The Crown Ground is the home ground of Accrington Stanley FC.

With a capacity of just 5,057 it is the smallest stadium in The Football League.

There are 5 stands;

Main Stand - The newest stand in the stadium it runs half the length of the pitch and replaced a terraced area.

John Smiths Stand - (previously the Thwaites Stand) Runs the other half length of the pitch. Because of the slope on the pitch it has less rows of seating the nearer you get to the Clayton End.

Clayton End - A covered terrace which is home to the most vocal Stanley fans.

Whinney Hill Terrace - Otherwise known as the Cowshed. A small terrace with only 3 rows. It has a roof running 2/3 the length of the pitch but with pillars obscuring the view. The Television gantry is situated in the middle of the terrace.

Coppice End - An uncovered terrace running 2/3 the width of the pitch. Allocated to away support.
