ACCRINGTON Stanley fans will get their first glimpse of the club's impressive new cantiliver stand roof when they take on Morecambe in a friendly at the Crown.
The £50,000 construction has now benn completed and will be known as the Thwaites Smooth Stand over the next three seasons following a sponsorship deal with the Blackburn-based brewery.
The stand will be unveiled when they take on the Shrimps at the Crown on July 23.
But the highlight of the Reds' warm up campaign will be a prestigious home fixture with Premier League neighbours Blackburn Rovers on Saturday August 8.
"Rovers have agreed to send down a side and they've promised to include all those who don't play against PSV Eindoven on the Friday night," confirmed commercial manager John De-Maine.
"Hopefully it should be a strong side and we'll get a good crowd down."
Season tickets for Stanley's forthcoming UniBond League campaign are now on sale and can be purchased on weekdays at the club.
Commercial manager John De-Maine casts his eye over the club's new £50,000 cantiliver stand roof which was completed last week.
