On the 27th July has been called off to protect the pitch ......... i was looking forward to that 



Accrington Stanley




Accrington Stanley




Now that is a big blow!
The Burnley friendly usually pays the July wages.

Not really surprised but glad they're being sensible about it - would have been a shame to undo all the work that's been done on the pitch ............ maybe we could play it on Livy Road instead![]()
the neighbours would complain.............tho whats wrong with hyams or back at peel park lmao


Think you could be right, Jeff. A while ago the pitch looked as though it would be ready, though admittedly not from a close up inspection.Is the control box in it's new position yet ? If not then that could have contributed to the postponment.
didn't i read a statement from DON last week saying that the game could and would go ahead with or without any grass on the pitch? Turning down the biggest money making game of the season, call me cynical but i think there''s more to this!
I think your looking for something that isn't there,i posted a bit a go that the club was working with the contracters who did the work and it was been moniterd on a daily bases,at the end of the day the club wants to have the best pitch possible and if postponing a friendly all be it Burnley then so be it.I know what i'd rarther have and thats the best possibe pitch any time

its in this weeks accy observer on the back page .. now i always thought that the accy observer was printed on a wednesday .. i bought this today about 2pm ... it says that stanley officials inspected the pitch on thursday morning and said it was a no-go.
the club proberly called the game off yesterday and informed the observer of the news shortly after. them the club made an announcement to day to correspond with the observers artical IMHO
