Nope, they bought it off a scrap metal dealer from Wigan. He'd bought it when the club finally went bankrupt in December, 1963. Think he was hoping to stage speedway at the venue or something similar. He hired the ground at a nominal rent to Stanley's successor - Accrington FC who played there until they finally folded in January, 1966.
