YOUNGSTERS from Warrington Town FC’s “Barmy army” teamed up with head grounds man John Barton to start work on improving the pitch for next season.
Motorists driving over the Cantilever Bridge could have been forgiven for thinking the pitch had been invaded by giant moles!
But in reality 20 tonnes of top soil has been spread across the pitch in a bid to improve the playing surface to avoid the infamous Cantilever bounce!
Some members of the “Barmy Army” undertook the work as part of their Duke of Edinburgh award project, while other just gave up their free time to help out.
John works tirelessly on the pitch throughout the season and was voted the club’s “Unsung hero” at the end of season awards.

dont no why that fat man was there he never work there before
Thanks again to our young supporters, and not so young John for the ground work they are doing. Maybe the fatman does not do much physical work , but the contribution , he has made over a number of years is substantial.
