My fate was sealed when mum and dad bought a house opposite CP main gates a couple of years later. I tell you what if you think things are bad now then not long after that CP was crumbling and dilapidated. The club nearly went out of business too. I’ve moved over to East Lancs in 1978. However I’ve never lost the bug and don’t miss many home games. I get to a few away games too. I feel sad when long time stalwarts decide enough is enough and stop attending games. Each to their own I suppose. Fortunes tend to be cyclical so if it goes completely belly up we will hopefully come wanging back at some point!
PS. Alan Taylor was superb and destined for the top from an early age. In todays market he would be worth 20 to 30 million easy! Ah well he was amazing in the NPL whilst with us.
