Dons game

Was a bit nervous about this game being on, after the postponement....

F.A. Cup weekend - pity Burnley are at home(12:30) - but a good idea to try and get a few more in

On a separate note, this new 'safe standing' at Premier League Clubs is not a good thing for us

Safe Standing !! Have they ever sat down since it was introduced

never inforced unless you follow a lower league team then your made to sit down or worse

remember Leeds away in the cup kids thrown out for standing.roachdale the same ..

exactly, plus how many of us have a spring in our backsides that gets activated with a corner or a goal opportunity. if you get through 90 minutes only sitting down its usually a bad game with a defeat. its not unsafe standing but unsafe crowding thats dangerous.

And that is my point/worry M.H.

More than once in the past, I have brought along friends, who are supporters of P.L. Clubs.

They all enjoy the great Stanley atmosphere, but also the fact that they can stand, rather than sit - as they do when they watch their own Club

hope to see our new winger tomorrow play some part.

Tomorrow,s line up is anyone,s guess Morgan, Pritchard and Conneely still unfit, some players sick and some have COVID so new lad will probably feature somewhere in the 18.

it was the authorities and not the fans that wanted all seater stadiums in the first place. cannot imagine many not wanting the choice of both. same with other stuff forced on us and clubs especially at our level that was unwanted. the transfer window for me is the biggest one.

spot on monkey hanger AUthorities are to blame for much of the crap we suffer imho.

VALAIRIAN · 08-01-2022, 11:27

Terrible forecast for today - and as bad yesterday - this game going to be on???

cashman · 08-01-2022, 11:29

cant see why not we got a great pitch these days.

VALAIRIAN · 08-01-2022, 11:35

I shall take your advice Cashy

VALAIRIAN · 08-01-2022, 11:38

Colby will be on the scoresheet today

It has rained ‘persistently’ all morning hear in Accy.
Met Office forecasts the rain to ease off around kick off time.
I think the match will be on, down to the investment by our Sooper Dooper Chairman!
Just LOVE Andy Holt!
