visit to stanley
Hi
Am hoping to visit Stanley this month as its one of few grounds not been to. Regarding the old ground at peel park i believe it is now a park. how far is it from where stanley play now? what street/road is it on? will pop into your pub before game - i presume this is close to the ground. |

Re: visit to stanley
Hi John,
The old "ground" is about ten minutes walk from the town centre in the direction of Burnley on Turkey street, overlooked by the Coppice hill, a good viewpoint for appreciating the rows of old industrial stone terraced housing which makes up a large part of Accy. It is now a school playing field only. The adjacent Peel Park pub is a good 'un. The Crown pub is next to the current ground about another 15 mins walk in the direction of Clayton-le-Moors. |

Re: visit to stanley
If you do visit Peel Park, John, it's worth looking out for the one section of the ground that still survives - the dressing rooms, complete with "Built by the Supporters Club 1937" inscription.

Re: visit to stanley
The Peel Park pub's postcode, -for your sat-nav, is BB5 6EW. 5mins drive away from the present Crown ground. The best beer in town, and excellent pie&peas or sandwiches.
