Hi,
My name is Robert and I am the Supporter Liaison Officer at Stanley.
Saturday, sees the first meeting of our two clubs and your fans will be made very welcome on your visit to East Lancashire.
If you're travelling to the match and you've got any questions about your visit then post them on here and I'll do my best to answer.

Good Morning Robert
Looking forward to visiting you on Saturday. I was also very impressed by the SUFC "branded" powerpoint presentation for away supporters on your web site. Very classy too.
I am sure that we will give you a welcome as equally warm in March by which time we will both have already secured automatic promotion, of course!
In reality and just to momentarily pause the spirt of "bonne amie" particularly those traveling on Saturday will be desperately hoping that it will mark the turning point of our fortunes this season!!
Appreciate you taking the time to send the message.

Hi Robert ,
Would it be possible for Accrington Stanley to give our poor defence a slender chance of keeping a clean sheet by NOT playing any forwards , or indeed anybody capable of attacking play , on Saturday please ? A nice pleasant 0-0 would be much appreciated !

So nobody has any questions.
So here goes with my advice.
If you're driving, park in the surrounding streets. There's no resident only parking and it's safe and free. Or there's event parking for a donation just 50 yds past the entrance to the stadium.
Your supporter coach will park on Livingstone Rd just a 2 minute walk to the away turnstiles which open at 1:30pm.
However you should all visit "Coleys" which is open from 12pm. Scan your ticket on entering and when it's time for you to go to the away end just go pitch side - no need to go via the turnstiles. You'll meet a great bunch of Stanley fans in there. They'll chat all afternoon and make you really welcome.
There's no physical programme but we do have a free online programme. I'll put a link on here on Friday afternoon.
The Supporters Trust will be selling match badges and they have a table in Coley's.
Check out our home shirt- it's a brick wall design because the strongest bricks in the world used to be made here. (Used in the foundations of the Empire State Building and Blackpool Tower)
Safe journeys to sunny East Lancashire.

Result aside, one of the most pleasant away trips we've had in the league. Friendly people throughout the club, and I loved what they did for Frances' birthday. Classy throughout.

Echo to all that...all the stewards and staff at Stanley were a pleasure to deal with!

Looks like they are keeping up their high standards.I remember going there with Worcester in the 4th Qualifying Round of the FA Cup back in 2005.A guy got on the supporters coach to welcome us and explain everything etc. Really nice touch.
(And we got a draw and won the replay!!)
