Where is Brighouse?
Well, the ground is just off the A644 Huddersfield to Keighley road, just behind the Dusty Miller pub, and just off a nasty bend on a country lane, blink and youll miss it! And it is surprisingly close to Sheffield, less than an hour. When you ask people if theyve been to Brighouse whove actually been, they often reply Yes, I saw Halifax (or Huddersfield) play there pre-season. I tend to make a trip to St Giles Road every season, generally in May, but very seldom to see Brighouse Town themselves. Normally at this time of the year the League tends to host its League Cup finals at their ground, as well as at Littletown and Altofts, but this year as Id said earlier Im not doing the finals routine this year. So it was as good a time as any to go and watch the team that lives there in action. The one thing about the West Riding County Amateur League is there is no requirement to take a gate or produce a programme, probably as most of the clubs in the league play on glorified recreation grou
