Accy drew yesterday at home to Charlton,so that's a loss,a win and a draw from our first three games in League 1. I would've taken that if offered before the start of the season. Out of the four promoted teams only Coventry are higher than Stanley and that's by a one more goal scored margin. Luton and Wycombe are in the relegation places with just one point each. Yesterday's attendance was something like 2260. Some fans were moaning saying we should be getting more,but that's around 700 more than we'd have got if we'd have played the match in League 2. Charlton brought around 400 fans which was the norm for that division. 700 more fans is around a 40% increase on the League 2 days.
Edit.... I'll be going to our away game at Fleetwood in a month's time,not just for the game itself,but for the 'battle of the Scousers'! Our manager is a bit of a hot head and him and Joey Barton squaring up to each other in the dug outs should be fun!
You can check out L-S-A whilst you are there!

I would be interested to see it. Last I read about it was a season long study of a Scandinavian league which found nothing significant. This was a few years back when astro was nowhere near as good as it is these days.

And elsewhere in the rest of the country. Short sighted of the Premier League imo to want another year of testing at the very least.

Cheers Barasic! Another reason for me to have a soft spot for Croatia.

I am sure it has been known for years that Astro pitches cause certain injuries more than natural grass.

I'l be going there soon, drive to Blackpool and then me and my son will ride up to Fleetwood on folders, mainly because there is knack all to do to keep you occupied in Fleetwood between parking up & waiting for the KO, yep I've been to the market thank you................
Bradford lost again but had a whopping 2 shots yesterday in a one sided game v Southend. Pics appearing on the forum of our clearly bonkers egomaniacal chairman shouting what appears to be instructions to our hapless "manager", the one who we poached from our under 18's after a 3 month world wide search for anybody who'd work under the wacko Germans.

In the early 80's I can recall leaving every game with blood streaming down my legs and sand encrusted in the wounds!
Things have come on a lot and as an ex-junior coach, I've never seen one injury caused by 3G turf but I've seen hundreds caused by ill maintained grass pitches. I'd have it in L1 & 2 it makes so much sense.

That's the thing that doesn't convince me, that it's "known". That's fine to say but I've not seen the evidence to back it up. I'll find the link to that Scandi study later. It didn't look at long term effects from what I remember.
I'd expect more knee wear on the old plastic turf but on 3G? Possibly, but it has a lot of give, more than a summer grass pitch and is always predictable.

Keep up old man, we're on 4G these days. So I guess the pitches can travel through time or something?

Oh well, game over.
I will now seek entertainment via the mummification of Katic.

Descent battle that would have had us struggling last season so definite improvements from our point of view. Usual mix of penalty claims, goals that never were and basic defensive errors, but that 3rd goal was class.
