Accrington Stanley...Who are they?

Exactly!

Accrington Stanley are kind of my second team. I've watched them quite a bit over the past few years with my uncle being a season ticket holder, but i've not been recently, and with them certainly needing the cash at the moment and this weekend being an international weekend, me and chris decided we'd go.

They played Grimsby and won 4-1 quite comfortably, so maybe we are lucky charms who knows!

Half time consisted of a game of 'crossbar challenge' which i think most teams have now. What happens at Accy is that a programme number is selected at random, this person then makes themselves known and can have a go at hitting the cross bar from the edge of the box for the chance to win £1000 yes £1000! The programme thing failed, so they had to come and pull someone out of the crowd by throwing a football into the crowd, whoever catches it wins. Simple.

Unfortunatly a girl caught it, nothing wrong with that i hear you cry! However she had been slightly silly that morning and decided to go to the football in the most ridiculous pair of wedge sandals. let's just say she failed miserably on all 3 of her attempt, and the radio station running the competition kept hold of there £1000.

After the match we went into the crown pub to watch the England match. Another comfortable win. Michael owens goal was amazing, and Heskey was certainly a handful (although he should have burried his chance in the first half). Hopefully we'll have more of the same on Wednesday.

I saw my friend Charlene's little baby Mia yesterday too. She is the most adorable thing ever and seemed to love me. She just slept in my arms for a good half an hour, Although she's 2 weeks old, i doubt she does anything else at this point.
