1, the new season tickets will be available to pick up before the start of the season, keep an eye on the website for an announcement when they arrive

2, as a general rule we will always play in red unless there is a clash with a home side when we are away from home

3, john coleman is ultimately responsible for the pre-season programme and we are delighted that we are now able to attract such strong sides from high level opposition. this also allows the management team to see how trialists, and indeed our own players perform against full time professionals. of course there is also a benefit in playing higher profile teams in that it brings in a little more gate money, which is very helpful to the club after two months of paying full time wages with no football income. there will be a number of other lower profile friendlies away from home before the start of the season, however i would suggest there is more confidence to be taken from a good performance against a championship side than there is in a series of wins over opposition from the lower leagues (or even another convincing win over the ultras!)

I noticed last night that we now have new tv's in the sports bar, what has been done with the old ones which where in working order?

rob · 20-07-2005, 12:02

The official Stanley website has won a prestigious award this year, which everyone can feel proud of. However, there are numerous occasions where I've read information on other sites (BBC, ConfGuide, etc), which has never been mentioned on the official site.

Would it be possible to keep the official site more accurately up-to-date with the latest goings-on at the club on a day-to-day basis, including injuries to players, etc?

I realise that anything extra involves using up precious time, but the official site should be at the cutting edge of club information.

point taken, unfortunately sometimes things do get to the press before we get a chance to put them on the site, for example coley talked about the posibility of cav going for a scan in the near future to the bbc online journalist earlier this week, which is why it is on the bbc website.

fair point, will try harder to keep the stories coming :-)

According to the NLP and North West Counties website a fixture for Saturday 30th July 2005 is Blackpool Mechanics v Accrington Stanley. Is this game taking place, and if so, what sort of team is being sent for this game ?

Wynonie Harris · 28-07-2005, 11:15

What's the score with Cav's injury? He went for his scan on Monday afternoon, but, as far as I'm aware, we've heard nothing since.

it took a while for the results to come through, i have put an update on the official site now...

Rob,

Undisclosed fees? why are they?

rob · 29-07-2005, 14:07

simply because at least one club involved doesn't want to make it public knowledge, which to be honest is quite often because buyer doesn't want people thinking they're spending too much, or seller doesn't want people thinking they aren't getting enough. as stated earlier though, if a deal wasn't right for accrington stanley then it wouldn't happen.

Quite a few people mentioned over the last week or two that we have a new Mascot...Seemed to be even more common knowledge this weekend.. hmmm strange no mention to the fans ?

Fraser the Eagle.. I am "guessing" Fraser eagle already have a mascot and are sending it to games.. But thats only a guess...

Can you elaborate Rob ?

rob · 31-07-2005, 15:16

fraser the eagle is still being finalised but will be 'launched' shortly, a brand new mascot developed and produced by our travel and youth education programme sponsors.

further details to follow, with info on first available photo opportunity to our club photographer as soon as we have it :-)
