ACCRINGTON Stanley are hoping more than 1,000 fans will turn out at the Crown Ground tonight to cheer the Reds to a double cup success.
The Lancashire Marsden Cup winners are trailing 1-0 from the first leg in the UniBond League Cup final to Bradford Park Avenue.
"There is quite a few expected," said boss John Coleman, whose former club Morecambe are also bringing a coach load of fans to cheer them on.
"I just hope the Champions League semi-final doesn't take many off us.
"We took a good number to Morecambe where the crowd was 1,330 and Bradford will bring as many as they usually get at home.
"It should be a good match. We won't approach this game any differently. We have to go out and score but you have to do that in any game.
"They have been getting good results of late, they are on a bit of a roll and are scoring goals for fun but it is like on Wednesday - it depends on the night.
"I think the fact we have played in a cup final will have helped the lads.
"They have been in a pressure situation and coped so it can only help.
"We won't settle for just one trophy - the players will want both."
