From John Tempest

A dozen hard working volunteers have cleared all the public areas of Blackwell Meadows of snow on Friday lunchtime, but now the club needs three times as many people to help clear the pitch ahead of the 9.30am inspection on Saturday morning.

The pitch is soft underneath the snow, and therefore we are optimistic that if we clear the snow, then hopefully the Chorley game will get the go-ahead from the match referee.

We therefore need at least 40 volunteers to come to Blackwell Meadows, equipped with plastic shovels and wheelbarrows, at around 7.30 on Saturday morning, to help clear the snow from the pitch.

If you can spare an hour or two, then it would be greatly appreciated!

Sausage and bacon sandwiches will also be provided.
