just got back and my opinion is that the M6 sucks, so did Stanley.

Every ball was battered from our defenders to theirs looking for big Mullers. Mangy and Boco were not the men to hit aerial balls at. I think we were looking for the ball over the top every time and succeeded with none. It took FGR to score before we realised we were in a game. On the one occasion that we got the ball on the deck we scored. The ball was played around until a cross went in that about five people went for and the keeper fumbled it. The keeper and the ball were both poked home and in truth was probably a foul. That was our only meaningful attempt on target. Another good turnout from Accy with around 200 making the trip (cue 'proper' clubs having some fun about Champions Elect only taking 200 away, how dare we go up on crowds like that). Ultra's on song particularly in the first half. Second half faded away but we had the wind and rain in our faces and zero happening on the field.

And the M6 sucked

yes henry i was first home im sure...but no computer..

my wisdom on the game would be that it was not our best performance but forest green despite their league position are never easy tobeat at home and were worthy of a point last night they probably had the edge in terms of passion ( they need the point/s as much if not more than we do) but the steamroller which is stanley rolls on with woking next en route.
it is perhaps easy to get frustrated at games like last night that on paper should be 3 points but this late in the season trips to clubs at the bottom are no foregone conclusion and point away from home is always welcome.....on stanley on

Perhaps someone with more time on their hands than I have would care to look it up and rewrite it to suit our current situation.

Now that we've seen the lyrics (wonderful midnight research) a rewrite of that looks rather challenging, but 3/2/1 Wheels on My Wagon seems quite appropriate .....

4 wheels on my wagon
And we're still rolling along
HUFC are after me
But we don't care, we're nearly there
And we're singing the Stanley song

Stanley, Stanley, Stanley aye,
This is the club that wouldn't die
3 points away is division 2
And we can watch the playoffs
Without having to cry

3 wheels on my wagon
And we're still rolling along
HUFC are after me
Beat by Grays, in a daze
But we're still singing the Stanley song

Stanley, Stanley, Stanley aye,
etc.

2 wheels on my wagon
And we're still rolling along
HUFC are after me
FGR a pain, points down the drain,
But we're still singing the Stanley song

Stanley, Stanley, Stanley aye,
etc, etc

Only questions are, how many wheels did we have on the wagon to start with, and how many have fallen off since Staveros did his "It's all over" post ?

Apparently the floodlights and pitch are undergoing a major revamp over the Summer, so you should see an enormous improvement.
