West Ham V Accrington

[Stanleyfan]

Really wish I could get to this one but can't get time off work along with a number of other people I know of. Not to worry its not like they're going to be moving grounds again anytime soon! We've sold about 600 tickets apparently though which doesn't sound much but its not bad for us...
I have no idea what sort of team Hammers will put out after their bad run of results but our lads are full of confidence after a couple of wins.
Maybe - just maybe…

Accrington win and West Ham fans go on a rampage in Westfield.

Make it happen, Stanley.

600+ would be excellent for you lot fair play.

600 is good .....London , midweek ....never mind a day off....its half a weeks wages that day out ! ...... is the Olympic Stadium any easier to get to than all the other London grounds ?

Yes in terms of transport links, no in terms of once you reach the station, getting from there to the ground. Also, if the coaches come in via the way I imagine they would from the A12 side, bet that'll be a pain.

You have to fight your way through Stratford station and the Westfield shopping centre, which on matchdays will be heaving with not just football fans but regular people shopping etc. I went for one of the Europa League games and its a good 20min walk from Stratford station though Westfields and the old Olympic Park to the actual ground.

PS I hope Accrington do them.

I once went to Palace from Osterly.... it would without doubt have been quicker to walk it . And we lost 6 - 1 ! .... from up here , the train makes the most sense , Accrington will have got in at Euston ...looks easy on the tube map !

Accrington you poor bastards. That is really harsh.

 

[hellogregory]

96th fucking minute! Very harsh on them.

 

[Super_horns]

If they were going to lose probably prefer to be beaten in normal time than suffer extra time and penalties..

Still frustrating for Accrington no doubt.

A long journey back for the travelling fans now…
I listened on the radio but wish Id been able to get there - we seemed to give a good account of ourselves and matched West Ham for most of it and it seems the home support were very frustrated.
My heart sank when I'd heard they'd got a free kick in the last seconds - Ive supported Stanley long enough to know what happens.
Anyway back to the League!!

I went along last night, chance to get the ground ticked off on the cheap, Accrington were excellent and it was very, very harsh on them, better team with the better chances for 70 minutes before the legs started to go a bit, didn't come and put 10 men behind the ball and played some really good stuff, definitely deserved better than that. Great support too.

Payet just oozed class when he came on though, Callieri on the other hand might be the worst top flight player I've ever seen.

 

[TommoCUFC]

Yep I went too last night, same reasons as above. West Ham were absolutely atrocious bar Payet and Lanzini. Zaza, Feghouli, Calleri and Tore are all robbing livings in the premier league. Accrington really should've won the game, two good chances unmarked on the edge of the box, and one scrambled off the line. Cracking bunch of fans and a great performance, Accrington should be proud

Dunno, maybe from the perspective of fatigue going into the next game, or the time you get home as a fan, but in another sense, losing on penalties to a Premier League side is a reasonable second to actually beating them. We lost to Liverpool on penalties last year and that almost felt like a win.
