Burscough FC featured previously when we visited New Mills back in February.  Wakefield FC are the footballing tenants at Belle Vue (Rapid Solicitors Stadium), the landlords being [click here] > Wakefield Trinity Wildcats the city's very successful Rugby League club.  Wakefield were in the midst of a depressing run of seventeen matches without a win, the last being the victory over Goole AFC back in January.
