After months of closed season speculation, the big day had finally arrived. Yipeeee!!!
Conditions were perfect. Balmy, cloudless summer evening, premier league opposition, new strip & a pitch to rival Wembley. The anticipation was almost unbearable.
Imagine my surprise when I walked into the Crown for my pre-match libation, only to find I was the only customer at the bar! Was this a dream?
All around were fans in blue & white sporting all the bravado of the newly promoted anticipating a 8-0 thrashing of their lowly opponents.
By kick-off, the Clayton end was embarrassingly empty. Had the 7.00pm kick off confused the faithful?
It must have, as by half time it had filled up to a more acceptable level although nothing like I had anticipated for such a tasty pre-season appetizer.
When the teams took to the field it was a case of spot the old boys, so many new faces were on show.
The clubs decision not to name those 'on trial' for their futures was frustrating. Why all the secrecy????
Surely any player deemed fit to wear our shirt deserves a credit on the cast list!
The game proved to be the classical cliché - a game of two halves!
Despite dominating possession, Huddersfield rarely threatened our goal in the first half & the whole team, including Chapman, put in an excellent defensive display.
The second half was a more lively effort & despite their inevitable goal, we created some creditable goal attempts.
I thought all of those players named 'a trialist' showed promise & each proved more than worthy of league 2.
Huddersfield's superior technical skill ensured the game followed the script, although a draw would have been a fair result after 90 minutes.
Bring on Everton at 3.00pm Saturday! Let's hope this time I have to fight my way to the bar!

My friend, bearing in mind the occasion & the ludicrously cheap tickets, I can only despair at that response!

The irony of comments about low gates from someone who won't be coming anywhere near the club for years to come!

Irony from a Stanley 'fan' who's spoilt for choice as to his options of which other team(s) to support. Surely not. .

Try Ben Richards Everton ex Airdrie...????

Surprised that your gate was quoted as being just over 1600. Not bad for a friendly...but I suppose the 'udders fans out numbered the Stanley ones....!!!!

After you have made it clear you won't be attending any more games in the foreseeable future, you have the stupidity to make a comment about showings at the Wham. You really are a mixed up individual. Please do us all a favour!
