Fantastic - well done to all - manager, coaches, players, officials and fans. I feel so happy for all who kept the flame burning and
"we are football league, say we are football league"

Will be at the first game back in the league. Wearing my Stanley shirt as always with pride today but maybe with just a little more than normal

ON STANLEY ON

Had mine on last night and still havnt worked out how I got in to the pubs in Falkirk with "no football colours allowed" especially as some have bouncers on the door. The team made me proud and though rough this morning it was most definately worth it. Ouzing Pride Aplenty.

wot a day yesterday!

Can't believe this!!! I remember trips to (no disrespect) Trafford, Flixton and, yes, Frickley and people's puzzled looks - "What's the name of that league you're in?" Many a time in those days dreaming of Stanley reaching the Conference in my lifetime. And now....it's the actual Football League! I can't begin to thank everyone concerned too much, especially one Mr John Coleman. His record since coming to the club is, literally, unbelievable and with limited resourses too. His name, like those of the players, are now secured in football history for all time. How appropriate too that Paul Mullin scored the history-making goal - great servant to the club! On, Stanley, on!

Wanna say WELL DONE ACCRINGTON STANLEY back where we belong!!!!!!! was hoping to see the tour bus on the way home on the motorway as i spent day in the Derbyshire/Leicestershire border but saw every other FC fan tour bus tho pmsl!!! I think its going to be really interesting & certainly putting wind up some of our neighbouring teams worrying over losing fans to us now lol

fc:stanley · 16-04-2006, 12:38

Erm they are the less proud of our promotion i think judging by their boards they're proudly hiding that disgruntle & yet getting over protective over their club as i had insider info this morning from a Burnley supporter calling us now 'just another club rival' [as for battle for fans is concerned] & a small congrats too

lmfao

Interesting point though of Stanleys promotion whether it will rub noses as far as fan competition

lol, get facts right before posting, Titanic went down on the 14th

LongLostSon · 16-04-2006, 13:13

one of those days you remember for the rest of your life - and well done to the Woking club for graciously allowing their pitch to host the celebrations - as their Safety Officer said to me - " it's the least we could do"

fc:stanley · 16-04-2006, 19:36

one of those days it was indeed , goin onto the pitch and enjoying the relief of every accrington stanley supporter that we had won it because it was tense at the end and the absolute delight aswell. thankyou eric walley , thankyou!

Got back to my car parked in Langdale on Saturday at 4.50 pm just in time to hear Graham Taylor on 5-Live saying... " and we welcome back Accrington Stanley to the Football League". It was a wonderfully uplifting moment, and after all these weeks of not daring to think it through, the sheer enormity of our achievement in rising from the ashes finally hit me. Later that evening, a chance meeting with another Stanley fan in Zeffirelli's Jazz Club in Ambleside, who was proudly wearing his Stanley scarf in the somewhat sophisticated surroundings, was a great moment. We're everywhere, folks!

ossy kid · 16-04-2006, 20:50

Should have gone on Friday. Bow fell and the Crinkles where fantastic. It also allowed me to recover painfully racked out in front of the PC. The one and only regret is I wasn't there on the day......
