Thorneyholme Road

Thorneyholme Road is a cricket and former football ground in Accrington, England.

The football pitch was located at the western end of the ground, with a covered stand and some uncovered seating built on the western touchline and more uncovered seating installed behind both goals.

[1] The record league attendance of 10,000 was set on 2 January 1893 for a local derby with Blackburn Rovers.

After losing the promotion/relegation test match to Sheffield United, Accrington resigned from the Football League rather than be relegated to Division Two.

The area where the football ground was located is now covered by tennis courts.
