The Crown Ground is a multi-use stadium in Accrington, Lancashire, England. It is currently called the Wham Stadium as part of a three-year £200,000 sponsorship deal with What More UK Ltd.[1] It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home ground of Accrington Stanley. The stadium holds 5,057 and was built in 1968. It was the smallest stadium in the Football League in the 2010–11 season; however, it lost this status to newly promoted Crawley Town's Broadfield Stadium.

Previous names

The stadium was named the Fraser Eagle Stadium for sponsorship purposes until the demise of local company Fraser Eagle in 2009. Before that it was named the Interlink Express Stadium.
