Accrington Friendly

[Bordeauxclaret]

Accrington seem to have moved on from playing us pre season.
They’ve got one vs Marseille this time.

Quite a coup for them.

At Salford’s Rugby League ground strangely.

[ClaretTony]

I think it might be us who have moved on

[Bordeauxclaret]

Perhaps we both have.

[theroyaldyche]

Id rather play marseille than any of our shite pre seasom fixtures

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

Never get folk who complain about friendlies they are just fitness exercises regardless of the opposition.

Stanley have just had their pitch relaid, so it wouldn't be at their place, but not sure why its being played at a rugby ground.

a strange venue but the Wham stadium is out of bounds to football as the new pitch grows

Andy Holt mentioned yesterday they were looking for a suitable ground that was big enough for them to use.

Surprised they couldn’t find one closer than Salford

(Is that the one by the Trafford Centre?)

[ElectroClaret]

There's some dump down the motorway not usually doing owt.

[Bordeauxclaret]

I did wonder why it wasn’t at their own place.

That's the one, you get a good view going north over Barton bridge . Think it's called the AJ Bell stadium.

Yes, it is. The “A J Bell” stadium

Used to be a nightmare getting there for the rugby union on a Friday. 6 years back now though so i hope its improved

It holds 12000 which is double what Accy holds but would enough travel that far to make it worthwhile?


It would be like us using Old Trafford to play against Athletico

Probably get a decent amount of neutral interest if they advertise it well enough

I was at the AJ Bell stadium last year, watching Simple Minds in concert. It’s a decent ground. Easy to get to, now they built the new bridge over the Ship Canal.
