Only time I went to the Abbey Stadium was in the early 90s and had to make my way through livestock to reach the ground. However, we won 4-3 (Windass hat-trick). Jurassic Park!
How come Scunny need another new ground so soon anyway? Was Glanford Park just really badly designed at the time or what?
The land its on is next to the retail park. They wanna extend the retail park, the lands worth more. They're only moving round the corner.
It's not really fine, it's a ****hole, I think it started off as a Texas DIY and they just cut a hole in the roof and bunged in a pitch a few seats. Patty probably used to work there.
Ah, the cows/heiffers on Coldham Common. Dodging the cowpats on the way to the stadium is part of its charm (perhaps the only part...). I remember going on a rainy October evening in the 97/98 season. We won 1-0 with a late Mark Greaves goal. The only away win all that season.
I'm quite happy with Accrington away, the last time we played them was 56 years ago. please log in to view this image
Yes. Get in. Almost a perfect draw if we start the new season at either Blackburn or Burnley . Another new ground now to scratch off my list.
Could be. A standout draw. If it is a tv game it cud be a Monday night game or even a Thursday depending on what PL games sky pick that week.
