Stanley look set to get special dispensation again this season for the Crown Ground to operate below the Football League’s minimum capacity of 5,000.
The Reds’ plans for a £1.2m redevelopment of the ground fell through and a possible temporary extension to the Coppice Terrace is not expected to be in place by the start of the season.
“We’ve had dispensation from the Football League for the last 12 months and they continue to be lenient with us on that,” said managing director Dave O’Neill.
“We’ll finish up at around 4,600 to 4,700 by the start of the season, so we’re only a small amount away.”
