A SUCCESSFUL six month reign at The Crown will hopefully get even better for Accrington pub couple Steve Bentham and Barbara Thistlewate.
The pair are hoping Accrington Stanley's continuing success will mean even more trade next season for the pub, which is on the doorstep of the recently-promoted football club's Crown Ground.
And Barbara, who was a barmaid there for three years before taking over the tenancy, is also hoping the pub's own run of success will continue through the summer.
She said: "We do get extremely busy on matchdays and hope next season that it will get even busier.
"But we are still a family local. Now its the summer with the beautiful weather there's the beer garden and we have a new cook. There's still lots going on."
