The Football.....

[Accy cyclist]

No, Man City have a traceable linear history. Of course people recognise the Accrington name name, they'd hardly start up again and call themselves Newquay Stanley, being in Accy an all.......... I think AFC Halifax Town FC is the same club as Halifax Town FC & I think Darlington 1883 is the same club as Darlington FC. But Accy & BPA went bust, they ceased to play, at any level, for a long period. These are now new clubs IMO.

Good luck in the play offs.

We aren't in the play offs. There are four matches left so nothing's been decided apart from Northampton's promotion. Oh i get it. You're hoping we only make the play offs then lose them, You seem to have a problem with "little" Accrington Stanley.

Wow its refreshing to read a thread about dead football clubs that confirm that going out of business = dead that doesn't seem to be the case in Scotland these days

There were no subliminal messages within "Good luck in the play offs", that's exactly what I meant.

Meaning you hope we'll not get automatic promotion. That's how i saw it.

I didn't realise how close Accy were to the auto spots, however you are so grumpy that I now hope they lose at Wembley to a last minute goal................an own goal.

Of course people recognise the Accrington name

Accrington Stanley who are they ?

There appears to be a reason for his grumpiness and you might want to rein in the piss-taking a bit.

Not just for the Hammers.

Another old ground I'll miss, replaced by a soulless 'facility'. I've seen Leicester there a few times, most recently last season. We played Charlton there a few years ago, when their ground was being redeveloped. If memory serves we were close to promotion, but the party didn't happen because we lost!*I also watched my son play there and he now lives a few minutes walk away from Upton Park (yes, I know....)

Sad to see it go and another blow to traditional football IMHO. I will always support LCFC, but am seriously considering not even bothering to try and get tickets next season and to go watch a 3rd or 4th tier club instead.

* Edit. 1992! We lost 2 - 0

I'm not a West Ham fan but I've always had a soft spot for them (nearest 1st Division/Premier League team to Brentwood) plus my grandad supported them. But I saw my first-ever professional game there in the late 60s/early 70s when Tottenham beat WH 0-1 with a goal by Jimmy Pearce, IIRC.

Hope West Ham have success at the Olympic Stadium: they have great and loyal fans.

I didn't realise Bradford we're in the play off spots till today. Therefore i hope they think they've secured a play off spot on the last day of the season, then news comes through the tannoy that the team below them have got a last minute winner and stole the last play off spot from them!

That's how i came to support Accrington. I watched Blackburn climb from the old 3rd division to win the Premiership, but after that it went kind of "Make way for the new fans and the big investors"! I stopped watching the Rovers and football in general till 8 years later when non league Stanley got through to the 1st round of the FA Cup against Huddersfield. Did you go to the 1992 Rovers Leicester play off final at Wembley when Rovers won promotion? I was there that day.

He's seen at Stanley quite often with his young lad, both wearing Stanley scarfs.

Surely a PM would do.

He's supporting Villa at the moment.
