Again, a promotion drive in the pubs on the theme, "The best non-league football in England is only a bus ride away". We need to spread our net far and wide!
I agree, I myself live in Harwood and I know of several others who trek over to watch "real" football rather than the plastic corporate affair offered in Blackburn and Burnley.
