    A fuuny thing happened....

    Just before Great Harwood Town folded, we had a problem with apathy from the towsfolk, but that wasn't always the case.

    Back in 1991 we embarked on a great run in the FA Vase which took us to the quarter final stage where we were beaten by Littlehampton Town.

    * In the 5th round we played at home to Bridlington Town and the ground was packed. It was 'ticket only' for the little stand and as the game began I noticed that between me and the bloke on my right, was the only empty seat.

    * "Who should be sat there?" I asked.

    * "Oh, that's the wifes seat but she couldn't come as she died recently." He replied.

    * "I'm very sorry to hear that, but with it being such a big game today, couldn't you give her ticket to a friend or reletive?" I questioned, to which the loving husband replied.

    * "No, they're all at the funeral!"
