Any news on the state of the pitch? Looking forward to my first visit to Accy a founding member of the Football League in 1888 - one of the original 12. Didn't they reform at some stage to become Accrington Stanley? Yes originally formed as Accrington

This game will not go ahead. Why, surely one day's rain on Friday won't definitely make it postponed? [ Agreed - I think the game will be on!! but the pitch will certainly be heavy!!

Seriously can't see this one going ahead. The weather forecast for Accrington is heavy rain all week, pretty much non-stop. Given that their pitch has fallen foul to the weather in 4 of their last 5, I'd be shocked if it's playable on Saturday. BBC forecast suggests heavy rain Wednesday and Friday - Ok on Tuesday and Thursday - showers possible Saturday. Fingers crossed it will be ok as it was continuous rain that caused the problems pre Xmas - and pitch has recovered a lot since.

Just spoke to a member of staff at Accy and they were hopeful that the game will be on as the pitch has had time to recover!!! Fingers crossed!

BBC Weather predicts a lot of rain in the North West midweek - could put the game in doubt as they have had a lot of home games cancelled recently!!??

The crown is near the ground and the grey horse pub further down Whalley road Crown looks a welcoming pub from the website - football friendly with very strong links to the club. I think the Yorkshire contingent at least 6 will be having a pre-match drink here!!!

Yes very much a 'bogey' team - that is why good support in a small Accrington crowd could be a deciding factor!!!

Important and potentially very difficult game next week. Great away support at Oxford and a big following guaranteed at Pompey. Accrington not so attractive!! but a good away following would certainly boost the team. Who is going? COYB

Any indication of how many tickets sold/left. What was the official allocation - seems to be a variety of figures quoted.

Anyone know how many have been sold? I am wondering if pay on the day will be 'safe'?
