ACCRINGTON Stanley supporters are putting their money where their mouth is and backing manager John Coleman to deliver promotion next season.

The ambitious Crown Ground club have already sold over 200 season tickets since winning the UniBond First Division title in spectacular fashion back in May.

And commercial manager John De Maine believes that figure could eventually top 300 by the time Stanley kick-off the new campaign at Leek Town on August 19.

"The response from the public has been absolutely brilliant," said De Maine.

"There isn't a club in non-League football who can afford to run off gate money alone.

"So season ticket money and sponsorship revenue is of paramount importance to any club at this level. "Now, thanks to ours fans' loyalty, we can draw up a budget for next season.

"And if we continue in the same vain as last season then this club can only go from strength to strength.

"But it just goes to show people will come to watch a winning team."

The club have also secured a lucrative new three-year sponsorship deal with Blackburn-based company Red Rose Assurance on the back of last season's achievements.

And work has already started on building a new stand -- to run adjacent to the existing main stand -- at a cost of over £50,000.

"As a club we are as ambitious as ever," said De Maine.

"And we have told John Coleman he can go out and sign whoever he wants."

Stanley supporters can still purchase season tickets ahead of the new season.

Prices range from £100 (adults) to £60 (senior citizens and juniors) which includes entry to all first team home league games, as well as all reserve and youth team fixtures.
