8.7 miles from stanley's ground to turf moor...does that answer your question??

I'm not really bothered but a route finder won't tell you the distance between two points it'll tell you the mileage between them _on the road_

Maybe I'm missing something?

I think Stanley's ascent is great. I'm off to support them in a minute (after several pints first :-)

[Blueboy Downunder]

distance v mileage between two points....not the same thing or am i missing something??

It would certainly seem that way.

you are joking right, dan....how many more times would you like me to read it?? turf moor is not 6 miles from rovers!!

It uses Accy as the marker, who the hell said Turf Moor is 6 miles!

Blackburn 5.5 miles from CROWN GROUND, and Turd Hoor a further half a mile

One would never have guessed

Think along the lines of "as the crow flies".

Currently 3-2 down, at home to Grays.

They couldn't be doing a devon Loch, could they?

[Grabbi Graeme]

Bit of a wobble last couple weeks for Accy but think there are far enough in front to still get promoted.

[den]

League table before todays results. Accy lost and Hereford drew.

1 Accrington Stanley.....P36..........pts81

2 Hereford.....................P35..........pts67

Teams play 42 games.

with their link to milk they aint showing any kind of bottle are they ?

[wilyrover]

Ewood Park is nearer to the Crown Ground than Bolton town centre is to the Breezeblock - which is nearer to Wigan's town centre than Bolton's. Burnden Park used to be only six miles from Gigg Lane, but the Reebock is double the distance. The Breezeblock isn't that far from Preston either.

Interesting fact:  When Stanley get promoted to the football league, they and Rovers will be the nearest English league teams not in the same city.

Old Trafford & The City Of Manchester Stadium are less than five miles apart. The former is in Trafford MBC & the latter is in The City Of Manchester.

Does this count?

I went to the game and Stanley are coasting now IMO. I wouldn't be surprised if they stage managed it so they clinch the title at home.

You're being technical now - not even City fans call manure Trafford United. Also, you could say Nottingham Forest are in West Bridgford, even though they're right across the river from Notts County. They're still part of Nottingham, just like Old Trafford's part of Manchester. The Irwell separates it from Salford. So us and Stanley are the nearest and dearest - not in the same town/city - I think!

Well Wily, I'll agree with you on that point. As neither Blackburn nor Accrington are "cities" then I think you'll need to tighten up the wording in your original statement, then we can have another look at it.

[B.R.F.C]

Well done to Accy Stanley who regained their place in the Football League after a 44 year absence with a 1-0 win away to Woking

[philipl]

Yes well done Accy. Can't wait until they get to play Burnley.

[SouthAussieRover]

Fantastic news.

[colin]

Well done Accy

[Fife Rover]

Congratulations to all connected with Accrington Stanley. This proud club is now back where it rightfully belongs in the Football League after 44 years in the wilderness.

Lets hope they can now build on that and look to further promotions in the not too distant future. Then, who knows, we may see all the Lancashire teams together again in the Premiership.

[Ste B]

What price Stanley V Dingles in League 1 in just over another season

Would be nice.

[adopted scouser]

Well done Accy (hardly surprising given the number of bloody scousers at the club these days

Must have been a sign ever since that kid drank his glass of milk !

[1864roverite]

it now relegates bumley to the 3rd club in East LAncs l
