UP THE IRON!

Today will be an even quieter Sunday than normal in Brigg, in view of the number of townsfolk going down to Wembley to support Scunthorpe United in the cup final against Luton Town.
Like others in Brigg, I had to get up before the crack of dawn to take a couple of family members over to Glanford Park, where coaches were leaving at 6am on their way down to London.
On my return to Brigg, about 5.30am, two of TJs buses were just pulling out of Island Carr - and doubtless other local coach firms are involved in taking Iron fans on their big day out.
Incidentally, I seem to recall Brigg's Barry Horstead was in the Scunthorpe United team, in 1965, which thrashed Luton 8-1 - the Iron's biggest ever home win. Must have been a pretty quiet day in defence for our man!
