CHANGES AHEAD AT BRIGG CLUB


Brigg Town Football Club has been based at the current Hawthorns venue since circa 1960, having earlier played at the Brocklesby Ox ground, off Bridge Street.
A small licensed bar/clubhouse was soon added at the new venue, later being extended to benefit members who paid their annual subs and also visiting fans who fancied an after-match pint.
It is now intended to make this a "community interest club" and refurbishment is already under way inside the premises.
The club is now appealing for old photographs of the ground/clubhouse to be displayed.
Brigg Blog has a few from the 1970s we'll be happy to donate for possible use.

If you have any old prints, take them down to the club for scanning and safe return.
The Brigg Town FC Grand Opening Night will take place at the Hawthorns clubhouse on Saturday, September 16, from 7.30pm.
Admission is free and entertainment will be provided by Geoff Wilson - guitarist and singer.
"Do not miss this event or you will regret it!" the organisers say.

Brigg Town FC was founded in the 1860s, making it one of the oldest in the world.
But despite the long history, it is changing with the times.
