I used to live up near there in the 1980s - I would imagine all he areas around there have declined ... I was in the posh part of the Ribble Valley Whalley /Clitheroe for a few years - I could see HK training Blackburn FC ...
I started off with a well balanced post - I know its hard for a youngster to make the grade even harder under the system we use now rationalised games etc -
We now have better owners secured Braithwaite etc - put it this way if Jack Harrison is...
No as an opposition fan back then their manager was a scouser - the ground must have improved as they are a league team now - non league for many years ...
The standard of football was very good TBH back then ....
