Accrington Stanley


It was only a short journey to Accy of about 6 miles and no major hills just wind and rain. As many of you will have seen, it is a small ground just up to conference standard but has a team of battlers who deservedly won the league last year. I do love places like this that is supported by true football fans. The club is kept going by dedicated staff where money is not everything. Rob Hey showed me to the pitch where we took photos and my shirt duly signed before I was soon on my way to Blackburn. It amazed of how the club can keep going with Burnley 6 miles down the hill and Blackburn 5 miles up the hill!
