They are on sale outside the stadium for £3. However they will sell out quickly. They are on sale from the club shop too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irritableowlsyndrome Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I live in Burnley, moved there from the South East in August 2000, just after we got relegated from the Prem. At the time, my nightmare scenario was that I would eventually see Wednesday play in the league at Stanley and tomorrow the nightmare comes true. To be fair, living so close I do get to a few games at Whambley and it is the most welcoming ground for away fans that I have ever been to. Stanley may be a little club but it is well run, a real community asset and a great model for other clubs to follow. We are in for a treat tomorrow.

Remember every club is bigger than ours and it was only 20 years ago we were playing Frickley, Worksop and Emley. Accrington has only got a population of 36,000 too. I presume out of those 36,000 (the ones who like football) they are just as likely to support Burnley, Blackburn, Man Utd, Man City or Liverpool than Stanley?

We have 1200 season ticket holders. There was a lost generation of fans when we had no club or were just playing in lower non-league in front of 500 diehards. When I was at school (1980s) only a few followed Stanley and they were dragged along by my dad and I. One of those mates is now a Wednesday season ticket holder! Now I see those friends who were following the big teams back then, watching Stanley and taking their kids. Each year we give a free Stanley shirt to every Year 3 kid in the Borough. (1200 in total) It's great to see the kids playing out in them. Something I never saw as a kid. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
