"...Andy Holt is wanting people to come down early, [before the game]. He's putting bands on and wanting fans to stay behind after the game. We have happy hour after the game, five till seven it is two pound a pint, one pound if we win... ...the Working Men's Clubs are gone, but Accrington are now the centre of the community... ...look at it tonight, Stanley have lost but everyone is still here enjoying themselves."

This is what we need to try and emulate.

So how did that work out then?

Best atmoshere pre game I have experienced for ages, the place was rocking, simple idea, a large marquee, singer singing songs fans can sing along with, cheap beer and 2400 Barnsley fans, brilliant, well done Accy......oh and they got their usual homer for a ref......and no rain!!!!!

They are keeping the same shirt for the 3rd or 4th season in a row as well. They have turned in to the benchmark.
