Accrington FC played at the Cricket Ground when they were in the league. I think Stanley Villa just played their games on local playing fields, being an amateur lads' club. When the two clubs merged, they played at Moorhead Park, where the school is now. For one season (1897-8), they moved to Bell's Temperance Ground in Woodnook which was at the junction of Belfield Road and Nuttall Street, before moving back to Moorfield. They eventually moved to Peel Park in 1919, having bought the ground for £2,500.
