[Archived] Accrington Stanley 3.00 Saturday 11 July

Who's going to the Crown Ground tomorrow?

[JHRover]

Yes. Wonder what sort of following there will be. Last year was a great turn out for Rovers fans for a midweek friendly.

£15 seems a bit steep for a pre-season game but I suppose Stanley need as much as they can get.

A lot of Stanley fans are staying away because the friendly has been played regularly and Rovers are not as big a fixture as they were.

[K-Hod]

I'll be honest, despite living quite close I'm not bothering, I've been to Stanley many times before watching Rovers' pre-season games. I'll be going to Oldham I think though, new ground for me.

Plus, a big weekend next weekend that I could do to save pennies for!!

[chaddyrovers]

I'm going.

Expect around 500 Rovers fans to be there

Not bothered about the ticket prices tbh.

I think the other away pre season games are 10 pounds each

[ABBEY]

They can shove £15 up there greedy arses.

[Madon]

I'll be there, hoping to see Ryan Nyambe as I've not seen him live yet and only heard good things about him, my mate plays for Stanley as well so looking forward to seeing how he does.

[Jock]

Prenton Park next Friday night is £10, but there's the tunnel tax to factor in.

Elton Welsby whatever happened to him?

I agree. Admission prices to pre season friendlies should be sensible and Accrington are exploiting the fact that Rovers will have a decent following. I think I am right in saying a season ticket at Ewood in some areas works out a lot less than this per game.

Needless to say I won't be going.

All of £1.70...........

[Jock]

There and back? One way is no good🚣

[matt83]

Shockingly expensive that. There's obviously no feel good factor, 5 years of misery and no light at the end of the tunnel etc etc. howvever, nice weather, 1st friendly, very local, still have a semblance of a team so I fully expect us to sell out that away terrace or as near as dam it plus several in the side stands. Might be ambitious but I'm going for 1,000-2,000 rovers.

[tomphil]

There's usually about 1k to 1.5k Rovers at the Accy friendlies and about 500 Stanley and a good few assorted Dingles hanging about going off past games.

[Madon]

These are the 2 sides I'd like to see given 45 minutes each...

Steele

Nyambe Hanley Kilgallon Olsson

Marshall Williamson O'Sullivan Conway

Rhodes Brown

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eastwood

Henley Duffy Lenihan Spurr

Green Evans Lowe Taylor

Mahoney Gestede

[joey_big_nose]

I think Coker and Furman are in line to get a game.

Who are Green and Mahoney?

[LewisF]

Who are Green and Mahoney?

Academy (been benched a few times for 1st team) players

You're right, I forgot about those...

Green is a reserve winger who is supposedly faster than Theo Walcott.

Connor Mahoney was signed from Stanley a couple of seasons ago and has only featured for the first team once (I think) as a second half substitute vs Man City in the cup.

Green is nowhere near that sort of pace. Can play up front or wide midfield. Mahoney was hugely disappointing last season and struggled to make much impression. Hopefully he'll improve this time out.

[T J Hooker]

To be fair Accrington do need all the money they can get, that said I wont be going(but if it was under a tenner I might have)

[ABBEY]

So do we and I wouldn't pay 15 at home for a friendly unless it was barca

[chaddyrovers]

Abbey, can I ask why you think 15 pounds is too much to pay?

[LewisF]

Abbey, can I ask why you think 15 pounds is too much to pay?

I'm going anyway, but £15 for a friendly match against a League 2 side is slightly substantial in my opinion.

[ABBEY]

Why ? Because it's a glorified kick about .

Go on tell me Chaddy let me guess**siggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh** you think it's worth every penny

[chaddyrovers]

Abbey, I was asking you. That was all.

Thanks for reply.
