A fire has ripped through a former
non-league ground.
On Sunday night pictures of Dark Lane, home
of former Evo-stik club Rossendale United were posted on social networking
sites- Twitter and Facebook showing the main stand on fire.
As you can see from the photo below, thanks
to Chris Lord and the Ramsbottom United twitter page for posting them, you can
see that the main stand on fire, which
has been completely ruined, also the dressing rooms are located under stand.
Also apparently the clubhouse was looted
and set fire after been recently done up.
This comes as a big blow for football in
Rossendale as people were considering setting up a new club called AFC
Rossendale and compete in the West Lancs league after Rossendale United ceased
being a football club for the start of this season.
As a Chorley fan it is a great shame to see
this happen to Dark Lane, which is was a great little ground- I only visited
Dark Lane once when the magpies visited in the FA Trophy in 2009 the magpies
winning 2-1 with goals being an own goal and a strike from Terry Fearns.
