A town I know well from frequent trips between Sheffield and Manchester, Glossop is the home of Glossop North End AFC and something special is building up in this part of Derbyshire as a memorable season reaches its climax.
Having secured a date at Wembley for the FA Vase Final (Saturday 9th May, 3pm), the Hillmen have been left with a fixture backlog to work through in their bid to win promotion from the North West Counties Premier Division, so much so that this week they had to play two home games on successive days.
A 1-0 victory over AFC Liverpool on Wednesday night was followed by another visit from a Merseyside team, St Helens Town, on Thursday.
The club had already decided to make entrance for this game just £1 but a chain of events on the day of the game made things even more special than that.
I'll let the Official Club Website tell the story in full detail.
Glossop are also into the final of the MEN United League Cup where they will meet Atherton Collieries at the home of Curzon Ashton FC on Thursday 30 April at 7:45pm. Tickets for this game are priced at £5 Adults and £3 Concessions.
