod]

Rob, can you please answer as to where we should watch the presentation.

I agree we shouldn't be on the pitch, but it is very difficult to see where the trophies are usually presented. Everybody gets on the field just to be nearer.

Just got back from the social club; another mad night!!

Thanks to all how helped the stewards and staff keep the pitch clear and us all to witness the trophy presentation.

I'm sure the TV and press pictures will show the world that "the Reds are back in the big time"

[stanerlee]

i'm not sure that all the stewards should be thanked!!!
i took a young lad with me to the match who was too small to see properly so i sat him on the wall at the clayton end whilst the team did the lap of honour.
others did the same with small children. not doing any harm , not threatening to invade the pitch or anything. that wasn't enough for a couple of stewards who behaved in a gestapo like manner telling everyone to get off the wall.
one steward ended up in a one to one argument with a loyal fan and said ,"I telll you what it is,I don't get paid for this, and I don't take s*** off you".
well, if this is the case pack it in.
On the whole the stewards at stanley are first class but if yesterday is a taste of the future there is no chance of the attendances going up for the football league. Stewards use some sense and descretion please.

Much as I regret criticising the stewards, who on the whole do a good job, I witnessed a definite case of 'Do as I say not as I do' double standards yesterday.
The gate staff and one or two more, all dressed in their red Stanley fleeces were stood at the end of the main stand, just inside the season-ticket entrance, celebrating Stanley's promotion drinking champagne from paper cups. No harm in that you may say. A few minutes later along comes the Senior Steward/Gold Bond Draw promoter, sees a fan having a drink and says "Take that off him, this is a no alcohol ground".
People see and notice things like this so come stewards,get your act together.

Exactly SR The day went well, everybody listened to the tannoy so everybody saw the presentation, it looked great on TV the world and his dog know Accy Stanley are on their way.

Final Thanks to Mick Scultz, unsung hero all round decent chap, you did a top job Mick ensuring the day went well. Fortunatly Accy Stanley has a number of brilliant peeps in the background who to me are just as important as the team.Take a bow Sculzy & Others you know who you are.

What lap of honour? A large number of fans were on the Coppice Terrace and the closest the team came to them was at the corner near the dressing rooms. There was no lap of the pitch, just over half the ground was covered, and a number of fans were disgruntled at the end. Very poor organisation in my opinion.
