Can't wait for the verdict! cant wait to read the other sites opinion of the verdict.

they're writing the headlines as we speak:

"cheating Stanley get away with it"

or

"cheating Stanley get their comeuppance"

or

" should have been more than xyz points!"

11am? thats when we always have the minutes silences isn't it?

Wynonie Harris · 30-03-2007, 07:22

Yeah, let's hope Mr Bean does the business for us. Feeling very nervous at the moment!

Redraine · 30-03-2007, 07:39

West Ham reckoned to be only fined, not deducted any points. One law for the rich................

maccawozzagod · 30-03-2007, 08:21

Mr Bean cited numerous precedents ..... so that should mean we are treated the same, shouldn't it?

Kiwi John · 30-03-2007, 08:46

Just hope and pray Mr Bean isn't just 'grandstanding'.What time do you really expect to hear something?

Outback Ozzy · 30-03-2007, 08:52

Lets just say there are a lot of hopeful people associated with Accrington Stanley this morning. I have just come in off nights and I do not think I will be able to sleep until I have seen the outcome of this case. As Kiwi John says, Good Luck to Eric and all the team in Preston this morning.

Kiwi, just for interest - the hearing starts at 1100 local (about 2200 your time) and I would think that a decision should have been made by 1300 local - midnight your time

Wynonie Harris · 30-03-2007, 08:54

According to the Observer, it starts at 11am, the football league present their case, we present ours, then the committee make a decision. Could be early afternoon, I suppose.

Kiwi John · 30-03-2007, 09:01

Thanks for that guys.Will have to check out here when I wake up. And BTW OO , it was Macca who conveyed the best wishes to Eric, but I naturally concur.

Morecambe_Red · 30-03-2007, 09:23

as one of the players was a keeper who was only on the sub's bench against Wrexham surely that would not count.

Doug · 30-03-2007, 09:49

All the best Stanley, irrespective of the outcome, even if it’s bad the club can bounce back. All it needs is faith and the faithful to stand up and be counted. 44 years in the wilderness couldn’t kill us, this is nothing but a bruise caused by bitter men. On Stanley On.

Urban Spaceman · 30-03-2007, 09:54

I am an optimist by nature, and this may not be as bad as was originally thought.

Good luck to the entire team acting for Stanley, and whatever the outcome, Stanley will bounce back. Noone can keep the Stanley spirit down for long !

I have lads in Preston on the Railway with Chainsaws if the verdict goes against us!!!!!!!

jimmyjim · 30-03-2007, 10:38

take heart.... spoke to the Whalley family earlier in the week and was assured that Stanley had all the admin in order... fax clearance to play from the F.A. and all relative paperwork.........
