LISTEN: Dukinfield Dreams

Dukinfield Town Football Club have big dreams of competing in semi-professional football in the near future.

The club is hoping to compete in the North West Youth Alliance Under 21 League against other sides including Curzon Ashton, Abbey Hey, Stalybridge Celtic and Avro amongst others.

We spoke to Danny Fox, who has been involved with the junior section for a good number of years but has also been tasked with taking charge of the development squad, about the club's long term ambitions and the financial realities that come with it.

  • Latics diary: The cursing of dreams

    A few weeks ago on these pages, after Latics had lost three games in a row, conceding three goals in each game, I wrote them off for the season. Consolidation achieved, but with an unfulfilled objective to entertain and compete. Latics have won four games and drawn two, including last week’s stand-off against leaders Bromley at Hayes Lane, and the season is back in the balance. Tranmere Rovers were there to be hammered at Prenton Park, and Latics obliged. Tequila!
