Can I just clear up a minor point on this thread. Whitebirk has always been in Hyndburn and the border is the river that runs by then new Eastern area Police Headquarters. All the industrial estate on the right (heading towards Preston and before the railway bridge belongs to HBC. Always has done always will do. BUt and this is a big BUT, The club belongs to Accrington not Hyndburn, therefore, we need to stay within the boundaries of the town including the districts of SpringHill, Huncoat, Clayton, Church, Oswaldtwistle, Baxenden and Altham. Outside any of these districts and the identity would disappear rapidly.. BTW this all came about by meddling politicians in London - now where have I heard that before???
