Their efforts raised £150 for the account set up at Clitheroe's branch of the Skipton Building Society to help fund the centre. Among the winning players were Anna Dylan, whose battle against breast cancer inspired her to launch the centre

Clitheroe FC ‘backroom boy supporter and clubman dies


A VOCIFEROUS sup porter of Clitheroe FC for much of last centu­ ry, Mr George Slinger, has died aged 91. Mr Slinger's long inter­


est in the team's fortunes as decade followed decade from the year 1922 was recognised in several


ways. He had his own seat in


the club, he had his own place just to the side of the goals, and he was still presi­ dent of the supporters' club,


although unable to attend «


the meetings. Mr Slinger played ama­


teur soccer briefly as a young man, and this seemed to give him Shaw- bridge touchline confidence . . . the opponents, the ref, even the home team heard his views as the fortunes of The Blues waxed and waned over the years. Up to quite recent times,


to the team's efforts. How­ ever, recently he had been living in a retirement home. A regular at the Royal

British Legion in Clitheroe for many years, Mr Slinger was also a member of the Conservative Club. He had many memories


Mr Slinger was one of “the backroom boys”, a group of veteran supporters adding colour, wisdom and decibels


of the Clitheroe of 80 and more years ago, and spent his working life as a plumber, the last 33 at Mullards, Simonstone. The funeral is on Mon­


day, and Mr Slinger leaves a son and a daughter.

fell. The funeral is tomorrow

Traffic lights offenders targeted


MOTORISTS who "jump" the Castle Cement rail line crossing lights are being targeted by British Transport Police. Already one has been


fined £150 with £100 costs for failing to observe the lights. A spokesman for the


police says th a t drivers often accelerate through although the lights are flashing on red. "Some do not seem to know that flashing means stop - they need to look at the High­ way Code," said the officer. "The trains only move slow­ ly, but that is no reason to drive in front of them. Delays are kept to a mini­ mum. "The law is there to pro­


tect everyone and must be observed." It is understood that the


driver pleaded guilty to the allegation in court, saying that he thought someone had waved him on.
