ACCRINGTON Stanley chairman Eric Whalley is urging more fans to book themselves on the coach and cheer the Reds to FA Cup second round victory at Bournemouth on 6 December.

Coach organiser Stephen Lowe, a Stanley fan for 18 years and in charge of "Loweiy's Lucky Buses" for 18 months, has already got 140 fans booked on three coaches for the trip to the Second Division side.

"A good Accrington following will be like an extra man for us," said the chairman. "It is a huge game for the club and hopefully they will cheer us into the big third round."

The coaches are leaving the club at 7am and will set off back around 30 minutes after the game. The cost is £20 each.

Stephen, manager with forestry firm Fountains, will take bookings and payment at Stanley's home clash with Telford tomorrow - where he will be stood next to the programme seller - or he can be contacted on 07775 704072.

  • TICKETS are now on sale from the club for the FA Cup clash. The prices are: Adults: £15; OAP/Students: £7; Under 18s: £5. The office will be open Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm and tickets will also be sold at Saturday's home match.
