good turn to other clubs who were hit by the foot and mouth restrictions last win ter, has indirectly led to their being thrown out of the Clitheroe Amateur League only three weeks after the
start o f the new season. The Sabden players allowed
other teams to use their pitch last season, and as a result of two or three games being played on it each weekend, the grass suffered and in wet weather the pitch became a sea of mud.
The team was given permis
sion to use the pitch by Sabden Parish Council, providing it adhered to certain conditions, one of which was that the pitch was to be kept in good order.
Warning At the end of last season, the
team was told by the council that it would have to find an alternative pitch, but the players had no success, and decided to play all their matches away from home this season. But this has proved t°° much for the boys who had no trans-

A T T A C K E D The Blackburn and Burnley Chambers of Commerce
combined this week to make strong protest to the Govern ment against the proposed new city at Leyland-Chorley, and called for resources to be invested in existing towns
between Preston and the Yorkshire border. After a meeting at Blackburn
on Tuesday, the two chamber presidents sent telegrams to every member of the Cabinet with the message: “The proposed Central Lan
cashire city will destroy North East Lancashire. Oppose the designation. Letter following." The letter, signed on behalf
of the two chambers by Mr, John S. Singleton, of Black burn, and Mr. E. Leah, of Burnley, p o in t e d out to Ministers that the two cham bers t o g e t h e r represented industry and c om m e rc e throughout the North East
Lancashire area. “We believe that it is not
practical to develop a new Central Lancashire city and at the same time safeguard the

interests of North East Lan cashire,” it is stated. ‘I f the new city goes ahead
■the towns and smaller com munities of North Hast Lan cashire will decline and become a vast derelict area. 'We b e l ie v e that the
redevelopment of North East Lancashire is a desirable and practical alternative for the following reasons: '1, The same aims of the
new city can be better achieved at much less cost in view of the public services already in exis tence. “2, Blackburn and Burnley
are established centres, each with commercial, educational, cultural and recreational facili ties of a high order. Redevelop ment has been rapid over the last few years and in particular, central redevelopment schemes are nearing completion, cater ing for a combined population in excess of 500,000- "3, Land for all purposes Is
considerably cheaper than In the proposed city area. This is particularly important for the provision of low cost housing. ‘In addition to the fact that
the. Central Lancashire city would be so much more costly, we regard the physical pro posals as a ribbon development on a grand scale along the lines of the M6 motorway. ‘A new approach is called
for entailing the development of three major growth centres around Burnley, Blackburn and Preston.
'This could be achieved more
rapidly, more cheaply and with greater success than could a huge city project in the Ley land-Chorley area. ‘We earnestly implore you to
oppose the designation of the new city.”
L l o y d j o i n s i n
The plan to build the Pres
ton—Leyland—Choriey new town was criticised on Wed nesday night by Mr. Selwyn Lloyd who was addressing a N E L a n c s . Conservative Party rally in King George’s Hall, Blackburn. Mr. Lloyd said that if the new
town was given development status it would finish the older towns in NE Lancs, and if it did not have such status it would never get off the ground. " I t will be cheaper and bet
ter,” he added. " to build on to the older towns and to really think before embarking on a project costing about £400 mil lion." Mr. Lloyd also drew attention
to the great difference in grants given by the Government to de velopment and non-development areas. He felt that the balance was
tilted much too sharply in favour of the development areas at the expense of the NW and NE Lancs, which produces one I fifth of the country’s exports,
port of their own. and follow ing a 0-27 defeat at Hurst Green in the opening game, they failed to turn up for their next fixture at Gisbum. And when, despite a warning,
no Sabden F.C. representatives attended a meeting of the League’s executive committee, the team was expelled from the league and fixtures re arranged accordingly. Mr. J. Woodworth, league
•treasurer, said the club will now have to pay a nominal fine of £1 to the league, plus the Gisbum team expenses for the match which was not played, and then' own league fees for the season. Mr. Derek Foster, who was
the club’s acting-secretary this season, said the Parish Coun cil told the club at the end of last season that it would have
to find an alternative playing area. “One of the reasons they
gave was that the field was get ting too muddy for little chil dren to play on throughout the winter,” he added.
Granted “Before • the start of this
season we had 20 players, but when we had to play every match away from home about 10 of them left because they thought they might as well play for other teams.” Mr. J. Fisk, clerk to Sabden
Parish Council, said the club had asked permission to play on the pitch before the start of last season, and this had been granted, providing it adhered to certain conditions. He said that the players had
agreed to keep the pitch in good order and also see to the
protection of the property at either end of the ground. The players said they would
erect a fence to stop the ball going into the allotments,” he said, "but they failed to do this.”
Mr. FiSk added that con
siderable damage was done to the allotments and also to a coal yard when players or spec tators went to retrieve the ball. " I don’t think they have a
great deal to grumble about because they did not pay any
fees and they allowed ail and sundry to use the pitch when the foot and mouth restrictions were in force,” said Mr. Fisk. “I f only one match had been
Played on the pitch each week, it would probably have been all right, but with two or some times three games each week end, the grass almost com pletely disappeared and it was like a sea of mud at times.” Nobody wanted to see the
club expelled from the league, said Mr. Fisk, but the players did not help themselves by or ganising m o n e y - r a i s in g schemes.
“I am sure they would have re ceived tremendous support from the village.”
The matter was discussed at
a meeting of the Sabden Parish Council on Monday.
A successful jumble sale, or
ganised by members of the All Saints Church. Pendleton, and held in the Village Hall on Sat urday afternoon, raised £20 to wards the Sale of Work to be held in November. Tea and scones were provided
for the many people who attended the event.

Motorists who stock u p with cans o f petrol in an attempt to beat the threatened shortage were warned this week that they may be creating a fire risk, and run the risk
of prosecution. A spokesman fo r the Lancashire County F ire Brigade at Accrington, pointed
out that no more than four gallons o f petrol may be stored by a private individual. These must be in two gallon cans, and must be kept
in the boot o f the car. He warned that during previous times of petrol shortage, several serious fires had been caused by people illegally storing large amounts of petrol in dangerous places. Garages throughout the Clitheroe area reported that they
had been flooded with motorists anxious to stock up with petrel before the threatened shortage materialises.
Dry by weekend Mr. W. F. Dawson, of Primrose Garage. Cli-theroc, a Shell
station said almost everyone who came into the garage wanted filling up. “We have been selling a lot of petrol,” he said, “and if we
do not get any deliveries we will be dry by weekend, if we cany on selling at this rate.”
Mr. G. D. Nutter, of the Roundabout Filling Station, a BP
garage, said that motorists had been filling not only their car tanks, but also cans. He was hoping for a delivery of petrol

office said that the Clitheroe area should be unaffected by the tanker drivers’ strike, because it is supplied from depots at Preston and Heysham.
Under contract He stressed that the striking drivers were not employed by
Shell, but by a to n under contract. The striking drivers are, however, picketing the Manchester
depot, and preventing Shell drivers from working. “There Is a certain amount of violence and interference
with vehicles going on here,” he said. The strike is unofficial, and the drivers are protesting against
the proposal to introduce tachographs, or journey recorders, into the cabs of commercial vehicles.

endorsed at Clitheroe yesterday. Insp. S. Evans, prosecuting,
said the man, Eric John Coates, aged 23 of Pye Avenue, Cud- worth, Barnsley, was seen to go through the lights at red by P.C. Norman Sharpies. P.C. Sharpies stopped Coates,
