Mab, any chance of your unbounded enthusiasm being channeled into the History project, PM me if you want to be involved.
Phil Whalley's book is a must read for fans though, get thee to a library. ;)

Re: Peel Park

Because it was owned by Lancs County Council by then, who used it as a playing field for the adjacent school. Stanley did actually go back there to play one match in March, 1973 (2-2 draw against Nelson) when the Crown was unplayable.

:) Then L.L.C must have bought Peel Park off the then town council which is now Hyndburn which own the FES.:confused:

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.

Re: Peel Park

at junior and schoolboy level it was drilled into us that it was a special place to play (peel park). And this was 30 years after the club leaving the football league.
