ACCRINGTON Stanley maintained their 100 per cent record in League Two with victory at home to Port Vale tonight.

Cracking game, frantic at 1st from both sides but some excellent football played by both teams.
2-0 flattered Stanley but Vale didn't take 2 late chances and paid the price, and anyway Dunbavin would've saved if they'd been on target (great game, mate).
Terrific display..... when was there ever a lost cause or a challenge not made?
Amazing support from the Ultras, you lot are a credit to the club!

Great team effort and some tidy football played by both sides. Last twenty was a bit backs to the wall stuff but nice to see a Stanley defence seeing out the game to keep a second clean sheet. Only two games played but who cares we're in top three........dizzy times
