Smiffy's good company, he'll even stop in lay bys and hold you down and shag you. Anyone up for this?
 

Accrington

Really looking forward to this one now..........

Having never been there before, is there any decent pubs that everyone is meeting or are we going to be ALL OVER THE PLACE ............

1.45pm Update - Its now brightening up at Stanley.
Whole pitch is now covered, most surface water has already drained away, very confident that the game goes ahead!

thank you for your email, we’ve had quite a bit of rain these last couple of days however the pitch has been protected with covers and the rain is expected to stop well ahead of the match and so we are not expecting any problems. have a safe trip up!

The Accrington Stanley official photographer (KIPAX) has been in contact with me. Apparently he has registered on this site, but doesn't have permission to post yet.

He's pulled me up about the "open terrace" references. Apparently the Coppice Terrace is open to the elements, but Brentford fans will have access to another area of terrace which is covered and is pictured here.

As regards the weather, KIPAX says: we have NEVER had a first team game postponed for waterlogged pitch (one abandoned) as we have good drainage system.. however even I am a bit nervy with the current rainfall

You can see other pics of the stadium here and here

Can't see the problem. Pitch looks lovely.

I don't think that people who don't have awaydays in their blood realise why we are so desperate to be there tomorrow. Is it sad or desperate?:D
Click to expand...

Neither sad or desperate. Not sure what it is that drives grown people to want to travel 200 miles into some northern wilderness but I hope it's not sad. It gets into the blood though and the way we've played recently.....well if the players show they're up for it then it's amazing how quickly that transfers to us lot watching.

To be fair he's taken them up through 3 leagues in 8 years, so must have been doing something right - though I notice a few of their fans on their board thinking he's taken them as far as he can, also bare in mind he's coming to that interview on the back of an 8-2 hammering, probably wouldn't look good to be smiling and joking, and he sounded like he had a horrible sore throat! :)

I've seen him on Granada Soccer Night (a programme with even less of a production budget than The Championship and with THE worst presenter ever) and he seemed quite jolly.

22 miles away it's light grey skies. Slightly cold then I'd just got out of bed. Slight wind. Looks promising. Warm last night.
