In a quite good game Stanley won 3-2 I think it was. On your map we entered just above the 'A' or just below the 'C' the open end was for away fans to the right of our grand stand. We enjoyed the day and the hospitality; atmosphere was quite good too. As a kid I was gutted when you failed to get re-elected. Hartlepool finished bottom on the trot plenty of times. They must have had friends in low places . My only other memory in different times was when Dad pointed out your almost derelict ground as we were travelling by rail to Blackburn I think on our 1966 Wembley run. We were at very different points on the compass but that was then and this is now; Sort of pleased fate has brought us together after all these years. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quinnssweetshop Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 How will you celebrate when after being one nil up we ship 2 goals in the last five minutes? Don't worry, that's normal for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've played Burnley, Newcastle, Forest, Leicester, Fulham in other cup matches. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmowl Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Who do you consider to be your traditional rivals? No disrespect but I imagine Burnley and Blackburn haven’t crossed you path very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Jockstrap Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Really looking forward to this game, the marquee idea is spot on. Also looking forward to a good 1 all draw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshy Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 9 hours ago, Stanleyhouse said: So the stadium is situated in a residential area. There's no parking at the stadium but fans usually park in the surrounding streets. (There is no residents only parking) Our fanzone marquee is open for all fans at the stadium with live music before and after the match. The town centre is a 20 minute walk. All pubs are away fan friendly. Fantastic idea that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owlinmad Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I tried to go to your stadium last season but didn't find it. Apparently I should have turned a different corner. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birstall Owl Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Looking forward to this, out of all the away days this season this was the one I wanted to get tickets for. Bar the 90 mins where 22 men kick a pigs bladder about, resulting in us being disappointed should be a good day out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should nominate an Owlstalk member to go on other clubs sites before we play them. What could possibly go wrong. I will volunteer to do it,no one ever objects to my posts...OH on second thoughts....! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tired legs and all that. Our financial issues might be well documented, but the team does still have a coach to take them to away games you know... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
