Founded as Cammell Laird Institute, the club changed its
name from Cammell Laird in 2014, rising from the ashes as a Phoenix club after
Cammell Laird FC voluntarily quit the Evo-Stik Northern Premier League at the
end of last season.
Lairds' Chairman Frank Games told the club website
beforehand: "We've not tried this sort of thing in the recent past, but we
are hoping to generate a bit of interest, and will certainly consider running
it again next season if it proves to be successful."
In the Vanarama Conference, meanwhile, a slightly
different but equally welcome approach as Eastleigh FC’s community sponsor,
Compass Vehicle Leasing, purchased 2,000 tickets for the televised home game
against Macclesfield and then handed them to local junior teams.
The result, on the day that the club’s new stand was
officially opened, was a record attendance of 4,126 and a thumping 4-0 victory
for the hosts.
