    I still think £65 for an adult with two kids at college or £55 with two 12 to 17 year olds is taking the piss, or £20 for a pensioner. That's before travel and food .
    We will still sell out though.

    Old Trafford is sold out every week and that’s ultra shit.
    Sometimes you just need fans to turn up through thick and thin.

    With the Season Ticket and a Harrogate one, then six games in one month is enough. Unlike some l am happy to go to evening matches. Avoiding Accrington will mean the only free weekend to visit family.

    Coleman sacked.

    However, not convinced they'll get any 'new manager bounce' as a lot of the fans are fuming at the decision - particularly the '45 word' statement from the club.

    Absolute legend at that club he will be sadly missed.
    Had the pleasure of meeting him a few years ago what a lovely man and a true gentleman.

    Combined service of 23 years over 2 stints, which included promotion to the football league and promotion to League One. That won’t happen again during our lifetimes I bet (the long service, not the promotions)

    What an awful statement by the club, that is type of statement you'd put out for someone who has been sacked for gross misconduct not one of the best managers in the football league of the past 20 years and a club legend. I wouldn't be surprised if Andy Holt is behind that and why he has left Twitter according to this article https://fanbanter.co.uk/accrington-owner-andy-holt-deletes-his-twitter-after-sacking-manager-after-10-years-in-charge/

    I'd be very worried for next season if I was an Accrington fan with the budget likely to be slashed and if they don't get another manager like John Coleman who can maximise a budget they'll be in the relegation zone

    Yes. He's one of the few lower league managers I have a lot of time for. I think him and owner fell out early this season and once that starts, there's only one winner.

    I’m not sure the statement from Sparks was any better when he sacked Stuart.

    I'm not really sure what was wrong with that. The language is fine and much better than saying "terminated with immediate effect.". It also had quotes from both Ryan Sparks thanking him for his time and a parting message from McCall. https://www.bradfordcityafc.com/news/2020/december/city-part-company-with-mccall/
    The Accrington statement had none of that

    Yes big fall out earlier and I think they are struggling financially which Andy Holt hinted some months ago

    Just seems like a stock statement when any manager gets fired

    Gary Bowyer and Derek Adams allegedly both in the running for the Accrington hot seat.
    Appointment one of those before Saturday and up the atmosphere from the away end.

    No problem with Bowyer, nice guy who I genuinely want to do well. Just has crap tactics when the going gets tough. Deluded Derek is a different ball game.

    Deluded Derek who actually has said the same things about the owners / ceo as some of the fans.
