ShayCrazy - fans eye view of yesterday and tomorrow

There was of course another team involved in yesterday's warm up, Accrington Stanley (said in the compulsory scouse accent a la annoying 80's milk add ). Based on this showing poor old Spaccy clearly don't have a hope in hell in the coming season. It really felt that they had found their level playing against our pub league team. Their dozen or so fans (christ its only 26 miles away – Garforth brought more) draped those annoying flags all over our stand – 'Pride in the shirt not ££££ in the wallet' one banner said. What else could Stanley fans say? They are skint, they have no support and buy most of their players from Poundstretcher. If they wanted a truly honest a flag along the lines of 'We are ASFC and we are totally f***ed' would work better (I am sure if they ask our commercial staff nicely have some left over in our club shop from a couple of seasons back, they will just need to die them and change the name, it will only cost a few bob). You do for a moment feel for these lost souls who have so much in common with us, but then you remember they are from Lancashire (close to Burnley), which entitles you to chuckle at will.

Moor crap from across the boarder!!!you lot keep to your side of the fence and we'l keep to ours

and what was the result by the way
