In the 1950s someone used to whitewash the scores and result of the Accrington v Church games on a stone wall on the Accrington side of the traffic lights at Church.
Can anyone tell me the history of this activity and when did it finish.

I used to remember that practice but its a long time since to was done, must be thirty years ago, don't know why the practice started, but that wall was virtually on the boundry between the two towns, guess it was one-upman-ship
