Took advantage of the international break and went to Accrington Stanley v Cheltenham Town.

Probably the smallest league ground I have yet visited and has the feel of a large non league club. Decent game which Stanley should have won comfortably. They took the lead after Cheltenham were reduced to 10 men midway through the second half but then conceded a last minute equaliser when they had hardly been troubled.

Went and had a look at their old grounds as well before the kick off. The cricket pitch were Accrington played as founder members of the original football league in 1888 and Peel Park. Peel Park is still in use as a park pitch and there was actually a game being played on it.

Still got 24 English grounds left on my list as well as my two remaining Scottish ones but starting to step it up now. Got hold of a ticket for Huddersfield v Sheff Wed next Sunday lunchtime which I will do on the way home from Stoke and then got the Olympic Stadium the following week, so will be down to 22 after that.

I have been doing 8-10 Scottish ones for the last two or three seasons, so will concentrate on the remaining English ones instead and should be able to get them all done in the next few years.
