    Details have been released that we have 1100 tickets available.

    This will be more than enough for us and WILL go to a general sale.

    Hopefully people will not panic that they will not get a ticket.

    For many will be first away game of the season with Sunderland being a 12.30 kick off and new ground.

    I am being told off for posting too many links .. but this looks like the best version .. crazy fares (before any railcard deductions) and if you miss the 18.11 out of Stanleyville .. !!

    Pubs in Accrington

    This is as of October 2016 and fingers crossed they are all still open.

    If arriving by train then the town centre is only a 2/3 minute walk away and if there early and you fancy a fry up washed down with a bust of the Amber nectar, then the Commercial Hotel (The bog standard Weatherspoons) on Church Street will be all worthwhile.

    From there the other pubs are on the Whalley Road within 5 minutes of the ground. 15 minute walk from the Spoons, up hill.

    Behind the Main Stand is the Club Sports Bar which allows in visiting fans.

    The nearest pub by the ground is the Crown, which is just behind the ground on the main Whalley Road and welcomes all supporters.

    A little further down Whalley Road (five minutes walk in the direction of the motorway), is the Greyhound pub, which is a Sam Smiths pub. Very cheap!

    The Grey Horse pub, is the first pub on the left you will see if walking up from the station. It is only a small pub but served decent real ale and lager.

    However if you arrive around 12 then a pub of the beaten track you may enjoy

    Consider visiting the 'Peel Park Hotel' in Turkey Street. It also overlooks Peel Park, the site of Accrington Stanley's old ground. The red brick wall opposite the Peel Park pub is the only structure that remains from the Peel Park ground.
    Very nice old fashioned decor pub with Sky TV and a snooker room.

    Is the Peel Park far from the start of this crawl?

    I've just phoned up to buy a ticket .. despite going to 15 away games and 3 at home last season and a similar number the year before and the year before that etc. etc. I don't have enough 'loyalty' points to qualify to buy a ticket yet and have to wait for 'phase 3' on Wednesday .. so to prove my loyalty and dedication to CAFC, I've just bought a ticket for Leicester v Wolves on 18th

    not the point .. I have been a 'loyal fan' for years and to be told 'I don't qualify …!!'

    a good friend of mine is a Leicester fan so I've told her we'd go see them play Wolves and Liverpool on 1/9 .. see a bit of quality before more of what has been for the past few years absolute CAFC dross ((:>) ..

    I've no idea what your problem is.

    They are on sale to S/T holders (230 point holders) for 2 days & then they are on general sale on Wednesday.

    VG and S/T holders always have and always will have priority.

    The tickets won't sell out.

    Educated guess about 1k what with it being a new ground for most supporters.
