Accrington, like ourselves, have had work carried out on the pitch during the summer. Ours wasn't ready for the first home game last week and it looks as though Accrington have had similar problems.
They kicked off their league season on Saturday with a home game against Aldershot but the pitch got the thumbs down from the visitors. It was described as a bog by one Aldershot player whilst visiting manager Kevin Dillon said: "I'm just thankful we have no injuries. It was dreadful. They've had four months to get the pitch right and it's inadequate."
Stanley managing director Dave O'Neill confirmed: "We've got the pitch contractor coming back now for the next fortnight to have a real good work on it. We're a little disappointed with it. We've spent a lot of money and we expected it to be a little better."
Accrington then, like us, will be hoping for a much better surface for their next home game and with work continuing at the Crown Ground it could mean our reserve game against Oldham is in doubt.
