Hastily rearranged friendly against Accrington Stanley at Leyland after Bolton players understandibly extended their strike having not been paid for 20 weeks, will they start the season, touch and go methinks.
As for our new opponents every credit for them staying up last season in League , smallest budget and ground probably punching above their weight but credit to them under John Coleman.
The County ground at Leyland used to be the ground of Leyland Motors FC had one unique featured wooden square goal posts. Now home to Lancashire FA. The ground was adjacent to the Leyland Motors cricket ground also now defunct, scene of a mighty victory for Whittle le Woods ist xi against basically a Leyland Motors Northern league side in an F Ley cup match, happy days.
