This sums it up so well Di !....
A trip to Fleetwood, who now looked to running away with the title, would surely mean another defeat and although another depleted team put up a good show, we found ourselves two down soon after the break. O’Neil and Rogers then scored to put us level and Fleetwood were on the rocks before a dubious late penalty saw them home. Next was a simply ‘must win’ game as next to bottom Formby arrived, but a tight game ended 2-2 to all but condemn us to the drop. John Eastham also broke his arm in an accidental challen ge. Things couldn’t get any worse? Later that night, a car was driven into Monroe’s drugs club and set alight. The town of Great Harwood cheered at the loss of this den of inequity, which has blighted the town for many years. Tragically, it also destroyed much of the Football Club, leaving us homeless, kitless, and our very survival in doubt. Neighbours Accrington Stanley, Darwen and Colne stepped in with offers of help, ensuring that we could complete the season. The players then showed true grit when they travelled to Bacup in the League Cup and led until the last few minutes when a two-goal salvo left us devastated. Paul Ma****er left to join Fleetwood, and with Eastham out for the season, the future looked as bleak as could be.
Wouldn't you agree ?...And who WAS driving that car I wonder ?.
Every good wish to you and Mum for Christmas and the New Year ! |
