Also to be fair Britcliffe as much as I loath him, is a Rovers fan, but did attend a few matches and wrote favourably about Stanley in his Observer column. Also he organised the bun fight at the Town Hall after we won promotion. If he hadn't helped the borough mark the occasion we would have been calling for his blood.
As for our Mayor Janet Storey I have no idea if she supports any football team, though it was reported she was at the said shin dig at the Town Hall. Since she's only the Mayor of Hyndburn for a year perhaps we'll have a more ardent fan in office soon. Perhaps Kipax will don the robes of office?
