Poulton Town Football Club - West Lancashire Football League

The football season has now started! Our front page picture this week shows part of the Cottom Hall Field in Blackpool Old Road, home of Poulton Town FC, members of the West Lancashire Football League. 

As you can see from this superb photo, the ground has been badly affected by the recent spell of wet weather in the north-west of England.  Amazing isn't it to think that we are only two weeks into the new 2008-2009 campaign. It also serves as a reminder to check  that the game we are going to watch is definitely on before travelling!  

Thankfully this West Lancashire League Premier Division game, a local derby against Blackpool Wren Rovers, played on Tuesday 19 August, gets the go-ahead. For the record the match ends with a 2-0 victory to the visitors.
