A new stand is going up replacing the old "cow shed" as soon as the season finishes - not sure about the Coppice End (away end) yet whether its going to have a roof put on - however all away fans must endure a soaking at our place at some point (we had a number of them at Bootham Crescent)...

Still coming back down to earth after last night's celebrations. Its great to see supporters of other clubs congratulating us and wishing us all the best - much appreciated. We've probably all been mocked at some point by people who "support" Premiership clubs for following lower league football...

106 Forest Green at Stanley

Having been to Yeovil on a Tuesday night I don't envy away fans doing that journey. When I heard it was off I assumed that they were in a checkatrade final or something rather than international call ups.

https://www.accringtonobserver.co.uk/news/local-news/reds-15m-takeover-bid-crashes-1269728 Around the same time John Bachelor was sniffing around Mansfield he was trying to buy us and move us to the footballing hotbed of Leigh. The whole article is bizarre...

We have some old farts in the main stand who even when we're 2nd still call Coleman useless and a clown. They'd never say it to him though - they'll shit themselves

216 Cambridge in sunny Accrington

Edgar Davids?? Although Stanley fans didn't see much of him - he got sent off in both games he played against us... Speaking of big names did Neil Lennon play for Wycombe in this division? Some of the best performances I've seen against us came from that Peterborough side that got promoted...

Speaking of fat blokes I remember speaking to a guy at Canvey Island about our promotion chances and I didn't realise it was their manager/owner! The way he was mingling with the fans and the way he dressed I'd no idea he was a football manager but they had a very good team at the time.

Barnet should be ok this Sat - we never ever get the better of Westley no matter who he's managing - its driving us insane!

Our last four games see us play Exeter and Lincoln at home and Wycombe and Swindon away. We also play Mansfield and Notts County over the Easter weekend. I hope we have no injuries in those final few weeks or we may screw it up again!!

The season we came up (2005/6) one of our challengers was Grays Athletic who had a great team. Most of their players e.g. Michael Kightley ended up in the football league. Our game down there was live on SKY which we won - another good team that season was Canvey Island. Looks like both clubs...

Mike Newell was assisting with the coaching of our first team last season. One game he was sat in the dugout on crutches with his leg in a cast. I asked him what he'd done expecting it to be a football injury but he said he'd been pissed and fell down the stairs... Soon after he disappeared from...

Very pleased with our performance today John coleman said in his interview after that Coventry had illness in the squad this week so probably the best time to play them. I don't think your fans should be too despondent at this stage. Great offer by your club today - hopefully some of our...

513 Stanley at Coventry

It probably will be - this is our 12th year (I think) in this league so we've been to some of these grounds many times over. Our fans were already looking forward to going somewhere different before the ticket offer. I know there's 3 coaches full and a number staying in the area. If we can get...

Two huge ones coming up for us now On Tuesday we play our game in hand at home to Swindon followed by Coventry away on sat. Last two home games have seen us go 2-0 down but come back to win 3-2. Very entertaining but it would be nice to enjoy my half time pie in a good mood. Can't complain...

81 Stevenage at Accrington

It will make a nice change to be part of a crowd making records for being the highest rather than the lowest in the division. A couple of years ago some of our attendances were below 1000 so Coventry are entitled to sing "what's it like to see a crowd" at us.
