Re: Padiham FC Thread

The match at Longridge was postponed tonight (Tuesday) due to a waterlogged pitch. It has been rescheduled for Thursday night at 7.45 at the Arbories.
Refunds for those who attended the original abandoned game at Longridge should apply to Longridge Town FC.

Re: Padiham v Barnoldswick Town

If you think that Burnley play hoof ball then you should have been at the Arbories today to see a perfect example of the genre.
At least the Reedley Hallows Pendleside in the clubhouse was palatable.
The match inevitably ended 0-0.
