Playoff Leg 1 - Away at Wimbledon

I literally cannot wait for Saturday. Already starting to get excited! It's a real opportunity for something special to happen, and create history for our club.

If any team and manager are capable of putting a disappointing result behind them, it's Stanley and Coley.

In terms of the team, if Brown is fit, I would put him back in the starting line up. Slightly more controversially, I would also start Shay instead of Josh. Any thoughts?

Regardless of the team that starts, I'm feeling quietly confident we can get a great result. Just need to find somewhere local to watch the game, can't afford the time to travel down and back to London.

Well Stanley have the away leg advantage , so if they can come away with a positive result on Saturday , they'll have it nailed on . As a north end fan, we were in the same situation , almost identical last season & nailed it . Just gotta believe . Good luck Stanley

This playing home second isn't much of an advantage to Stanley, from Feb onwards the majority of home games have been draws, yet the last 5 away shave been won.

0-1 away 1-1 at home I reckon, just sneak through.

I find it odd the Baugley and Brooklands Manchester City supporters club coach is used outside the Emirates to promote stanley away travel

I reckon 1-0 stanley yon, n 0-0 at home.

ossy kid · 11-05-2016, 00:01

And who can argue with the champeen? but I'll go for 0-2 away and 1-0 at home both for Stanley.

go for the usual 1 all draw at Wimbledon. hope it doesn,t end up going to penalties next Wednesday, I don,t think my body could stand up to that.

You had me stumped there, as to what the heck are you on about?

Until I looked at 'fishy'!

Never been to Emirates, but guess that you must have, to be able to recognise stadium from that angle!

Cheers Dave

Actually it could be Wembley on second thoughts, both are raised well above the ground on certain sides so need steps/ramps to get to entry level.

Anyway hopefully you will be able to see for yourself on 30th May to avoid all doubt

It's the 'Night Before' the Play Off Leg One v Wimbledon (Away) and the nervous tension is building.
I understand that we have THREE COACHES of supporters travelling South tomorrow, plus we will have others travelling by car in addition to our southern based supporters.
I know that some of our loyal Accy Folk are really disappointed at not being able to travel...... I have spoken to some truly loyal supporters this week who really stretched their limited finances to get to Wycombe the other week and WE ALL KNOW what a difference we ALL made there!
Those of us lucky enough to be going to Wimbledon tomorrow can together still make that difference and be the TWELFTH MAN once again!!!!
What we ALL need to do at Wimbledon is sing twice as LOUD as we did at Wycombe to make up for our friends who cannot make it to the match. We know from the players testimony that we DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
So come on ALL YOU TRAVELLING FAITHFUL.....GIVE IT ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING FOR COLEY, JIMMY AND THE TEAM....MORE THAN YOU HAVE EVER GIVEN BEFORE........TOGETHER WE CAN DO THIS!!!!

Just think what all those guys and gals who have helped to rebuild the 'NEW STANLEY' would feel if we could win promotion to League ONE!.........
Remembering just a few of the names.....Jack Barrett, Bill Parkinson, Jimmy Hinksman, 'Haggis' and his team mates from the 1970's. John Alty, Phil Staley, Eric Whalley, Paul Beck and the team of the 1990's, Grimmy, Brett Ormerod.....then the Conference Winning Team and the boys from our last Play Off venture five years ago!
All of these and many others will be right behind us tomorrow and next Wednesday.....
So feel the pride ONE AND ALL.......it makes me tingle all over with pride what our little club has achieved in the last forty eight years since reforming!
NOW we can make history and go one step further..... Oh Heck, I am getting tearful as a type this!
COME ON STANLEY.........
THREE MORE MATCHES TO YET MORE GLORY.....
ON AND ON STANLEY ON!

ps Admin. Can we change the title of this thread to the "Wimbledon PLAY OFFs Match Thread"?

I have finished my counseling sessions ,but have some appointments penciled in for next week-just incase.

choirboy · 14-05-2016, 07:17

COME ON YOU REDS!!!!

AccyMad · 14-05-2016, 10:05

I'm calm, I'm calm, I'm calm - it's just another game, a bonus extension to the season - could even be a very early pre-season friendly, I'm calm

Who am I kidding!! - collywobbles for this game started at 5 o'clock last Saturday!!!
Hope our lads have put the Stevenage nightmare behind them - if they've been able to do that better than me, we'll be just fine COYR
