Re: Accrington Stanley

When you're on a good run you want to be playing as much as possible. Well we were on a good run in 1962 but the pile up of fixtures in March/April cost us the league and maybe the FA Cup. I imagine Stanley have a small squad which may also affect them. If they go up as champions then I think John ...

Another 3 pts today but just been looking at their fixtures. For some reason they have no game next week but then play 7 matches in April and have some tough games with Mansfield Wycombe and Swindon away and Exeter Lincoln and Notts Co at home.

Not sure gay couples would agree with losing husband and wife, common references when a gay man refers to his partner or woman to her partner respectively.
