It got me thinking where Torquay Town may have played in that 1910 FA Cup tie. Bill Luscombe refers only to “Mersey Fog” descending on the match. That’s not helpful given the Mersey comes no nearer Accrington than Stockport. I reckon the Town were probably entertained at Moorhead Park with Stanley not moving to Peel Park until after the Great War. I was going to say that there is a brilliant site that tells you everything you could ever want to know about early Accrington / Accrington Stanley. Unfortunately the link now points at a short statement: "This site has been closed due to malicious attacks. If it will ever open again I cannot say". Who the hell would hate Accrington Stanley enough to make malicious attacks on a historical website? Police are currently looking for an Australian with a lady fork. |

It was indeed Moorhead Park - there is even a nice picture of the ground in 1910 here: web.archive.org/web/20030620073222/http://hem.passagen.se/accringtonstanley/History/TheBeginning.htmThe rest of the site I mentioned is also out there somewhere: wayback.archive.org/web/*/http://hem.passagen.se/accringtonstanley/History/* |
