Stanley v Gillingham
Monday 11th Jan 2010

9.00am pitch inspection - GAME OFF

Our match against Gillingham Town scheduled to take place tomorrow evening has been postponed due to the conditions in and around the Crown Ground here in Accrington.

A Football League referee visited the club this morning and particularly bearing in mind the distance between the two clubs it was decided to be in the best interests of all concerned to make the early decision.

A date for the rearranged tie will be confirmed later today.

Wynonie Harris · 11-01-2010, 11:35

Proofchecking is an unknown art at Stanley. You only have to look at the programme to see that!

We could be in the 5th round draw at this rate - would that be a first?

P.S. note annual signature update

If this crap weather keeps up we could be in semi-final draw.

Im sure Buzzer and other people have been putting their effort in so much to try and get this game on but like many other football grounds across the country their games have been called off too. With a ground like ours its impossible to get games on in this weather. I think we need to think about the effort the groundstaff have had to put in these last few weeks

Indeed - also not forgetting the work they will have to do when everything DOES start to thaw out and the UK becomes flooded - wonder if every man and his dog on Facebook will be saying Ive got water in my back garden... look!

I applaud the sentiment and would also give a big thank you and a special mention to all those who have volunteered their own time to turn up and help the Club out

That's what set's apart the Stanley fans from most others maybe small in numbers but they are Big of Heart and always there for the Club in their "Hours of Need"

The Club would do well to remind themselves of that from time to time

Grimps · 12-01-2010, 08:51

so will we have a game on sat or will it be of.f can anyone give us a time or date if we the fans or need to help out around the picth again

You would have thought that with the thaw now under way the snow needs clearing from the pitch as soon as possible, otherwise Saturday will be off because of standing water.
