CALLING ALL GRAPPLE FANS
Brigg fans who used to enjoy attending wrestling events at the Corn Exchange in days gone by can rekindle their interest when the sport makes a welcome return to the area tomorrow (Saturday).
Ancholme Leisure Centre is the venue for the family-orientated event featuring wrestlers from Lincolnshire, Nottingham and Manchester.
Doors open at 7pm, with action under way at 7.30pm. Tickets cost £8 for adults, £5 concessions or £20 for a family ticket.
Fans are urged to book early on 01472 505663, 07771 618288, or online at www.realdealpromotions.co.uk
The event was switched to the leisure centre at short notice, due to licensing problems at the original venue in Scunthorpe.
Pictured (by Mark Wright) are tag team champions Chaos and Sykes.
Wrestling was a feature at the Corn Exchange until shortly before its closure.
And among those to appear were Pat Roach (who acted in Auf Wiedersehen Pet and one or two of the James Bond movies) and Giant Haystacks.
A few wrestling nights were later held at Ancholme Leisure Centre.
