Should be a good game, best two teams in the league by far. I just hope we can get a result, don't want the season to end on a downer after all of this.
I remember going to the NWCFL Cup Final at Gigg Lane in 1988. Colwyn Bay lost 3-1 to Warrington Town.
It was an interesting evening. There were around 350 there. 300 were from Colwyn Bay, and about 250 of those ripped the ground to pieces when Warrington went 2-0 up after about ten minutes.
A year later the same two teams met again. The crowd was about 302. About 300 from Colwyn Bay and me and the St. Helens Town secretary tucked safely away at the other end of the ground, with crash helmets on!
