Intrepid Kev and Travelling Tone vist...Accrington Stanley

Seeing as I no longer seem to be able to get to away games, I was on husband duty in Paris this time, I have now decided to dedicate an ongoing thread to my wandering buddies, henceforth known as "Intrepid Kev and Travelling Tone visit.." Of course if I mange to tag along, I will revert it back to "Away Days", as I feel I can give a first hand account, instead of just relaying the tales told by my two favourite explorers. This week they didn't stray too far, as they nipped over the pennines into pie country, namely Accrington, Lancashire to see the Bantams take on the Stanley. It took the pair a while to find the ground, as it literally appears to be in some one's back yard. It was nearly a wasted journey for the pair, as on arrival they saw a sign saying ticket only, and both had not seen fit to purchase one before travel. Luckily a steward overheard them talking to a local bobby, and manged to get them one sorted. By now they has worked up an appetite, and were horrified to find that although they were smack in the middle of country, and the main stand was even sponsored by a local pie maker, there were no such savouries to had in or around the ground!! Instead they had to make do with a burger from a van just outside the ground. As the picture shows, and unimpressed Intrepid gave it a lowly 3/10. The ground itself was as garden shed as they come, and at 5,057, must be the smallest park in the leagues. Things even looked more gloomy for our duo, as with ten minutes remaining, Stanley looked like taking all three points, leading by seemingly insurmountable two goals to nil. But they had not figured on a resurgent Big Baz Conlon, who set up the first, scored the second, and was on the pitch when Thorne slotted home a last minute winner. Intrepid Kev reckons Travelling Tone, who is not Bazzas biggest fan, was even singing "There's only one Barry Conlon!", but Helmet totally refutes this allegation, although he did concede our bald headed hero had turned the match. Next up is Darlington, and it looks I will be able to make this one, and is closely followed up with a trip to Cleethorpes to watch the Bantams take on Grimsby town, another trip I should be able to make.
