PUTTING THE ACCENT ON FOOTBALL IN BRIGG


A group of 'Scotsmen' - that's how their accents have been described to us - were reported to be out and about in Brigg town centre this morning (Saturday, August 31) doing a spot of shopping. Or could they, perhaps, hail from the border country?
Our only suggestion, unconfirmed, is that they might be Carlisle United football fans heading for Scunthorpe, where The Cumbrians are playing the Iron this afternoon.
Perhaps they opted to stay the night in Brigg or close by. For the on-road route would surely be M6, M62, M18, M180 and M181 straight to Glanford Park, taking them nowhere near our town.
We've been to Carlisle several times and wouldn't describe the local accent as being Scots-like, but the Cumbrian town is not all that far from the boundary.
How did they find the Lincolnshire dialect?
It will be no surprise to see Armthorpe FC fans in Brigg shops and pubs today. Armthorpe are playing Brigg Town at the EC Surfacing Ground (The Hawthorns) in the FA Vase this afternoon.
It's not much of a trek from Doncaster, when compared with the distance from Carlisle!
