HIGH ON THE
HILLS & 35 MINUTES FROM BLACKBURN, BACUP BOROUGH FC WOULD WELCOME
SUNDERLAND FANS PRIOR TO THE BOXING DAY FIXTURE
Just 35
minutes from Ewood Park, Bacup Borough FC’s West View Ground high on the
Pennines is surrounded by stunning moorlands in a town described by
English Heritage as the best-preserved cotton mill town in England. Small
wonder that it is one of the 100 must see venues in Mike Bayly’s classic book
British Football’s Greatest Grounds.
In the
distant past Boro faced League Champions Manchester United in 1912 in the FA
Cup. Today, they continue to battle for a play-off spot in the North West
Counties League Northern section. Visitors are guaranteed a warm welcome and
the club can accommodate 70 people in the bar with plenty of food and drink.
Debbie O’Connor, whose Prem Pie became famous a few years back when it featured
on Sky Sports Cameras, is the lass to contact if any SAFCSA branches would like
to book their bus in for a pre match drink. Individuals too are welcome to make
contact.
