Pre Season

ddevil2006 · 25-05-2011, 15:59

I know it a bit early, and we have one one player signed up, has any one heard of any friendlies,

smudgie · 25-05-2011, 16:02

I know the fixtures are released on the 17th June, so im assuming as soon as they are announced, a number of pre-season games will be.

Hope we get Clitheroe away again, had a right laugh last season, despite the weather!

Burnley at Home???

Joma Cup again??? Who knows I suppose.

Priority is to get the lads signed up again then we can start worrying about the games .

They may decide not to have any home games and give the pitch time to be sorted. There currently isn't one

Joma Cup I would imagine was down to them being the Kit Supplier at the time?

Would be nice to have a genuine Premiership team at the Crown but the pitch problems possibly would put paid to that?

Maybe no harm in somebody picking the phone up to somebody like Mr.Holloway and seeing if we could all have a day out at the seaside

It is important though I think to have a good and varied pre-season for morale, bonding, fitness, shape and various triallists and then look to hit the ground running for the Season kicking off.

Play every game away sadly so the pitch can be sorted out. After the outing on sky I doubt the league will be understanding after a couple of months to sort it

Away at AFC Darwen on a saturday please, so I can stay in bed til at least 2:30 pm

Thanks for your kind offer. Are you and Chimer doing a prediction league extra for this one? If you are, I'll go for 6-5 to the Stanley with Craney getting a hat trick in the last 10 minutes.

Celtic at the Crown Ground Apparently

shillelagh · 26-05-2011, 18:20

From this weeks accy observer its on the back page ....

John Colemans testimonial will take place in pre season when scottish giants celtic will come to the crown ground. The Reds boss is being rewarded for his 12 years at the helm where he has taken the reds from the unibond first division to the fringes of league one and is setting up a bumper clash in accrington. I spoke to the celtic boss neil lennon this week and he said he would bring a team down so its just a case of finalising the date now said the reds boss. His assistant jimmy bell will also get acknowledgement for his 12 year tenure with the reds as championship side burnley bring a team to the crown ground for his testimonial.

So far we have radcliffe borough on 13 july said coleman. Then there is celtic and burnley to organise and we have others in the pipeline.

so if i come to the match against celtic .. does this mean i can sing 'the sash my father wore'?
