AN ACCRINGTON club owner has been using his initiative to offer football supporters from across the country a good bit of Lancashire hospitality.
Phil Miller, owner of Stanley Street WMC in Accrington, has written to the supporters' clubs of all 21 Conference football clubs letting them know of a warm welcome at his club when their side visits Accrington Stanley.
Phil has used his experience of being chairman of the Accrington branch of Burnley FC supporters to target travelling away footie fans. Already Phil has had a big response from Scarborough fans and received a letter of thanks in return.,
Phil said: "As I organise travel for our branch of supporters I try and find somewhere before a game we can sit down, get a bit to eat and relax with a couple of beers. And we visit that place again and again.
"So I thought we'd offer our facilities to Conference sides coming up to Stanley. It's been proving successful so far."
