Accrington Stanley are delighted to announce that our newly built supporters' bar and hospitality suite will be open for taster events in early March!
The venues will be formally named Coley's (supporters' bar) and the 1968 Lounge (hospitality suite) at the grand opening ceremony at the end of March, with further details to be announced.
Both the new supporters' bar and hospitality suite will be fully-functioning on Saturday 12th March when the Reds entertain Charlton Athletic at the Wham Stadium.
Leading up to that, the following taster events will be held:
Tuesday 1st March
Coley's will be open from 6.30pm for supporters, sponsors and the public to view the full facilities and have a drink in the new supporters' bar for the first time.
Saturday 5th March
Coley's will be open from 12pm until close, with the bar fully operational and wall mounted 85" TVs showing the following live games:
- Fulham v Blackburn Rovers (12.30pm)
- Liverpool v West Ham United (5.30pm)
Our very own singing star, Trudie Rose, will provide live music from 3pm, with pie, peas and gravy available throughout the afternoon.
If you're not travelling to Portsmouth to watch the Reds, why not spend the afternoon in Coley's?
There will be live updates from Fratton Park throughout the afternoon and on the spot drinks promotions for every Stanley goal scored!
Everyone is welcome to come along to sample what lies ahead on Stanley matchdays at the Wham.
Tuesday 8th March
The 1968 Lounge will be open for business, with bookings now being taken for a special 'Meet the Players' evening.
With a complimentary drink upon arrival, the 1968 Lounge will be open from 6pm and a one-course meal will then be served at 7pm.
Guests will be sat among the Stanley players and coaching staff, with an opportunity to chat and find out more about the players they support from the terraces on a weekly basis.
The event is suitable for families to attend and the players will be formally introduced throughout the evening, with ample opportunities for photos and autographs.
