...which leads to the obvious question - why should Blackburn and Burnley be permitted to promote themselves in Hyndburn schools? Neither of these clubs are based in Hyndburn and they both have quite enough of the limelight in East Lancashire already. Who gives permission for this? Is it the council? If so, isn't it time they put a stop to it?
