We haven't got crystal balls but even you Kipax cannot see the future, we may get relegated in 3 years time, who knows.

roof or no roof, cant see Coley sticking around at the end of the season if we dont ' do ' anything, i think there is unrest at camp, everyone ignoring each other at warm ups etc, nobody talking to each other. After spaking to Eric's son today, might not be a Stanley in 2yrs time

John_Timmins · 19-11-2006, 22:22

OK, Denise, you can't just leave it at that. As Bagpuss says, tell us exactly what was said.

Wynonie Harris · 19-11-2006, 23:13

...hmmm, Denise seems to have gone without telling us about this mysterious conversation with Eric's son. A complete and utter load of crap, if you ask me.

I was on the Clayton end throughout and it hardly rained at all, there was a rainbow over Whinny Hill as I walked down, but I couldn`t get anyone to come along with me cos they were frightened of getting wet. On the way I didn`t expect so many there.
I was standing near Mr Timmins and you couldn`t fault the Atmosphere there as he said, No-one was cold cos they were jumping up and down, If there is no atmosphere where you are standing I suggest you create one. It`s quite easy you just open your gob and shout "Come on Stanley" then the people around do the same and hey presto there`s an atmosphere all round.
Even when Stanley are playing S*** the way you support them shouldn`t change, muttering and whinging "What the F was that" and "Useless" aint going to turn it round.
Although the end result of chanting Red and White army for over 10 minutes was a sending off and conceding 2 goals, so thats p***ed on that bonfire.
I don`t know what we can do. If everyone`s falling out like u say let me in the dressing room for some motivational team talks and kick some rsez.
Some Players and supporters P*** up nights to get the community spirit going ?

Onto the Pitch

Still to much big hoof up the field, oops straight to a defender. Has anyone who goes to more games EVER seen Bavs roll it out through the team ?
Passing was poor all round but If Harris did get himself stupidly sent off for spitting (He might as well of cracked him one at least) it capped off a day of wayward passes and weak tackles for him.
Why Why Why didn`t anyone challenge that guy before he scored the winner, 3 players were backing off and I had chance to shout "TO HIM !!" 3 or 4 times before the inevitable happened.

I was spitting and swearing and muttering about monkeys on the way home but I still had a fantastic day, with fantastic people, supporting a fantastic club.

Cart On Stanley !

****** me, the accyweb "slit your wrists after a defeat" thread....

No club in 2 years, B A L L S! Denise only pops on when things are bad with innuendo about how she knows people...........

As for atmosphere, if there's none where you are then make your own. If you don't then how can you complain. Yesterday was like an away game & the Ultras & lads behind the goal tried our best.

On the pitch, only Toddy stodd out if I'm honest but people, remember getting dicked by Bamber Bridge 5-1 etc etc

JEEEEEEEEEEEEEZus

Blimey all that blab and I forgot to mention the roof.

It was too windy to hold up the Banners.

New OSC fundraiser idea. Clayton End Parascending.

Although I read the forum regularly I don't often feel the need to post. However, just wanted to say that, having watched football for 30+ years, the last 9 of them at Acc - home and as many away matches as possible - I left a match early for the first time in my life on saturday. This was nothing to do with getting beaten as we were still a goal up when we left. Having arrived around 35 minutes before kick off we decided not to stand in our usual spot on the clayton end, but to go in the cow shed in an attempt to escape the exceptionally bad weather. A large number of people had obviously had the same idea, and by kick-off you could hardly see anything of the pitch. We lasted 10 minutes then gave up and went back out onto the terrace, where we were wet through and freezing within minutes. We have braved some dire weather over the last 9 years including, snow, wind, rain, hail, ice etc, and to some extent you expect that when you are a footie fan, but this week we had had enough. We left about 20 minutes from the end. Yes, we CHOOSE to buy a season ticket and spend our hard-earned money at Accy. Yes, we CHOOSE to come back week after week to support our beloved team through wins and defeats. Yes, we CHOOSE to buy half-time draw tickets, raffle tickets etc to support the cause, but we do NOT choose to be treated with disdain by a club which has so little regard for its supporters that we still have to put up with the same lack of BASIC facilities that we had in Unibond 1.
I will cut my nose off to spite my face and stay away when the weather is as bad again, despite having a season ticket, and I will not be renewing that season ticket next year unless there is some improvement.
The reason that attendances continue to fall is threefold - seasonal drop due to people spending for Christmas, a poor run of results, and no bloody facilities, including a roof!

unfortunately there isn't really a response to that. Many people will be the same. Many will come every week whatever nature throws at us, some of those will go in the shed, some will pay two quid extra and sit if there is space. But some just will not come in the rain. The crowd on saturday is probably our base support and that is the number that should be counted in the budgets (probably is). Anything above that is a bonus, but would always be above that with cover. I personally was torn between the stand and the Clayton End, but only cos I wanted a beer at half time. In the end I went behind the goals because that is where I will always watch football and it is where the atmosphere is. Sometimes, JPT games etc I will not pay £13 to stand on an empty terrace to get cold and wet during an atmpospherically lacking game. But with a roof I would.

glosterred · 20-11-2006, 15:37

on a lighter note at least none of us support macclesfield......then we realy could moan

AccyMad · 20-11-2006, 15:55

In the LET tonight, Coley is blasting the ref for the diabolical sending off of Jay Harris and for once I actually agree with him, the lad shouldn't have walked - at least not on his own, their no. 5 was a nasty piece of work throughout the game and was a blatant cheat. BUT .... I'm not sure that Jay's dismissal was what made the difference which led to our defeat. I know Coley always says that he will risk losing one point to try & gain three but not when we're down to 10 men and the opposition have just equalised. In my opinion his decision to sacrifice a defender and throw another striker on was a wrong one and contributed to our defeat - strange he doesn't mention that in his rant but then again he probably doesn't think he was wrong
