We can only but dream!

Horrible ground ! Just a massive breezeblock with no atmosphere or anything !! Looks like a business park from the outside !!

No to legoland grounds !!!

agreed. Nice and straightforward, probably easier to maintain, but characterless and souless.

Itll never happen but Id like to see a new ground slap bang in the town centre like where netto is. It would generate more money for shops and pubs aswel.

Exactly where the new Tesco is? Rail links, bus links, short distance off the motorway.

Perhaps then more reason to redevelop the current ground, just off the motorway, bus links right to the front door (so to speak) and rail links within a couple of miles. Easy access from either A56 highway in the sky or M65, just could do with some clearer signs on the motorway junctions i.e. leave at junction 7 for ASFC as they have for Oswastwistle Mills!

All that is needed at the Crown is a redevelopment of the Whinney Hill to incorporate corporate/sponsors lounge, changing rooms and food/retail outlets under the stand - Oh and a roof for the away spectators - Cost £4 million, keep many of the punters already going to watch Accy very happy and would still be a soulful place - Oh yes, one other thing, remove the seats from the Clayton end! Now that would make a lot of spectators happy

the 'main' stand will always be on the westerly side of the ground on any new build due to the setting sun of a 3pm quick off.

The other thing is that any offices, or corporate sponsorship, or even a coach dropping off away players, will all expect car parking to be right outside the door. The Whinney Hill side will never have that

Plus the folk on the jam butty estate behind the cowsheds would never put up with it - they wouldn't be able to see the game from their bedroom windows

Who was here first??????



Gonna try a different Idea on the design front, to be honest the that first Idea was a generic design that can be applied to any lower league club.

Gonna have a crack at what the Crown would look like with two sides redeveloped, seats removed from Clayton End etc.

It wouldn't take much to level the ground out the back of the Whinney Hill and there is enough of it for coaches and directors car parking. may have to shore up the neighbours gardens but as FatGaz says, who was here first! So the club will need planning consent, would not do any harm in trying

I think the issue would be with Livingston Rd, rather than Whinney Hill estate. I think it might be the Church site or Huncoat Power Station.

Rumours about Accrington Tesco not working out that well and may shut down. Now that would be perfect?

Accrington Tesco is going to be a b&q
