We need to do these
FACT
We will be back to winning ways 2-0

 

MATCH FACTS

1. This will be only the second ever competitive meeting between Hull City and Accrington Stanley; the two sides drew 2-2 in the 2015-16 League Cup first round in the other before the Tigers won 4-3 on penalties.
2. Hull City have only lost one of the last eight occasions they faced an opponent for the very first time in league competition (W4 D3), although that was away at Fleetwood Town last month, a 1-4 defeat.
3. Hull City haven’t suffered consecutive home defeats below the top two tiers of English football since April 2002 under Jan Molby (3).

 

I reckon slow start because we think it’s Accrington Stanley and theyll be well up for it. Then we grow and go on and score.

 

Terylene was invented in Accrington in 1941.

Accrington derives its name from the acorns on the oak trees which were abundant there, "Acorntown". There is no other town in the world which shares its name.

The first penalty kick in English League football was taken in 1891 following the introduction of a new rule on handling the ball. It was successfully taken against the Accrington team by a Wolverhampton player.

Accrington Stanley were so called because their first meetings were held in the Stanley Arms pub in Stanley Street. The Stanley family, several of whom were called Earl Derby, were friends of the Peel family, who owned the land the street was built on, one of whom was Sir Robert Peel, is credited as being the founder of the British Police Force.

Jim Bowen, went to Accrington Grammar School and later taught in the town.

 

After signing his contract I'm half expecting KLP to get injured in training today, out for a month!

No, I assume he'll start and the rest of the side'll be up for it. 3-1 City.

 

Don't forget David 'Bumble' Lloyd. Born in Accrington, played for England, probably their most celebrated supporter!

 

Erm, we played Accrington Stanley 25 times between 1930 and 1959, we've only ever lost against them once in a home game (and once in an away game too). Chazz, you aren't one of these who thinks that football started in 1992 when the Prem was created are you?

 

Ye I know it was just a few stats
I suppose as they liquidated it then it’s a new club now.

 

Hull City 2-3 Accrington Stanley

 

Toughy. Another pair of dropped points. 2-2.

 

Can't help thinking that getting the KLP situation will bring a certain amount of harmony back .. head says draw .. heart says win .. let's not even consider the other alternative !

 

Nothing but a win after today's good news, 3-0

Klp
Wilks
Greaves

 

Probably their finest offering to the world....

 

As well as Lancashire and England, he turned out for his hometown club in the heyday of the Lancashire League, when it attracted the best cricketers from around the world. Accrington count among their former professionals Wes Hall, Ian Chappell and Shane Warne.

 

KLP re-signing means a 4-0 is guaranteed.

 

A hyphen in the 2nd word would make the world of difference to that statement!

 

Good job Barchullona isn't around...

 

Give it time...

 

With your score forecasts this season we would be bottom of the league!
